For each of the seven aspects the creators of the resource have briefly identified 7 basic pros and cons. Having read that comment one of my musings is, even if developers only focused on the factors identified, I could see how this would make the VR experience way better for everyone - while also opening up a raft of possibilities ... if, as you say Ray, the momentum continues and doesn't go the way of Second Life. Mark Bartlet from The AbleGamers Foundation’s, feels that "the hype is a good thing", who goes on to say "“I can’t say what it will do for my community. I am not 100% sold on what the tech will do for gaming, much less the disabled community,” Barlet said. “We are going to see one or two rounds of games, everyone will take advantage of it and then the market is going to speak and then we will decide if we like virtual reality or not … it has been in the hands of so few people, that we don’t know what the truth is yet” (source: https://arc.applause.com/2016/03/21/disabled-gamers-virtual-reality/)Hazel Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08950941425471706113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22260705.post-9537336059586624412016-11-07T11:32:05.472-06:002016-11-07T11:32:05.472-06:00Thanks for this, Ray.
