Valve spokesperson told Road to VR that they’re not promising to support stereoscopic 3D for flat games but they are looking into it.
The company further said it’s considering a system-level implementation that could display any stereoscopic 3D content, whether it’s stereoscopically rendered games, videos, or photos. Should the stereoscopic 3D feature be built, Valve told me it would “be our goal” to be able to display such content when streamed from a PC or rendered directly on the headset itself.
This would be an exciting feature. I don’t need games to be these deeply interactive VR experiences. Just having any old game playing on a virtual 3D TV would be wonderful.
Imagining a program that let’s you recreate your childhood bedroom and play super Nintendo games.
Prediction: some collector of old gadgets will set up a computer room with dystopian vibes (old broken CRT screens, various anachronistic electronics, etc), then have their VR/AR glasses repaint the room as some futuristic base, and pretend they’re living in some cyberpunk world
Tldr escaping reality, but pretending you’re escaping another reality
