- technology is gonna improve (much of what ya mention: VR specific
- development environments, file standards, high speed "phone" lines, etc.)...
-
- much of this is already being undertaken by the "tool" makers (there are
- tools available for providing vr -- both at low-level and high-level price
- points [i.e. in the realm of both what the average person can and cannot
- afford to purchase])...
-
- the idea that we have to wait for technology to improve before
- attempting to build anything...
-
- the notion that until the technology becomes "easier to use" or more
- readily available...
-
- if ya stick with that notion ya can stand and wait forever (there
- is plenty 'o stuff out there right now that enables even the average pc
- user to get goin' on creatin' lotsa cool things).
