I hope Zuckerberg loses. Not because I am a fan of Zenimax but nobody cares about VR for non-gaming applications apart from porn and he should know that. This idiot also wanted to censor information about rapes for Angela Merkel. He is part of the NWO. Hololens looks to be the future. You can see real objects while seeing CG ones like the HUD of the cyborg in the Terminator movies. You could have a sex robot that sits there and the augmented reality thing projects an image of a beautiful girl onto the blank object. You can touch the doll rotate it around, (it feels like the real thing) and the augmented reality thing will rotate the CG image as you rotate the object so you could fuck the robot and if you got tired of that girl, you could upload a different girl onto the AR so lets say you want a red head instead of blonde. The physical doll could stay the same but the Augmented Reality image can change its appaerance.By Wesley Yin-Poole Published 17/01/2017
Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg is set to defend Oculus in court today in the lawsuit with id Software owner ZeniMax over the development of virtual reality technology.

ZeniMax, which also owns The Elder Scrolls and Fallout maker Bethesda, is suing Facebook for $2bn over claims it stole its virtual reality technology.
ZeniMax said Oculus unlawfully copied its early VR tech as it built its own headset, the Rift. Facebook bought Oculus in 2014 for an eye-watering $2bn.
According to the BBC, Zuckerberg will argue ZeniMax "was slow to appreciate the potential of VR - and that it was Oculus' own work that made it the valuable technology it is today".
"We're eager to present our case in court," a spokesman for Oculus said.
"Oculus and its founders have invested a wealth of time and money in VR because we believe it can fundamentally transform the way people interact and communicate.
"We're disappointed that another company is using wasteful litigation to attempt to take credit for technology that it did not have the vision, expertise, or patience to build."
Central to the lawsuit is legendary video game programmer John Carmack. Carmack worked or both id and Oculus for a brief period in 2013, but left ZeniMax completely in November 2013 to work full-time at Oculus.
ZeniMax accuses Carmack of sharing its intellectual property with Oculus while he was working at id Software and claims he took it with him when he left.
In a statement, ZeniMax said it and id Software "welcome the opportunity to present substantial evidence" in court.
"That evidence includes the theft of trade secrets and highly confidential information, including computer code. ZeniMax will also present evidence of the Defendants' intentional destruction of evidence to cover up their wrongdoing. ZeniMax and id Software are the visionary developers of breakthrough VR technology and look forward to the vindication of our claims."
Carmack's lawyers counter this by arguing his contract explicitly allowed him to work with other companies that did not compete with ZeniMax, and thus the tech he helped create did not belong to ZeniMax in the first place.
Oculus founder Palmer Luckey, who has gone off the radar after it emerged he had funded an online troll campaign in support of Donald Trump, is also expected to be called to the stand this week.
ZeniMax says Luckey lacked the expertise to create a viable virtual reality headset, and relied on ZeniMax to help create the prototype that impressed Facebook.
The case, which is taking place in a Dallas, Texas court is expected to last three weeks.
MS could make a lot from this stuff. The SJW and feminist can not stop technological progress like this.
Anymore then MRA group can stop sex toys for women which objectify men by seeing us as nothing more than a penis.
Too bad nintendo didn't get in on this shit. They are probably scared because of their experiences with the Virtual Boy in the past and the 3D thing. (the mainstream media demonises it because of a belief it will ruin kids eyes)
I think the haptic feedback of the Switch would be put to good use if they did a VR goggle thing though. Maybe make a mingame where you play as a TSA agent and you get to feel up all the girls to search for hidden bombs. You can stick your finger up her anus and make her lick your finger to prove she isn't fucking Saudi Princes involved in 911 and letting herself get peed on and shat on for money. If she doesn't lick the sperm, it means she is a suspect. You can keep her undies for further analysis and maybe sell it to japanese salesmen who sell used panties in vending machines as a side biz.
