Windows Holographic Shell Demo [video]

It's sad that the promise of VR was that we could be taken to places that we couldn't go in real life. Like Iceland - I'd love to go to Iceland, but there are issues that prevent that. Or maybe The Louvre, but without all the other tourists, etc. clogging up the joint.

No, we get email and a virtual dog.

So far, I'm not seeing a reason to even want VR, much less shell out ridiculous amounts of money for it.

OK, that's more like it. The marketoids should have led with that and gotten bigger from there, rather than leading with the mundane stuff I can already do just as well with a bog-standard computer.
