what's the deal with this? can it really work?

>>55922257
In theory? Yes.
But whats the fuckin point? You can get a monitor and a bluetooth keyboard cheaper than a loptop

>can it work?
Yes.
>is it useful?
No.

looks-like-a-macbook/10

>no x86 software
>uses the
FUCKING DROPPED

>>55922257
>VR monitor

Why isn't this funded?

>>55922506
Because phones are still dogshit in terms of performance when compared to even a cheap $300 A8 APU custom desktop PC build. Basically if a VR desktop were attempted on a phone it would either look like shit or you would have to view it in a vomit inducing 5-10 FPS. This is ignoring the 99.99999% of apps that are incompatible with VR.

That's my dream set up now that I've stopped playing games.

i rather have a real laptop no this awful gimmick

I honestly think something like this is the future of home computing, but it's not really worth doing right now.

I don't know

In the future I can see this happening with a computer screen being a "dock" and it having usb ports for your mouse, keyboard and whatever usb peripherals.

When phones are strong enough to run desktop applications/games, this will be standard for home computing.

It's been done, numbnuts. You were probably too young to remember it since was made a whole five years ago.

If it does happen, it'll probably happen about the same time where computing power is small and fast enough so that smartwatches aren't giant pieces of shit on your wrist.

Can you repeat the question?

>>55922977
That phone was legit. I literally ran over it in my Chevy Aveo and it came out unscathed with the exception of the tire treads dirtying the screen

>week later, get a call saying it's early

>regret it kinda

yeah I wish I just got it

We need 8k screens just to be able to replicate a 1080p monitor in vr, let alone the processing power to drive the headset. But otherwise the tech already exists.

>>55922257
Yeah, I charge my phone with my laptop every day

>>55922257
So here's a basic question nobody asked

If you already have two screens with apps on them, why would you need to then show those apps you can already see on the screen in VR?

Because you can? This is when I realized there wasn't even a point to technology anymore. This is when I died inside.

I was going to post exactly this.
Had a XT912 Motorola RAZR with the LapDock 500.

Fucking awesome little gadget. I wish there would be a newer version of this.

Even disregarding the Motorola Atrix, the design of this thing is fucking atrocious. It's designed in such a way that it can only be used on a table. Alternatively it requires precariously and uncomfortably balancing the phone on the intended wristwrests, or having a really long cable going to your pocket and hoping it doesn't snag.

On top of all of that, at the $99 price point, you could literally get a full Windows 10 laptop or any number of Windows 10 tablets in sizes ranging from 5" to 12". Then you'd actually have a usable OS for productivity.

That's not virtual reality, that's augmented reality

Mark my fucking words.

6 years - everyone will use their phones as their primary device and connect to desktop or laptop peripherals. Wirelessly, seamlessly, using something like bluetooth.

>>55924275
Augmented reality doesn't need 8k for menus that compliment your screen.

Let me guess, 1366x768?
