The speaker discusses the potential uses and downsides of virtual reality headsets, acknowledging that while they can be useful for activities like gaming and work, the quality of the video in the headset is not as good as watching a high-resolution flat screen.
The launch of Oculus Quest, one of the first real standalone VR headsets, is driving sales and interest in playing Beat Saber, a popular virtual reality game that brings back nostalgic memories of 90s arcade dance challenge mats. Other companies like Vive are also developing their own standalone VR headsets to meet the growing demand for immersive gaming experiences.
The resolution of a video can be reduced when viewed through a VR headset, but the Insta360 ONE X camera provides better quality videos for VR experiences compared to the Oculus Go. Additionally, the communication between the VR headset and user's eyes can also affect video quality.
The speaker discusses the varied uses of virtual reality headsets and their advantages and disadvantages compared to traditional screens. The headset has limitations in resolution, but offers immersive experiences such as racing car driving or virtual tours of famous buildings.
