great idea, we could call it virginfit

Use whatever you want, the point is to get in shape.

Play a rythm game like beatsaber for cardio.
WiiFit-like programs are too cringy, you won't be able to follow them long enough.

It's the most gayest most soiest most pussiest idea I've ever heard in my life. I'm sure Jow Forums will love it.

I hope VR actually becomes the norm with video games. Like you have to physically sprint in order to actually sprint in game. To jump over a fence you have to actually jump in real life. Every single movement you do is mirrored in game.

FPS games would be so fun, the fatties would suffer and the physically fit would always win. Has anyone else thought of this?

Seems expensive, not functional and sad.

fatties go full tank

fatties always find a way to cheat. Look at pokemon and geo spoofing. I know there's no way my fat fucking friend made 30k steps a day for a year and didn't die or lose weight. Tournaments would be cool though but I suspect a lot of it would sort of turn into more real life combat lot of keeping low and covering fire and not so much blitzing their flanks. The meta will probably be camp rooms from cover or corners with short range low ttk weapons.

Very cringe in current year. Perhaps in another 20 years when VR is actually mainstream and you don't have to worry about cumbersome shit and sweat messing with your workout.
>t. Oculus Rift CV1 owner

This will never happen

Oculus CV1 is outdated garbage. Try Valve Index.

>deadlift 500k kg in vr gym

>spine snaps in half

That's why they have to hook it up to your nerves so that when you lift in VR it contracts the muscles in real life.

Does porn look good in VR?

yes, it's already made
youtu.be/ugn9YHyvtS8?t=16

Any movement helps

Not really. The appeal of vr isn't just that you can look around but also that you can move your head around in that space freely. Vr porn is always a camera placed under some guys chin with the focal point set entirely wrong so you feel like a paraplegic midget next to some ugly Russia slut. The only way it can be good is with full 3d renders and some physical fuck hole in the real world.

There are VR porn games. They are quite good, and you can even fuck anime bitches.

Can I sgueeze big anime tiddies?

yea with VR gloves
it'll cost you about $600

unless you wanna wait for the air bubble ones so it imitates what you should feel in the game with air bubble technology price not yet known

and working out in VR sucks, cause you get so sweaty you need airflow on you like air conditioner but then your eye goggle shit gets foggy

You can do whatever you want.

air bubble technology that makes it feel like you're grabbing the VR object like anime tits

lmao at the avatar being a black guy

where I can buy something like this? Got a few grands that I have no idea how to invest.

Jesus, man. Build hydroponic plant or some
other useful shit. Don't spend money on a jerk off machine, holy shit.

Terrible, the lenses on the HMD would get foggy real quick.
That's the same reason VR porn is struggling to catch on.

That's more like AR (augmented reality). Don't get me wrong, I think AR is better than VR. You can add in all sorts of things while you work out at home.

finally i can live out my fantasies

I don't know man, all technologies seems kinda bad. VR/AR, fitness trackers, giant smartphones. Just pump fucking iron for fuck sake

its still more economicaly viable than a relationship with a 3d woman, desu

getting nice relaxation improves your overall quality of life and adds extra energy. That could help in business tremendously. What I mean is that jerk off machines might be a guarantee of success and development in life.

Send it to me, I’ll find a use for it I’m sure

Trackers on your bar and stuff so when you put on the headset it's like your benching a stick with a bunch of acrobats balancing on it or whatever vr developers make

>plastic strewn across the pavement because he ate shit

Then just buy a fucking fleshlight. Japs make some mad shit and it coast about $100. It's on the same level of pathetic, but at least you can spend everything else on whey.

>Vr porn is always a camera placed under some guys chin with the focal point set entirely wrong so you feel like a paraplegic midget next to some ugly Russia slut.
This. They always get the position wrong, it either feels like the girl is 30 feet away from you, or like your dick is on your chest.

I spend everything else on whey anyway and simulated human intimacy would probably do wonders for my psyche. I tried vr porn/games a few times and they are really fun for me, I dont even get vertigo.

I kind of want a physics based MMA thing like this where i can practice ankle pick timings yoel romero style, i figure if i can do 150-200lb explosive barbell lifts from the ground to above my head, in a fight i might be able to grab a dudes foot and just fucking flip him unless he weighs 250lb, 160lb skinnylets are fucked.

Its not exactly something you can fucking practice at BJJ on people without fucking them up, i need to buy a 170lb training dummy or some shit.

I thought about making this. Main problem is you can't feel anything in VR.
So you wouldn't feel the weight of someone as you trip them, and if you end up on the ground it's basically impossible to replicate BJJ in VR.

But for practicing positioning and motor reflexes, it could definitely be a useful tool.

Honestly I would much rather spend 1k on a VR headset and be done with it than spend 5x that annually on a GF and have to deal with nagging/manipulation.
So I did.

did you buy a fleshlight too? does it feel like "you are there" or after the first few times you get too used to the illusion and it still feels more like jacking off instead of sex?

I kinda really want VR because after my last breakup most women just arent attractive for me. I had a shot with a really nice girl so I guess I just dont want to downgrade but I doubt I will ever have chances with a woman out of my league like that. Meanwhile 2d anime waifus always seem attractive, so thats vr really would be the best.

>I had a shot with a really nice girl so I guess I just dont want to downgrade but I doubt I will ever have chances with a woman out of my league like that.
iktf
this never changes btw, 8 years later.

Yeah its more for the timing training and range estimation, so long as the other character is moving and those feet are moving and the character reacts to physics with good accuracy, i can probably practice load for muscle memory by doing explosive lifts from ground to chest with around 120-150lb, my concern is getting it wrong and fucking my back up. Probably have to take care to get my legs properly involved and start squating heavy.

I do lifts at work that are mechanically very similar but are generally repeating lifts of about 60lb max. It would just be a case of spending a long time increasing loads for explosive lifts that are mechically similar, VR would be a cool tool for getting the distance and timing down though.

>than spend 5x that annually on a GF
Fuck. There is certain benefits in living in eastern europe. We piss poor as fuck and our girls don't expect their men to spent entire salaries on them. I mean, Ukrainian/Russian gold digging whores are real, but you can spot them from afar and they don't date their countrymen anyway.
But still it all sound fucking gay. Either west is fucked completely or you Jow Forums refugees don't know shit about women besides internet anecdotes

Literally the same gimmick

As far as visuals, it looks great. You can get lost in it and forget that it's fake for intermittent periods.
The main concern is replicating the feeling, since your thrusts in real life may not be timed well with what's happening in game.
I would imagine the illusion is greatly enhanced if you have a setup like the webm posted above, but not sure if those are released yet.
You're not gonna spend your entire salary, but 5k a year is reasonable.
That's just eating out together once a week for $100. And of course women here expect you to do it, if you make any money.
If you don't then they wouldn't be with you.

It's just a guy in a black suit you obsessed Jow Forumslack faggot
