I'm not particularly evangelical about it either way and I'm normally the first to reject yet another sub forum being added to an already long list, but does VR tech deserve its own forum?

It's currently split between GPU and Mobile Phones, and it doesn't exclusively sit in either.

Flame away.
 
Interesting. Given the scale of what this round of VR is likely to become, the press attention it's had, and the fact that it's split across three (thanks Nismo) sub forums at the moment, I'd have thought there'd at least be a good chunk of people that thought it was a good idea.

Can we have a poll please?

- Yes
- No
- Just show me the porn

I accept that it's very much in its infancy however. But then how 'on the water' ever got through governance is anyone's guess :p.

I agree that the existing structure needs an overhaul to get rid of the less relevant / less used sections.

You need a flagship Samsung Galaxy phone to use Gear VR and it's a phone accessory so it does fit in Mobile Phones.

You also forgot that the gamers already have it covered in PC Games so at present really no need to make a sub forum.

Phoned based VR can go in phones, VR gaming chat can go in gaming, VR GPU discussion can go in GPUs. However where does chat about the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, along with the myriad of other devices that will inevitably be released, most naturally sit?

If consensus is 'just stick it in general hardware' then ok, but I personally think it's too big a deal to get lost in there.

Wait until you're experiencing an astronaut in space wearing a VR camera on a space walk and streaming it live back to earth Cosimo, then you'll want a dedicated room for it, never mind sub forum!
