Though the film is the better part of a decade old, it remains relevant to modern discussions on how we conceptualize use cases for emerging virtual and augmented reality technologies. Matsuda himself subsequently began working in AR following the film's release, leading design teams at both Leap Motion (now Ultraleap) and Microsoft.

Sound is essential for truly immersive VR. For this reason, sound is more than just an immersive tool – how (and where) objects around you sound has an enormous effect on your understanding of where they are, especially when you’re not looking at them. Presence and Realism in 3D Space. But it’s not perfect. Setting Boundaries.

I expected some sorts of runtime, configuration panel, hardware diagnostic tool, etc… instead, there is nothing. The finger tracking can be improved and it is worse than the one of Leap Motion, also because every finger has not all its DOF tracked. As you can see, the hardware setup is not plug and play.

These are all very positive news for VR: the technology is slowly getting adoption and while not mainstream yet, I agree with Zuck that in 1–2 years we’ll start getting there. The technology is amazing, but I think it’s too rough to be reliably used nowadays in gaming. All of this is cool, but I think it’s also a smoke of hype.
