I think the difference between VR and 3D Movies is gigantic in terms of potential and experience. Already the VR experience is much more immersive and will continue to grow in that regard in the future.
Of course there are people who dont care much about Virtual Worlds. And it might not have the mass market appeal, as for example a smartphone, in the near future and thats why its not really interesting for Apple. I think they go for products that basically could be for everyone. VR right now is clearly aiming at the gamer crowd, maybe the movie buff crowd. But that might change in a couple of years.
Me as a gamer, though, or somebody who is still interested in that, anyway, I must say I am exited :)
I think it always depends on what your intention of communication is. Like it is said in the article. Most of the time you want to communicate to others what you are thinking. The simpler the better. I guess there is a similarity to writing code. Your machine can only handle exact commands for communication.
But in human-to-human interaction there is more. Sometimes you want others to start thinking about something. Put an image in their head. Draw a comparison to let them think of the bigger picture.I dont think for that purpose spoken language is always the best way.
I and probably everyone who has ever talked to investors/VCs had a similar experience to yours. And from an Investors standpoint it does make sense to basically ignore the product. Even though that can be frustrating. I think the pitfalls and traps that came with the interviewers questions have been discussed already. You know what they want to hear so naturally you are going to do better next time.
Anyway by all means there was good advice on here but don't get discouraged if you are passionate about your product. Because that, beside product and Team and everything else, is still the most important factor in a startup imo.
I agree. There is nothing wrong with them in the sense that it needs to be fixed. And if they fixed a time problem for people who dont enjoy food. Fine.
I still disagree with their approach and i think i have the right to state that without be labled as judgemental.
I do actually have a friend who is the same way. He says he eats just to be not hungry. He couldnt care less about food. I dont like this attitude. But he is still my friend. There is a difference between pointing out a different opinion and being judgemental. Its just a small part of his persona anyway.
Another thing:
"I don't think judging other people based on the decisions they make is a healthy attitude."
What would be a healthy attitude to judge others by?
I am not sure where you are coming from or if you got my point. If you do not enjoy food/sex or whatever doesnt mean you are not a genius and can actually be important. The one thing doesnt have anything to do with the other.
I would still argue that these people are a minority and that there is actually something wrong with them, instead of there is something wrong with our consumption of food.
Of course if you dont find pleasures in these activities you wont feel sick or bad about it. But you should consider that this is not a problem that a lot of people face because most of them actually enjoy eating.
The main issue i have with this is not wether it works or not. Even if it would be as healthy as the healthiest foods you could cook and it would therefore "work" i still would despise this. Why?
First off I think somethings simply do not need to be fixed. The making, eating and sharing of food is one of life's greatest pleasures. It is like saying .. well how can i fix this this sex thing? its taking too much of my time away.
I know there are indeed people who don't have much time because they are very busy. My suggestion is indeed .. fix your time management and/or your schedule instead of fixing your food.
If you dont enjoy food than i would suggest there is something wrong with you. Because we were all programmed to enjoy it .. like sex .. it is one of our main motivators in life.
