Billion dollar idea?

PostBillion dollar idea? by **Peter Crisp** » Sat May 05, 2018 5:55 pm

This is going to revolutionise gaming as we know it I'm 100% positive of that but I need input before I put all my cash behind it.

My idea is like Gogglebox but in VR.
So you put on the VR headset and from a static position you can watch someone play a VR game (the hard stuff like how I get the footage can be worked out later when I'm on a desert island with my many billions of pounds from franchising out this idea) and that's it. you have no control over the game or the person playing it and can only see the TV (this may be cut if Gogglebox realises what a relentless rep-off this is) but apparently watching people do stuff is all the rage with the kids these days.
I'm fairly sure I can adapt the game Tumble to achieve result I want if I just rip out the game part and just use the static vr position in a room.

So, just how many Billion do you think I should expect from this?

In theory it could work.

If there was a way to get a feed of the 360 image around the player you could in theory be able to sit in it and then look about independent of the player.

Although I think it would need to be built into the game rather than a a screen capture like twitch and the processing would probably be very high and your bandwidth needs huge.

I don't mean watching the game I mean watching the person playing the game, this is much much less exciting than I think you think this is.

This is watching a person with a hat on playing a game you mostly can't see and have no control of it's a sure fire hit. As I said it's like an even shittier version of gogglebox with less talking and more watching someone with what's effectively a bucket on their head.

Sounds like a recipe for motion sickness to me.

So you want to watch Lets Play videos using a VR headset instead of a monitor?

Again having never seen a let play video I have no idea what that is :shifty:

It seems I may be rather out of the loop with modern gaming and what the kids do these days but no matter this will be the game they all want this Christmas.

Christmas is still a thing isn't it?

Nope, it is called multi cultural winter fest to prevent offending people.

Bloody liberals, I'm considering not voting Lib Dem now.

So you think I should maybe hold off on my bid to buy Richard Branson's island?

I *think* I can see your idea, Peter...

So it's Twitch but you get a 3D view of the streamer? Not the game?

Yep.
It's going to be strawberry floating gooseberry fool but somehow be super popular just like Gogglebox.

In my defence I have zero interest in this kind of thing so how was I supposed to know my billion dollar idea already existed?
