Long, ugly and unnecessary. Cables: whether it is possible to live with them? [you think] – Gadzeto Mania

Although it would seem that in the era of wireless cables are a marginal issue, it can still mess. In a negative sense.

Why Oculus Rift may have difficulty convincing the undecided? Not about graphics, dizziness or lack of games. Palmer Luckey, founder of Oculus, stated that main obstacle might be … the cable. Here you have the advantage of VR goggles that into action need only a smartphone and thus are fully wireless. And both Oculus Rift VR and the PlayStation or the HTC Vive, use the wire and must be connected to the console and PC. The wires are leash, lack of freedom and liberty.

Everything is wireless

Today on the news that the cables are a problem, you can smile. It’s still there? Then the Internet: wireless. The mouse and keyboard? Wireless. Playing on the pad? Wireless. Listening to music on the headphones? Wireless. Load? And how: wireless.

And then there is a risk that in this era of wireless VR stumble on the cables . At least, so says Palmer Luckey, who draws attention to the fact that the goggles’ smartfone “, ie those wireless are better and more convenient from the point of view of the user. Sure there will be people who suddenly find: Gosh, really something in it, the wire so very disturbing!

And in my opinion there is no theme. Palmer Luckey is trying to tone down the mood and go out for a quiet guy who cold eye assesses the situation. And perhaps a little bother looking for holes throughout.

Sure, I would like everything to be wireless. To do not have to remember the charger , but you could recharge a smartphone … well, wherever possible. Putting it on the table, cabinet, countertop. For this, we strive, as evidenced by furniture from Ikea, able to charge the equipment. In this store we buy a bedside table and lamp with a place to wireless charging. There are also special pads that can be placed, eg. On the kitchen counter.

But the cables in my life are still present. With me is a mouse, wired. The cable is not long, but in no way does not bother me at work. Yet not once – seriously! – I not pissed off that the cable is. Very often strapped a falls to the PlayStation 4 because I always forget to charge it before playing. And instead of using the wireless capabilities, sitting in front of screen, as in the days of PSX or Playstation 2. I suffer? Here, fortunately, the cable is longer, so the difference is the meter, no more than two. Can withstand. Although I lived in a house rather than an apartment block, probably odczułbym it more.

Cables used, cables today

would feel even more cable loops around the neck, if I had to talk on the phone desktop – county. If I could not pass up the laptop to bed, because I did not allow me to do this cable from the Internet. If I have to use a hundred different chargers to any other device. Just as it did in the past.

Something like that is. But all this does not mean that got rid of the cables and return to them will be a big problem. Moreover, even if we are forced to use traditional cables, it turns out that this is not so terrible. Let’s take a simple example with a charger and a phone. Smartphone and many other electronic gadgets (tablet, reader) Charge in trains or buses without any problems, with one, the same charger. Once unthinkable, and today possible – though still charger and cable are needed for that. And yet … well, it does not hurt.

Mains better than Wi-Fi

Often I am convinced that people consciously make use of wires. For example, the PlayStation 4 – many have experienced firsthand that the games take up more quickly when the console is connected to “the cable” and not via WiFi. It is obvious setback Sony , but it is the people of this exercise, the world will not collapse.
I will not collapse when virtual reality. It’s obvious that sitting at a computer or game console are not inclined to take long walks. Besides watching videos as convincing is the technology of VR maybe it’s better that we had something stuck, hold on-site . Otherwise, some landing on cabinets, chairs and tables, because it wczuliby in the game.
In fact, we are still accustomed to the fact that wires are and restrict us. So we will not be shocked if Oculus Rift makes us sit at a desk – because pecetowi players and so they do. Similarly, the PlayStation VR . And so we play being a short distance from the console, so goggles Sony rather us not come near to it, or can not move. Very little will change.

in your opinion

Because even though the cables are, they are not so onerous as it might seem. Do you agree with that? Or maybe for you skreślają cables virtual reality and as long as Oculus Rift will not become a fully wireless s, you have no intention to assume goggles. What is your opinion: can not live with the cables if you need to get rid of them as soon as possible?
