Something with the Oculus VR tech. I think there's massive, exciting options opening up with the Gear VR or similar, and anyone starting now will have a substantial first mover advantage.

I have two specific applications for VR: the metaverse, and really good porn. (These do not need to be combined though I suppose they could.)

I would argue that Second Life failed mostly due to execution issues. I'd love to see a virtual world where I can socialize, and where I can build cool spaces to hang out with my friends / hold meetings / work.



There are already a few projects working on both.

Phillip Rosedale, the guy behind Second Life, is working on a next-gen equivalent. Janus VR, meanwhile, is busy working at turning the Web into a metaverse, and getting some rave reviews.

As for porn, http://www.reddit.com/r/oculusnsfw/ is your source there... "Really good" porn is, of course, highly taste-dependent.


I was thinking about a minority reports type desktop in VR.


The thing is you probably don't have John Carmack or Michael Abrash.
