    Can’t wait to see people wearing those around the office. Thinking about it. if you remove the desk, monitors, keyboard, mouse and just sit down bunch of programmers next to each other with those goggles it can actually be cheaper for the company to run an office even at 3.5k per headset.

      a monitor keyboard and mouse costs more than 3500?

      what the fuck are you going to do at work without a keyboard and mouse?

      what

          Laptops run around $1k. Desks are… $1200, tops? Unless you’re doing the mahogany lawyer desk thing. Keyboard and mouse are less than $100 for the set.

          And we also generally don’t need to replace our desks every 3-5 years, because they can no longer support the hardware sitting on them.

              So just don’t purchase overpriced Crapple products. Problem solved.

            Windows/Linux based high end laptops are a grand or so, an entry level MacBook can easily be $1500-2000.

            • two monitors and desk separators. So instead of spending $2000 per employee you spend $3500 but cram 3 where you used to fit only 1. Also, you can put windows with nice view and office decor in the VR so the office can now be in a basement with blank walls. You would save tons of money on real estate.

        Did you even read what they said? Read it again, they were talking about tables and monitors as well.

        Also I may need to point out they were making a joke about cramming more people into a smaller space.

      Imagine how many people you can pack in a small space. You only would need 2ft x 2ft space per person and you can put the entire company on a single floor!
