Just noting that there is a lot of stuff discussed that lacks specific sections that has nothing really to do with 3D in particular (HMDs, Lucid Dreaming, Fresnel setups, wearable computing, augmented reality, force feedback, etc). The other thing is that it is scattered all over, and unless you already know where the interesting topics are, it can be hard to find relevant info.Same thing with the Stereo3D forums, but worse. They are an invaluable resource, but not very visible to modern search engines, and uses an ancient bulletin board system. Far better to have something standardized and modern that can be reliably backed up and archived and moved, if needed. Especially considering that basically all the old virtual reality and wearable computing web sites have disappeared, and the state of the rest in constant danger (There were actually a lot of good Geocities sites, before it was shut down!), it makes sense to have a place where relevant info can be posted, so that it does not vanish with those mid 90s websites.
Basically, keeping 3D discussion here is great, but I was wondering it it might be beneficial for someone to try a dedicated website for "All that other weird stuff".
Anybody think this is a decent idea? I could add a sub-domain on my web site for a PHPBB forum, and if it works well, I can and will get some hosting with a dedicated domain and all that.There is too niche of a community for this stuff to expect it to be large, but it could be a great resource! And would possible ease keeping up to date with this stuff.
Thoughts, anyone? I could just be dead wrong, if you think so, tell me why, you are likely right.
I mean, even here, realize that 80%+ of the discussion about VR stuff is from the same 10 people or so. And the views on the topics are also very, very small! Even if it was just a small forum with not too much traffic, it would be nice to have everything we can find about HMDs and stuff posted on it so that the info will not be lost.
