gollark: The last one was at someone's house, but the VR thing was some sort of "lab" environment with lots of random things in it, I don't remember much.

gollark: Google Cardboard (obviously not very high quality but at least vaguely cool), some racing game in a science museum some years back when it was still newer and shinier, and I think last year some kind of VR "lab" thing on some fancier VR setup.

gollark: Mostly various tech demos, honestly?

gollark: Personally, I still prefer flatscreen interfaces to VR.

gollark: Hmm, apparently there's competition now in extremely fast `grep` implementations.
