You will experience "reduced anxiety and improved overall emotional mood" (at least if you are part of a herd). Government experts say to russian newspaper.

;)

“Experts noted reduced anxiety and improved overall emotional mood in the herd” during the VR experiment, said the regional agriculture administration.

I've fucking heard it all now :rofl2:
Nothing can possibly top this.
I wonder if they would give me one if I found a sufficiently realistic looking cow costume and hid inbetween the other cows :P Do realistic cow costumes even exist?

Damn crazy Russians. Only they could come up with something like this.

OBVIOUS horseshit. OH no my fault, I forgot about the VR headsets that were specifically designed to comfortably fit a cow's face. And match a cow's eyes, so they can comfortably see, via IPD adjustments etc etc. And have it attached with a custom cow-shaped headpiece that can stay on a COW comfortably (cows never shake their heads, or move, or anything, right?) I'm sure such a thing is entirely feasible. I'm sure this REALLY happened. YEAH RIGHT.

Story says - not in winter.

In winter cows are held in stables.

(Potential analogies to gamer lifestyles? ;) )

Real story is this. So VR is emotional manipulation of feelings, already - on a businessmodel level. :)
To reduce living/upkeep costs. Relative to productivity.

Bright future.

edit: Also great solution for the (still unsolved) movement disconnect issue in VR. Just chain users. ;)

McAfee thinks, that you are so on trend, you wouldnt even believe... ;)

(Now we are getting meta. Oh wait. We already were.. ;) )

Also, dont forget, that VR gets cheaper. Currently its the new cool expensive tool. But for cow business model to work - VR has to become cheap. Which it will.

Thats the disconnect between "its only dumb cow", and "but it gets cool expensive gear for free" - thats the main draw of the title of this topic.


These are early planing stages. Price will scale down over time.


edit: Also - if this is russian anti western propaganda in the style of Vladislav Surkov - chapeau. Because, that cow image - will stick in my mind for years.

edit2: *Insert "In soviet russia, only cows get VR." joke here*
