Hey Steemit,
I had lots of fun playing 3D-painting with the Vive at a VR Headspace in San Francisco today.
I started with strong brushes on a virtual canvas in front of me, but after a few seconds I understood that I could make real use of the 3D space.
By taking a step while turning 90º, I realized that the canvas/space did not move with me, it was fixed in position mid-air, frozen in time – I felt like Quicksilver in that amazing X-Men scene where.
I could manipulate my creation in fine detail from another vantage point. It's really an experience unlike anything else I've ever had in my life.
A girl painting in the VR room before me. She was enjoying it too.
Final Thoughts

It's still very buggy and expensive. But I can see the incredible potential, especially for creative collaborations. Making art, science, music, learning, so many applications. It's not there yet though. VR needs a few more years.
