Hi /lit/
Would you pay 5000$ to convert your novel to VR-Book for Oculus Rift and HTC Vive? It'd be sold on Steam you you'd get 70% from revenue, after Valve's cut; or a website like Amazon.

No, I don't want light from pixels beaming an inch from my fucking eyes for hours on end.

>spend $5000
>only ~120 people or so purchase it (being really generous to myself here)
>reviews lean towards negative and mixed because everyone feels like its a gimmick
>my writing isn't and never will be appreciated / given any serious though
>purchases halt
>everyone realizes book vr was a shit idea in general
Nah

you read a book in VR environments from the book

Why not have audiobook vr then?
That way you can listen and look around, perhaps even interact on a basic level with some things or environments, instead of looking at a virtual book.

it's audiobook as well, forgot to mention
This technology seems promising, but I think I'll hold off until they somehow manage to completely eliminate the reader's imagination from the process of reading altogether.

sounds like a fucking scam to me.

another trendy shit. Will die out soon with neck pain.
Hi /lit/, would you pay 5000$ for a limited run, artist edition of your novel?
VR Moby Dick
>walk around ship doing menial tasks while Ishmael follows you, shoving pictures of whales in your face, freaking out over 2000 year old stories that use the word whale, and having an absolute shit fit about misrepresentations of whales and whaling equipment in literature, until he's literally screaming in your face like you did something wrong.
>NO HONOR IN WHALING!?
