I’m having hard time to help my parents troubleshoot their equipment remotely, when they try to observe the objects both with their eyes and manipulate phone camera for our video chat simultaneously. You can get sick of camera shaking, and they are getting tired too. I thought maybe if they had a VR headset and could stream their view directly to the chat, it could be helpful. Maybe I could even somehow point at things in their view to tell, for example, which cable to check. I do not own a headset, and I couldnt find info of such tools via simple/AI search (maybe wrong keywords). Maybe you know of such domestic solutions?
I’m guessing you haven’t tried to do it. I can spend twenty minutes trying to read something my father-in-law needs help with over video chat. From his “and how do I turn the back camera on?”, to my “no back a bit and left. The other left”, and the classic “you turned off your video, let me call you back” because it’s faster than guiding him on how to turn it on while he swears that he didn’t press anything.
I’ve done it a few times. It’s not the best but vr would be far worse.
Do you think “how do I turn video back on?” would be easier in VR? You have obviously never used VR.
