    Hamsphere 4.0 already has virtual contesting (only without the Reality Goggles).

    Nope, not really. I will listen in to the podcast though. Just noting that there is virtual radio contesting that doesn't require wearing VR gear...

    There's no virtue in virtual.

    They definitely have some interesting ideas. Jerri has already hooked up her IC-7610 to her AR software and can scroll through the bandscope in 3D. Not sure where AR will come into play in contesting or ham radio in general ? Remote multi op contesting using AR seems to make sense to me? Looking forward to seeing what other innovations comes through using AR related to ham radio.

    My goodness virtual contesting, why not the real thing. What next then: CALL OF DUTY -7200 SATURDAY AFTERNOON - "with over two hours of harvested audio from K9RSY"

    That's my fault. It shouldn't have been "virtual" but rather "augmented".

    Your comment is proof you have no idea what Jeri is even doing.
