@realJomoko We plan to open creator beta this summer. Thanks for your interest!

At least that's according to whoever was running Sansar's official Twitter account yesterday. Calling it an "Open Creator Beta" is a bit different from what's been said before -- last month, the report was "Sansar goes into open Alpha in summer 2017, allowing anyone with a VR headset to sign up and try it out". Subtle but significant difference in wording here.
This is pretty much trying to interpret tea leaves at this point, but Linden Lab now calling this Summer's target "Open Creator Beta", as opposed to a more general open Alpha for "anyone", seems like a bid to encourage developers to jump into Sansar this Summer, while subtly messaging the public that it's not necessarily ready for everyday consumers just yet. Which would be a smart move since they seem to still be adding key features as we speak.
When oh when will this red door open, oh Lindens?
I would like straight answers to following question, just straight simple as the question is simple - How many hours per day do people plan to have VR glasses or goggles or vwhatever, stuck all around their heads ? Straight answers please !!! Se now how VR is just hype and goggles will end up on dusty shelves ???
