After being cancelled last year, "Community" has started its 6th season at its new home, online, on Yahoo Screen. Episode 2 (came out about a week, or so, ago) introduced a new main character as a seller of cheap quality VR equipment, namely knock-off versions of the Oculus Rift and the Cyberith Virtualizer (complete with an OS that is reminiscent of The Lawnmower Man). About half of the episode focuses on the Dean becoming obsessed with virtual reality and refusing to leave it. Several references are made to the VR failure of the 1990s.
While this week's episode (episode 3) did not mention VR, the VR equipment from episode 2 is still visible in the background.
Winger, reading from the manual : "'When entering virtual reality, you should calibrate the system by looking at your own hands, then turning them over, and looking at the backs of them with a sense of wonder.'"
