Who was the demo for this shit?

Is the Zucc a retard?

My company tested i. I wasn't involved, but it It made company wide news for 2 weeks and then everyone forgot.

It's probably too expensive to purchase vr set for employees jhst so they can conference in something that's worse than habbo hotel.
And 3d modeling wasn't the issue - it'd be the advantage in our company.

>you now remember that zucc literally reorg’d and renamed his entire company for this shit

This is just Zucc's personal hobby. He loves VR, and honestly I'm happy for that because he makes dirt cheap headsets.

50 year old middle managers in soulless corporations ate this shit up. My company got some "metaverse strategy" and I have no idea what it means.

VR technoly has been created but beyond shitposting in VR chat and playing beat saber no one has figured out a use for it.
people look to things like cyberpunk but all the things they do in VR is easier/better to do with text or audio and video.
take something like shopping, better to browse a website and click the buy button. could you imagine walking down a virtual aisle and having to open virtual drawer to find a virtual product al to buy some item?
no, of course not, its stupid

This. I love my quest 3.

I'm deleting Facebook and boycotting all meta garbage across all my companies starting tomorrow morning. Meta/Facebook has always been incompetent destructive morons. Fuck was a spoiled rich kid in the right place at the right time and has done nothing since except lose money. Facebook, the flagship product, isn't even fleshed out. Why the fuck can't you look for events near you?

Fuck this.

Facebookt/Meta is going all in on AI, I hope they enjoy AI customers.


Fuck u

>>105898571
They suck though.

The Quest 2 was neat because it was a complete unit. But it's been irrelevant for ages.

Also all my friends can see that I'm jacking off which is lame

Probably the main goal is to force remote workers to maintain constant telepresence and sit in a virtual gray box so they remember they're just stupid peasants.

You literally can't force a metaverse and everyone can tell what they're trying to do, trying to sell digital t-shirts for $20 and $50k virtual beach property all while under a nanny-digital-state dictatorship.

>umm yes sweety corporate executives know what they're doing and they're the only ones who should be trusted with dangerous technology like AI not open source neckbeards or them chinese

Zucc thinks hes anorak from ready player one lol

I remember playing Doom 3 when Lucky Palmer had his demo unit at Quake Con. That was neat, a bunch of hobbyists making a VR head set.

This is the zucc saga

I was seriously working on this exact kind of shit in the mid 2000’s with the second life “craze”. Scumbags vacuuming up investor money with “virtual meeting” products that had no business existing and nobody wanted.

>>105898336
accenture? Yeah I got that "Metaverse is coming and its mandatory!!!!" email kek
this blonde bimbo ceo is retarded

>During the VR craze Microsoft is the dominant platform, so all VR UI becomes peak insular corposlop and VR DEs are forgotten
It's unfortunate.

>Hey everyone, we are live from my backyard, where I am smoking a brisket and some ribs. I make meats now, smoking these meats here, got some meat smoking. It's smoking, so I'm the meat chef. Yeah, so someone asked me "do I smoke meat?" Smoking meat, smoking meat, smoking these meats, smoking meats earlier in the day, smoking these meats; just set the charcoal off and you set the wood chips up. Smoking meats, smoking meats, grilling meats, grilling good smoky flavor. Smoke a brisket for like 12 hours, you smoke lemon chicken, smoked salmon, you'll love it. Bison sirloin. Ribs and sausage, so I'm looking forward to that.

Every single bit of sci-fi written that involves some sort of widely adopted VR world usually establishes a couple of things first
>Inexpensive, standardized access to the same virtual world.
Meta was probably the most proprietary-seeking VR platform, with their Quest having a Facebockulous owned phone strapped to your eyes pretty much, even if it was connected to your PC manually. All that shit was data mining, and they also pushed exclusivity. I'm still rather annoyed that the VR version of Resident Evil 4 (original, non-remake) was Oculus exclusive. Valve was, as usual, pretty much one of the only ones out there making FOSS and standardized specs for both hardware and software, but outside of SteamVR there wasn't really a ubiquitous attempt at a universal , modular virtual universe everyone could connect and make their own stuff.
>Hardware was relatively cheap, comfortable, and immersive
This is a big one. While hardware costs have come down, high performance stuff (or even not that high) is still expensive, requires a heavy visor, etc. I think when we reach the level where a Valve Index or preferably Varjo XR-4 level headset features can be confined in a pair of blocky sunglasses, that will help. The other issue is immersion. The way you interact with the world is usually a pair of joysticks with finger tracking if you're lucky - we don't have full haptic gloves yet that can simulate holding an object etc. Features like eye, face etc. tracking require other upgrades and components - each with their own SDKs and compatibilities so the cost goes up. Motion is a big issue here as at least last I checked, you'll need a fairly comprehensive and expensive set of trackers to get full body mocap. Almost out of room, but my biggest concern is the proprietary nature of it all - the hardware, the firmware, the drivers for said hardware, the software etc.. is often proprietary and not universally interoperable.

investors are their customers
users are byproducts

If I had to guess, hes a spoiled lazy rich delusional asshole. It would be onbrand these days.

Yeah that's a big one, though probably lots of the media featuring VR were inspired by the early internet/web, back when we had standards and protocols rather than proprietary walled gardens. Things like the web, email, newsgroups, IRC, and so on where anyone could make a client and connect to the same shit as everyone else.
Kind of sad how things have degraded. Can we ever live in a world where we have standardized protocols again? Probably not. Not enough opportunity for obscene profits and more complicated to exert full control of users.

We will need to find and unfreeze the corpse (phylactery) of Walt Disney and prepare a sanctified burial, to ensure that copyright and patents as they apply to software are properly killed.
