No, it’s just me pontificating about our instinctive spatial relationships with abstract concepts

When I started getting into VR design around 2014 I was worried about being too late to the party and missing the boat. You may feel that way now as another hype wave of "metaverse" passes. But it's become pretty clear to me that there have been plenty of these waves, there were several before I got involved, and the stuff that still needs to be done will take more than a career's worth of time. Regarding how to learn, right now you'll be fine to start with Figma, Unity, and maybe Blender. Every time you don't know something, Google it. That's what we all do.

It’s just me.

@@MikeAlger Awesome! Wow, that's rare. Where do you work? For yourself or a big company and you do this in your spare time, this must have taken a while to do!

Yeah, it took several months mostly on evenings and weekends, but I took some vacation days to work on it, too. Right now I work... 🤔 well... 👈👆👇👉 here! at KZfaq.

KZfaq comment response Heh heh, ho boy is there. There’s several social VR apps and, yes, I see people regularly using them as a way to drink (or smoke) with each other. No designated driver, just take the headset off when you’re done and you’re already home. The reason for the chuckle is the visual quality can be lackluster and there’s an array of subcultures that congregate in VR for one reason or another but many of them are niche and potentially surprising if you’re not expecting it. Unfortunately, like the internet, academia hasn’t really been able to keep up with the plethora of bizarre emergent behaviors. I’ve seen lots of high school kids just trying to figure out how to be social and succeeding/failing, digital artists sharing imaginative worlds and avatars, trolls using anonymity to be abusive, deaf folks using it as a way to connect and sign but also write words in the air, furries and transgender people feeling more comfortable wearing their representative avatars, dancers with full body tracking doing sessions together, and a statistically significant number of guys who would traditionally identify as heterosexual developing intimate relationships with each other because their avatars are both anime girls. Like the rest of digital culture, it’s super anthropologically interesting but you also run into the personal “that’s enough internet for today” threshold. Some currently active social VR apps include VR Chat, Rec Room, AltSpace, and Facebook Horizon. Other social experiences that are more content-focused are Museum of Other Realities, Big Screen, The Under Presents, and The Wave. Check them out and let me know if you want me to show you around.

I made it with Cinema 4D, so there’s not really a separate original source per se, but I did put any publicly available assets I used in the references.

The 2D motion graphics are done in After Effects and the 3D is done with Cinema 4D, rendered with Octane to make it look a little nicer. Those plus the footage were edited together with Premiere.

@@MikeAlger Thank you! Keep up the great work!

It’s in the mail.

he should make use of that "interview angle" for people who are filmed talking to another person at a 3/4s view. It may even add an air of legitimacy to his points (not that he needs it)

It’s honestly just a bunch of default Unity Cubes and then using scale to get different shapes. Every once in a while I’d go to Sketchfab to get a prop like a plant.
