Does anyone know about oculus of meta it is awesome 😎 I have experienced metaverse

@Myötätuuli etelään feeling dizzinness(travel sickness) while I am doing space walk Feels like doing it in the real world

Same for any “social” media, really. In their promotion they claim to “help you keep in touch with loved ones”, while they’re actually doing the exact opposite: before, you would call your friends and family to know what’s new, but now you have an easy cop-out of just putting a heart emoji on their post and never connecting beyond that. They’re interchanging the meanings of words

Sound to me it's a good way to wash money.

That and it wants to monetise every aspect of existence

Everyone should leave Facebook and just call or text those you care about. Who needed that robot looking Zuckerdemon?

C'mon, the fact that Zuckerberg himself is in the Metaverse should make you feel all warm, fuzzy, and connected.😂

Exactly. Which leads to absolutely insane technical "solutions" like face tracking and photorealistic avatar rendering...just to get close to the quality of a $20 webcam

Not only that. Cisco has these conference rooms where parts of the real tables are extended into screen, which makes it looks great. And it's like 10 years or more old technology. I don't want to watch a Wii avatar from my colleagues. It would rather distract. 😅

Besides the crudeness its dumb to think humans will enjoy looking at a graphical image of a person rather than the real person. Like you say, Zoom is much more functional and reliable to see a real person and communicate openly. Computer generated images can be manipulated to achieve many distasteful scenarios. Mark, retire, now that you ran out of other peoples ideas things are going south quick.... that Like button...

Spending money is what they need

Zuckerberg apparently thinks VR is mainstream currently. He has so much money so he probably forgot that not everyone can afford VR, let alone being interested enough to use it.

Depends on if you like going outside in the first place or even have the means to go anywhere other than around the block lol. For example imagine a Everest vr experience while it wouldn’t the same as real life, it would definitely be a hell of a lot cheaper and far more safe than doing it in real life. I know it wouldn’t be the exact same experience but it’s better than nothing to some people. Tho the whole Metaverse thing is just stupid it just looks like they put mods onto Roblox and called it a social app lol

wouldn't surprise me. I do enjoy seeing the art work of others, and VR is a neat new vessel for seeing it, though unfortunately for meta, vrchat is just better, in every way.

Suckers verse

Nah virtual reality just fucking blows and it’s not as natural as real life is. Unless we had some READYPLAYERONE type of tech things would be different

Not really. Too much human contact is also detrimental to people's mental health. How? Humans by Nature Are Toxic, Egoistic, Narcissistic and more where we humans are like our cousins the bonobos, chimpanzees etc. Altruism or kindness only came a bit through self domestication. There are books and videos on this. Everything needs to be in moderation whether human contact or virtual world where virtual world could be for leisure activities or serious productive stuff as it depends on how 1 uses it where if use it as a waste, it's like anywhere else - all depends on the individual. So, too much of anything including virtual or human is detrimental

Exactly. I was in Facebook "jail" for a good portion of 2020 and 2021. I'm right leaning but not right wing. I'd occasionally post a funny political meme but mostly got banned for funny memes and comments. 2 different female friends were "jailed" for joking they were going to beat me up. Both are 5' tall and barely 100lbs.

and thats the crux of the problem at hand. You can't bring innovative world shattering tech like that when the employees are just there to collect a check and make the boss happy.

why would anyone CHOOSE to work/live/thrive is a dumb ass environ like METa when they can just go visit a friend?

No one does except apparently Zuckerberg.

It’s like Morpheus pushing the red pill without ever taking it himself.

That's what 'cult thinking' is all about: repeating what you don't really believe.😸

Hardly solves any problems. Social Media mostly showed what humans are though too much human contact too also is detrimental to people's mental health. How?

Its not sad, its what they voted for. Fu*k em all

they always were, the real valueable companies like SAP, Volkswagen, Ford, General Electrics, BASF and such are on the other hand undervalued. Microsoft could be crushed in 3years. If one good software company that is valued by other big companies already, and i don't mean Amzon (rediculous) nor Google (data spy) more like Adobe, Intel or such would bring out a real good operating system. SAP would be the best for this, because they are well known for systems that work after 40years straight. Microsoft OffIce would be MacroHard Onfire like the rest of their shitty systems. Iam an IT Administrator and i share tons of unhappy user experiences. In some of the biggest companies. While SAP is more likely to be a financial deal. Macrobug is more likely to be "the only choice"

Not only Meta, entire tech companies will eventually come down to earth.

He will not be the one, because he let his hands get dirty and bloody by allowing his company and his platform to sink into a cesspool of disinformation that may be, in part, responsible for some of the millions of COVID dead, and the dark direction this world is headed.

the problem with the Metaverse is that you still need to eat, defecate and sleep in the real world. Look at Maslow's pyramid. The Metaverse lacks the first level. You cannot build above a missing ground floor.

@@IsMaski 👍

@@ricardokowalski1579 The problem is more like you are in the real world but acting in VR, you need to move your head in the real world for your Avatar to do the same. And you end uo bumping into things in the real world. It will never replace the real world but the experience will be better if for example it uses neuralink to estimate the thought of the player eg movement to the Avatar motion but we are decades away.

Actually, network speed and bandwith is not an issue. In any decent multiplayer video games, no image/3D object related data is exchanged via network, only text based data like player id, skins used, location, and movement. Optimized MMO only use around 100 KB/s, which is nothing for a 4G network The real problem with Meta is no sane man wants to use VR headset 8 hours every day

Agreed. Like I said in another comment, Meta likes to pretend this is a new idea but actually this is a very old idea. It's basically just an avatar chatroom and I've seen something like this way back in 2002. It never really went anywhere because you have nothing to do apart from chat.

@@jeffmccloud905 and... what will humanity need those VR/AR "worlds" for, practically speaking? For better understanding, check out the GPT3 AI. Such a tech wonder! It can talk like a human, it can discuss wide range of topics, it can draw beautifull pictures, but... it's still mostly useless software that really hard to monetize. The same problem is here. Meta tries to build a virtual world and fullfill it with virtual life, but ignores the fact that it doesn't solve any of real life problems. It's still mostly about entertainment. And, quite average. I see Meta struggle, looking for reasons for Metaverse to exist and to spend billions on it, but as they fail to do so, it becomes clear they intend to take our reality away and put us in a fake one where they will have full overall control of everything we interact with. Imagine a digital Zoo for humans spieces that are hopelessly emotionally and physically unfit for our tough world and can only survive in a soft virtual version of it. That's we in our future Metaverse. The deep and dark Zuck's motive is a control. And primitive 'God' complex. He almost doesn't care about the money as long as he thinks he can achieve his goal.

@@jeffmccloud905 I'm kinda sofware developer myself, but what does it matter what we know about writing programs when we discuss selling programs? The quiestions are simple: (1) how can Metaverse sell itself to the masses? (2) Why would people need this product in their life? (3) What real problems does it solve? From my personal painfull experience I've learned that some things people engineer and create (sucrificing years of life) are just NOT meant to survive on the Market. It's very sad to see the denial behind effort and wasted years when people don't understand the basic reasons why Market rejects their project. And we both can agree the Market is against Metaverse idea rn and... Zuck is in denial, don't we? But, does he understand the reasons? Imo, Metaverse can exist mostly as an entertainment environment with new type of gaming and social experience. Not the best or worse, just different one. It may include some usefull features and tools for office work, but those will be less practical and effective than the conventional ones bcz If Metaverse is desinged for maximum emotional immersion it may be less practial for work If we compare headset to a monitor. It looks lke the very idea of Metaverse is flawed. I suppouse Mark's concept based on sci-fy books and movies (like Matrix) and he wants to make EVERYTHING virtual, but what's the point? His point is obvious - make money selling virtual stuff, but why will we need his virtual stuff? People love to escape reality sometimes, but they also want to come back to it. People with sober mind will always question practical value of virtual things they suppoused to pay for. Will Zack succeed selling them some digital emptiness? I think Zack's Metaverse is too inclusive and therefore pointless. That's why the Market rejects it.

Fu*k em this is what they voted for. They'll be alright

why?

AR is really going to be the future. And he just want to grab the largest piece of the pie before everyone else jumps in to make some money off of it. He wants to be Apple but for AR VR tech.

@@MrMiyagi005 I think so too. But that was a part of my point, at least in the context of Meta; he got the direction right, but possibly the timing wrong. Hence the aforementioned saying in the investment world.

Such an insightful comment! Yes! Being ahead is good but when you are way ahead of everyone you’ll be the rat to test out everything, surely who ever gets to build the virtual world AR/VR will get back to Meta’s trails and errors. Being a head too much might be the same as being late.

Its not that he is ahead. He is going down a path we dont want to go. Did You know the BOOK "Ready Player One" is from 1987? People have seen this route for decades. This is nothing new. VR worlds have been discussed for a long time, yet the uncanny nature of the experience forces us to disassociate.

More or less, Mark is behind, and attemptig to innovate something already done. Nothing new. With the knowledge that our data is being sold, the meta experience is nothing more than you becoming a focal point to an agolrythyms creation. Meta failed HARD

Years ago, those glasses for 3D TV were already too uncomfortable for most people, imagine how they react to a VR headset. And second, this is Meta (facebook) so the headset records all your conversations and the cameras on the headset film the interior of your home.

Spending billions for a product that already looks dated with graphics from like 20 years ago is not a good sell.

I only use that comparison because it was the first thing I thought of when I saw Meta's poor graphics. It literally seems like it was designed by an AI with no awareness of how humans work/what they like and Mark just went with it because he isn't actually a tech guy at all. He's a businessman that stole his ideas. It's such a strange thing seeing both him and Elon crashing and burning at the same time. It's like they're competing to see who can reach the bottom first.

@@mish375 You've made some good points. The graphics are terrible. When Zuckerberg unveiled this 'Metaverse' about a year or so ago and showed examples of what it might look like I thought it was embarrassingly awful.
