Lets be honest.... the real reason beat saber is successful is because the venn diagram between people who adopt VR and want to own a real lightsaber is basically a circle.
John Carmack should be who we send to greet the aliens when they arrive. They'll just be like "oh SHIT, whaddap John, haven't seen you in 12 parsecs..."
Are you sure the aliens would not be like "OH SHIT! HE HAS A SHOTGUN!!!"?
Wow, John Carmack is in really good shape!
Moments I can remember that brought the masses to the internet was AOL, then mp3s & CD Burners, then it was smart phones. I remember people making fun of me for using the internet and having an email address in the mid 90s. I see people making fun of VR users in the same way now.
Yeah nah.
I still have and USE, as my main, my email from 1997. Hotmail.
The biggest hurdle to the success of the Metaverse is the fact that it is Meta.
Metaverse isn't Meta. Zuck did a good job appropriating the term. He might as well have changed his company's name to "Internet".
The best Oculus VR app that I've used so far is Brink Traveler. The coolest, and most useful thing the metaverse can do is take you to scenic destinations, but they're not focusing on that. They're focusing on stupid cartoon graphics.
I would think part of that is simple logistics. If you want to show a scenic destination you need to send someone there and set everything up and take a bunch of high res pictures or video. Its a whole production. The cartoon stuff can be made without having to leave the office or hire anyone extra.
@@KillerLettuce yeah they can do that with the BILLIONS of dollars they’re spending on the metaverse. If a small company can do it, then Zuck can do it too.
@@djp1234 Im not talking about finances. They can fund it and could do it if a hundred times over, but it still takes time and effort to plan these types of projects. Money can't speed up time.
@@KillerLettuce it takes 1 day to photograph the area and 3D scan objects, and maybe a few weeks to stitch it all together in software. Easily doable with BILLIONS of dollars and a large team working on it. It’s not that time consuming.
Imagine if your browser and every web page was just a VR room
Carmack is up there with Ben Franklin and Jesus in my book
"Workrooms" is quite cool and I was thrilled to experience meetings in an immersive environment. This technology may become available for the mass soon...
Thank you for this insightful clip!
There are very few engineers at Meta who take risks to try new ideas. Most of the employees are just farming promos and managers are doing empire building.
I'm all in if Nintendo wants to build Metaverse. But Facebook? Nah. No way.
Someone gotta build it and Facebook is like the first social platform who else besides them will know how to connect ppl like Facebook?
The biggest hurdle to the success of the Metaverse is the fact that it _sucks._
Metaverse is like the Matrix if the Matrix _sucked._
It's like a computer game. A really, really bad computer game.
Second-life?
A bit like modem internett. It also sucks. The internett is a fad!
It takes 3 things in order to work: DNA.
Device
Network
Apps
At this point, I think the main issue is Device.
O kadar kişinin datasini nasıl toplayacaksiniz yarısı yok?
Apple will bring the popularity of VR and the metaverse soon.
lets be real that shit is gonna be like a scuffed vr chat
Bbs's brought them into the online world first. I ran PiperBBS a Excalibur windows based BBS with 10s of Thousands of members ONLINE via PPP and phone nodes
I started with a dos based local bbs with a 386 then by 1994 it was huge and windows
How many people are going to use the meta verse ?
Don't know but currently basically nobody. And yet metaverse "assets" are worth untold billions of dollars at this point.
I have a private island in VR
One fact remains, and is prohibitive to entry for some people, and that is for the metaverse to truly take off people need an internet ID system that has to confidently identify a user, associate wallets in a consolidated manner and still give them the same options of anonimity in real life as they are used to. And it can't happen whilst there is a concerted effort to throw negative connotations on blockchain and NFT based products.
Art immitates life - In fallout three Dr Braun hooked up the people that sought shelter in a fallout vault to a virtual reality where he would play out his sick fantasys on them including murdering them . Another reason I hate meta it's dystopian and will be abused .
Yeah personally I have zero interest in it. The high level concept is the stuff of dreams but at the moment it serves very little purpose.
Basically Second Life with a headset okay then..
Do you think the meta verse is going to be a good or bad thing ?
Depends. I suspect if one is an idealist, socialist/Marxist kind of person.... it will be heaven realized.
Once thier glasses are released and a store created
What is the bottleneck from Zoom to VR meetings? How about costs? 1500 per headset? How about just $16 subscription every month on Zoom.
what made the web take off? I don t agree it was a slow process, it was simple, AOL and yahoo started to sell very cheap computers, but you had to take a 2 years internet membership. same happened with cell phones. Do the same with VR and voila....
Everdome/Metahero are the best thing in the metaverse I've seen so far, everything else is cool, but Everdome is the only one where you will be able to travel the stars and actually be immersed in it
Fun is going to the gym with your friends, not putting two small screens right in front of eyes and do something alone. Michael should get out more
by canceling it.
@@Gallowglass7 I doubt meta is fate.
The future isn't VR, it is AR
Metaverse! Whatever!!!
Eh.. cart before the horse? Not that a Metaverse will take off in any real form - our needs can all be provided (and in a more tangible sense) by the world around us.
Humans still have enough emotional regulation issues to contend with in the real world - escaping to the META isn't gonna help them reach their potential. I like me some Doom, sure, but I need to check out after an hour or two and go for a walk :P
Vr chat
Brilliant; Our acceptance of VR experiential shortcomings has a direct correlation to how awful you real life experience is.
If this was a radio show, this isn't how I would have imagined that this guy looks. He speaks like a total nerd (in the good sense) but looks like a completely normal dude. I bet my life that his wife does the styling lol.
Leafs are a not good at hockey
Here lies the issue of why VR hasnt taken off yet as it should👉👉👉🛑 Here you have even Carmack talking about Beat Saber WHICH FKN SUCKS!!!! yet these VR developers keep trying to sell Headsets based off these type of Games.......Beat Saber sucks and is a put down quick game...... These dudes didnt even understand that ... What ppl want to experience in VR is the CLASSIC GAMES THEY LOVE👈👈👈👈👈 its that simple
Remakes from the Modding community is whats saving VR right now. .
Just wanted to come in here and yah know, once more say - Fkn just don’t. Thank you.
FB does not own The Metaverse as a concept, though it certainly is spending big in attempts to convince us that it does. Both irritating and pathetic, as well deeply problematic in principle.
We will once again become a slave to Apple products
I always cringe when Lex asks his pre-prepped questions. They come across as so inorganic and as if he is not listening to the person being interviewed.
“Reality is the only thing that’s real.”
accidentally early lol
I think the focus on low end VR is a mistake, first impression’s matter and by producing cheaper standalone headsets Meta is providing a low quality experience which risks pushing people away for years.
Depends on who is experiencing it... if you're a hardcore gamer, yeah it kinda sucks visually But for the average person, seeing simple 3D stereoscopic environments is quite amazing for that price tag.
@@FranciscoArturoMarshall that’s true, but it’s it more likely that early adopters would be more engaged with tech and therefore have higher expectations? I know my initial reaction to VR was disappointment with the quality of the visuals, if I’d seen that before I had purchased the headset I’m not sure that I would have bought it in the first place.
He likes mindcraft, fortnight and thinks its ok to release a new call of duty every year, yea thats enough for me not to like him
Basically he's anti-reddit?
@@mistakenmeme dono dont use reddit
