It's really weird how excited they are that people are "thousands of miles away from each other" like college juniors in 1995 getting their first internet account.
i think that's hard to appreciate if you're basing this just on talking over zoom, because it's not really the same. you actually feel like you're in the same room as them, which even years later still feels kind of neat at times.
Some people think it's revolutionary technology while others think it's terrifying. I think nothing will change
It's like both the wonders of the internet and gaming all over again. The ability to be hanging out in the same room when you bodies are really in different states and countries as just so mind bending.
Social interaction over the internet is now possible. I mean we had communication, and interacting, but it is different then being there.
@@abram730 yeah it's already mindbending, although also feels natural to me by now, we take part in events that are beyond what we could ever do IRL, and the memories we have with our friends there are the same as those in physical space, in important ways. with people i know before VR, i have a hard time remember which conversations we had in our apartment and which have been in virtual rooms, hanging out watching movies, because it's easy to forget one isn't the other.
Watching "big tech" try and recreate what is essentially an MMORPG for workspaces is pretty amusing
now this will make working fun.
11:19 "relatively affordable" is the last thing you could call Apple's consumer products...
yeah, theyre like the most expensive consumer tech you can get
Key word is relatively. If they weren’t affordable they’d be pretty rare but Apple products are everywhere.
Apple's reputation for relatively affordable consumer products. Yeah, right. Very objective observation, kudos Bloomberg.
I mean, relative to a 350-foot long superyacht, most Apple products are downright affordable.
“Affordable” is subjective an all-in-one iPhone that has thousands of uses at $1000 is considered affordable for some.
Commercial ar/vr equipment might cost, Millions of dollars in software and hardware to deploy, whereas even a 5k per device from apple or other mainstream consumer-based company, would be way more affordable. So think before you say something controversial that doesn’t hold water.
This video is mostly directed to corporate or businesses looking to use the metaverse, so being “affordable” make sense to these companies, Not You.
huawei，i think
Apples entry level PC's really are competitively priced though. My base model Macbook was cheaper than any equivalent PC with aluminum chassis
I sure am happy I'm now retired
I don’t even want to turn on my camera in zoom. The metaverse feels unnecessary.
Um most VR offerings do not access your camera.
If Rockstar jumped into the movement of building the Metaverse, oh boy, shit would get REALLY interesting.
Something makes me think that they are…
Rockstar is a game company... nothing more. It wouldn't get anymore interesting.
Inconvenience of wearing that VR headset and exposure to such bright and close screen are the main problems.
Dont know how people see future at home with a VR.
The screen are literally close yes, but because of lenses you actually have to focus your eyes a couple of meters in front of you in current headsets.
So, just regarding the health concerns you raise here...
It's plenty reasonable and intuitive to expect the proximity of the screen to be a health problem, but it's actually the reverse, due to how the lenses work. Using VR is actually significantly healthier for your eyes, compared to using a fixed monitor or phone screen. The focal depth for a phone is typically barely over 30cm, often even less. For a monitor it's roughly 60 to 80cm at most. When using VR however, the focal depth that your eyes rest at is roughly 3.5 to 4.5 meters, which is a far more natural state for your eyes.
Likewise, use of peripheral vision and exercising the muscles involved also increases when using VR compared to monitors or phones/tablets, where your vision stays rigidly locked forward to a tiny field of view for hours on end. As for the intensity of light, even the best and brightest displays available in VR pale in comparison to the light intensity from common daylight. Viewing even a pure white max brightness scene in VR will still cause your pupils to contract less than an average summers day, and comes without any of the UV. The display can be dimmed by the user if desired. There's absolutely zero hazard in regards to light levels.
Lack of brightness is an issue, and the screen is 10 to 15 feet away due to the optics.
Yeah those screens so close to my eyes really f@&k me up. It’s not comfortable or natural to have a screen refreshing constantly that close to your eyes.
Right now, I see the main motivation for building the metaverse as creating new marketplaces to generate more revenue (for meta, MS, etc.) by tapping into some of the money spent in the metaverse (e.g., avatar customization, virtual home).
So, one of the first steps to achieve that end goal is to create an artificial need for the metaverse, so that people/companies (customers) feel the need to join. This video is part of that.
Artificial is the word! Because who really needs this? This isn't the main function of meetings. They want offices to fit them instead of them fitting into offices.
@@bethromelus6172 maybe the cost and effectiveness？im not sure
VR is one of the rare gem that is worse in marketing but the greatest mordern device that has been on market yet. They just need to sell the device everywhere. The reason people said is bad is because they never tried it and being clueless
Old people learn what MMOs are.
Zuck makes a video about Facebook Second Life to make people forget about the Facebook whistleblower scandal.
Old corporate boomers:
“OMG YALL WE NEED TO GET ON DUH METAVERSE”
working from metaverse is just like working from home with a headset instead of a laptop .. it doesnt mean you have to not go out for a week ... thats not a realistic fair take
i didnt see much work getting done.
Exactly.
"Apple's reputation for relatively affordable consumer products" do we live in the same universe? Apple's a premium brand
Yeah, premium with most selling device. That is how premium works
expensive doesnt mean premium . you just gullible
You can doubt and I have my own, but the simple fact that the oculus quest outsold the xbox this year is proof that there's a place for this in the future and people who think this is weird will find themselves being the weird ones in the future.
Totally not sponsored video
it is interesting that whoever has the most never has enough
they had a lot because of greed to begin with, and greed never stops wanting more.
If you combine the fact that wearing VR glasses is not for everyone + that this does not add anything (actually is less effective as you don’t see people’s real faces) then it will be a gimmick/luxury for a company to look « cool » but it won’t add anything to productivity nor boost EBITDA. people like people, not avatars.
We have said that about almost any other technology as well.
People are making these predictions assuming that this is the final form of the tech. Its not. There is a lot more work to be done in this space but 10-20 years it will look completely different.
then why you call your friends or anyone..people like people not only their voice so throw your mobile away and go to people homes whomsoever you want to talk
i wonder how dating's gonna look like in this stuff and scamming might become really prevalent in it.
it will if it means you dont need to buy any external displays in the office. This reduces space hence floor rent
I feel sick already only thinkin wearing this VR gear. I pass it.
What do you think about wearing AR glasses?
@@donttryitjohn364 closer
It’s obvious this is the future (VR and AR) but it’s also clear we’re still far far away.
It’s gonna be interesting to see how it plays out.
Nobody is buying into it
VR right now is great.
Yeah ok. The average worker is not going to be getting $200k a year to be an avatar in a fantasy world. The rich and borderline rich will work here and be children, while some of us are tasked with guarding, cleaning, maintaining, repairing, and administrating their server rooms and live-in facilities.
I know. These wealthy company executives think most of the population lives like them 😂😂
Not to mention that governments can't even get people to wear facemasks without massive resistance, there is no way corporations will get those same people to strap heavy expensive goggles to their eyes 7 hours a day 5 days a week.
They asked ivy league business students what they thought the median income was. They were guessing in the six figures. There are people in VR who can do a tumbling run. Their room for VR is like school gym sized, like a room the length of a starter house. Some have close or ten thousand in VR gear and gaming PC.
Robots will be doing those jobs by then.
Facebook is screwed.
wow im loving this.
In response to the video title... No it's not
Will it have any effect on eyesight long term
There is a reason I prefer text's over a call, I hate that kind of social interaction which is common for GenZ
Then you will not like it as it is like being in person. If people get too close it's like in reality with the feeling of back up and get out of my space. Lots of millennials, but huge numbers of GenZ. GenX are very few in there.
Is it just me or are the main headline grabbing “tech trends” of our time being XR + Web3, are both incredibly flawed propositions. Looking forward to the next trend that actually has promise…
What isn’t an outright grift is an absurd delusion.
For the record, I’m a 39-year old professional I.T. consultant and cloud services engineer, so that opinion is neither uninformed or the result of my being out of touch. If anything I am a fierce proponent of technology and innovation. But the hype around this is blinded by its own naive ambition, largely informed by Silicon Valley wonks with little experience or appreciation for the day to day lives of the majority of people, and/or cryptocurrency speculators with even less objectivity or integrity.
@@silverXnoise Yup, they're just inventing a new mechanism to monetize and pocket your personal data.
@@silverXnoise they’re creating a solution to a problem no one had to get a quick buck
This would practical if you can do this thing like play -to-Earn, selling and trading etc. all of this will be provide once Your Earth DAO finally releases.
It will help working a lot.
Second Life IRL lmao.
yeah, its always exciting at the start until it isn't anymore. the simple fact is humans need humans for a balanced life. virtual stuffs can and would never replicate a human interaction experience.
I would rather be on a real boat :)
if people decide to stay at home, why would they want to meet anyone other than work stuffs?
It’s a solution for employee control. No slacking off.
"THIS IS THE FUTURE OF WORK"
*procedes to demo VR Runescape*
"Presented by Cisco"?? (Top-left corner at Intro)
No shot
literally 1984
This reminds me about how 3D TVs were 'set' to take over in the early 2000s. Or how Facebook pushed all these content creators to shift to video about a decade ago, leading to a massive collapse in the industry. It's not going to take off. It's just not practical and most people don't want it.
I found every devices gimmick at best but VR is something else and is finally something as useful as a pc instead of something useless design to get your money
Have you tried a Quest 2 dude, i said the same thing but shut tf up when my friend let me use his. This will be revolutionary for education, learning physics by working with Newton and Einstein through the scientific process will be lit
@@0x0michael Yeah, same. Amazing to see what you get for the price in terms of hardware.
this is useful for leisure, entertainment and perhaps education. but am not sure if it can be productive to keep an economy running. the basic and everyday fundamentals like grocery, logistics, housing etc requires a physical presence to some degree.
Regarding people that can't grasp this time we live in...think about the very first video games as the tech was being built out and experimented with, namely simple games like PONG. Then look at the advancements in gaming now, it's almost an entirely different dimension.
Web3, blockchain, crypto, the Metaverse, this is where we are right now in that progression as the tech is being built out and created; just because it seems simple now does not dictate the future of its success and those that dismiss it by default are going to be like those naysayers when the internet emerged, i.e. those narrow views did not end well whatsoever.
Stop trying to make the metaverse happen.
The internet has happened, the metaverse is vague but if they mean VR online applications that's already happening
Shut up. Innovation is inevitable.
@@naharulhayat Like 3D TVs, some innovations are useless.
Work / Life balance working from Disney World? That’s insane. No one in their right mind would think an expensive trip to Disney would include work in any form. I would NEVER work from there. That’s not work life balance. That’s working all the time when you definitely shouldn’t.
Theres a long way to go with the meterverse .
Buying the dip.
2:05 They look so adorable just sitting there, talking, especially the ragdoll bunny in the robot.
Unfortunately, I can already tell the metaverse isn't for me. I get motion sickness too easily 🤢
Hoping the optics evolve faster to avoid that happen
what game was he playing i want to play it. any ideas?
VRChat I think (You do not need a VR Headset to use it either.)
I think it will make virtual meetings more fun, but it won't create the sense of being present. Just like that one guy said. I've tried hard to test out and innovate things to make Zoom calls have the presence, but nothing works. And it has lead me to analyze what being present with others in real life really is all about. You can't replicate that, at least not with our current technology.
Also I predict there will be a backlash. Already now there are for sure great uses for virtual meetings, but being an adult educator, it seems most people prefer to physically come to class, and love being with others IRL. Like said, it just isn't the same thing. (Education has evolved past lecturing a long time ago.)
Have you tried it out. You do feel in the same space. They just haven't added face tracking yet so in person communication isn't fully there. Full body tracking definitely adds to it, but that is only currently available on much more expensive headsets.
Vr is normal for me know I used it to much
Since no one seems willing to state the obvious, the meta verse is Nintendo Wii and Sims 😆😂. So that's who this will appeal to.
i like photo-realism. so unless the metaverse is photorealistic and/or has a simulated economy using USD, i won't be using it.
Coily Queen. I love The Sims and Wii games and still hate how the Metaverse will be.
I think the only problem is wearing the glasses gives you a headache. There has to be a better way. I had the vr head set. I loved it but it hurt over time. If they fix that it would be great.
If the IPD is off you get a head ache. Also VR video will do that as that IPD is whatever it was filmed at.
Meta paid me a morbillion dollars to day I like metaverse.
A yes old people discover games. "People are working together while on entirely different corners of the world." Thats what MMOs have been doing for so long xD. Haha yes very new. "Haha" driving virtual boat funny. That's literally playing video games.
The nowhere thing is the only decent idea in this video
is it the zilliqa metapolis?
So much $$$ in this. I'm surprised WS isn't fully invested.
So the metaverse is being forced on us by ppl making 6 figures who are tired of taking redeye flights back home.
if it's not for you just bounce. for there's always a bunch of people out there that like stuffs you dislike and willing to do the stuff you don't
Amazing, well edited video. Very well done
Vr nice, why not make it pop at you why not make incredible 2d around the vr lenses.
8:00 Kudos to BLOOMBERG..😂😂
I love my meta quest
Not us being the only ones wanting to show our pretty faces 😼
Can you imagine the toxic workplace grievances in some on these spaces? lul
Have you guys also considered buying lands in the Metaverse? Thought you guys would like to start buying lands in Virtua Metaverse. The land sale for their Monster Zone has already started and 50% of large monster zone plots were sold!
why they always pick the roblox worlds to show off on these vr videos and act completely amazed "wow in future going to be so greatness" and theres already great vr titles lol
The problem with videos with rosy outlooks like this is that it's really hard to convince someone that hasn't tried VR that "presence" is a well-defined idea and that VR recreates it well. A 2D image of an avatar with a fantastical backdrop does nothing for someone who's never strapped on a modern VR headset, and they simply won't believe you when you say it enables something special and useful.
this video did not age well.
In 2024 Meta is running very, very desperate ads: "we found a use case for the metaverse!" and then none of the examples actually make a sense.
Desktop versions of meeting places will go a long way.
*Kinect vietnam flashbacks*
There no feel 😌
Playstation Home came and went too early…
Don't get too eciterd I had mine for a year an 3 days ago it won't even log me in, I been locked out, so if they don't fix it I have to buy another one or wipe everything out an start my collection all over again.....🤬 I luv my Quest 2 but when Facebook had that security breech an nothing worked, like Instagram, quest met the same fate an the games were restored almost a week later .
The metaverse does not recreate human non verbal interaction, until it does (if it can) it is a waste of time despite what the spruikers say.
Metaverse are great ! Aside from trading and staking that I've done in the past years .I want to try buying land and creating NFTs that make a passage income as of now, I'm looking forward of the upcoming launch of Your Earth DAO.
Please stop
the cringe in this whole idea is in unbelievable levels XD
Wow this is cool man! I believe that Metaverse is a revolutionary technology that can even make our world better. That’s why as early as now, I’ve decided to invest in Metaversus a hyper realistic virtual gaming that will not only give you entertainment but as well as connect you with those people close around you.
It's basically just an MMORPG....
garbage belongs in the trash
The dude who doesn't like to take flights for 30 minute meetings is completely out of touch with what the vast majority of people actually experience work as-, and have no idea what comprises the majority of their target market (ie the Facebook target market)
No, I don't want it. Ima check out and go live in the boondocks.
Im lockup not chumky 😑
Unclear for pigeon?
Nope
The like/dislike ratio is 55% for dislike
Yeah sure, this has a future, but i will not wear a VR device for the sake of this experience..
Facebook is building another MMO 😭
why not just play Second Life??
[x] doubt
People will go lazy when it will occur and will make theme soo unhealthy.
It can causes so much diseases like Like diabetes, kidney failure, heart attack Etc etc.
only the lack of sleep, walk and run exercise every things. Also like sun light
i hope not
You'll get tired of it like in the movies if it's more than 2 hours. It wil fail.
LOL. No, it's not. Metaverse will be a bigger fail than "Facebook for Work". Mark is just losing his mind. Sheryl, his mother, probably told him no for the first time in his life, and he couldn't handle it. So he fires her, and doubles down on Meta.
Hard to say, boomers hated the internet when it came out, then next few generations used it. I say this one is for our grandkids as they are the ones more into virtual reality growing up
@@aiel1740 It's ok but somethings fail, not everything is Internet. There are many things that failed
@@RamaChetan And VR & Metaverse hasn't failed yet, so I don't get the hate for it
@@aiel1740 I mean it’s there in the market for almost what 10 years? It hasn’t picked up the pace like a successful thing would do
@@RamaChetan Microsoft didn't fully took off till 30 years after founding. Lots of these tech are too early, mass adoptions takes time
Great video. Like/Dislike ratio is 282/384. I can only guess the older generation following Bloomberg is the reason for this huge dislike ratio. Reading the comments with the sentences this is a gimmick, AR doesn't fit everyone, this will be the biggest fail, all enforce that view. VR/AR is the next step in technology like the combustion engine, computer and smart phone was before it.
It's for the sheep....and there's alot of them
So, the future of work is simply an average workday in a gaming type environment? I expected way much more than just this.
You won’t fully get it until it gets here. But if ur in a science job u cld simulate things in 3D space and work with people on problems and design together
then create one-...no one stop you
Metaverse will be bad for business. It will be horrible for the environment, for our next-generation, but most of all our lives. Just stick with reality
moving to the metaverse just to increase inefficiency? the stupidity of the metaverse concept is baffling.
I find it amusing and maddening at the same time that after all the suffering the world went through with the pandemic and now waiting for a massive recession to hit, that these people are still pushing for even more social isolation, more avatars, less human contact. I don`t believe all these artificial endeavors (like this video) will succeed in making meta a thing. At least this is my greatest hope.
This is so cool
So, Second Life except with worse graphics…
Depends which platform you go to. Though all the corporate stuff, definitely.
Awful on so many levels.
Vr seems like a gimmick
