The "Metaverse"

[Rilot]

Whenever I see the word 'Metaverse' my brain always reads it 'Meatverse' for some reason.
I could get behind a meatverse TBH. Nice steaks and a roast chicken. Nice.

Your brain defined the meatverse differently to mine.

Just LOL if your job is to tell your investors the bad news while you continue pumping out money on a thing no one cares about and your sugardaddy, Facebook, is turning into Gen Z's version of myspace.

e: noobs.

Last time I used VR to play a rally game I wanted to hurl after 2 minutes. Looked great though

I hear Zuckerberg slept with a pangolin to lock everyone indoors and push his virtual world. Sounded legit.

that's because u need to ease into VR, your brain needs to be trained because your not moving, but your brain thinks you are

I could hide and come out and crack a bat over you knee..I wont tell you when if you want to replicate that risk?

Much risk. But no reward in that one!

no - metaverse's sibling is the more appealing multiverse concept

good bbc programme last week on metaverse - guy described (actual) friday evenings going out drinking / clubbing with his mates in the metaverse

Plus the risk your home / office interior is scanned and uploaded by the goggles (and stored on some server) - hacker crime risk like already occurs with cctv cameras. I forsee insurance premium rises.

Someone could do that already with a phone.

Honestly when Facebook brought out Oculus it always felt inevitable that they would damage the tech they were trying to promote it was just a question of when.

Amazon bought the robot hoover company for this exact reason (IMO). It scans your house and then recommends stuff you need to buy based on how it'd fit into your home environment.

Linus did a demo in a recent Short Circuit look at the Meta Quest Pro. It looked bloody awful.

i honestly don't see the appeal.
It just seems like another 3D cinema/tv gimmick - people will get bored of it when the novelty wears off.
Like VR games - its a niche, and the majority of people have no interest in them.

Yeah 3d TV was crap for a similar reason, you get a friend or somebody who comes around for the evening - yet you both can't watch a 3D movie as there's only one set of glasses.. (who wants to keep a spare pair for others to wear.... it's just not practical)

In reality, nobody really wants to sit watching TV with a pair of 3d glasses on, bottom line....

But wirh vr you just need a headset and a Internet connection, not a TV and glasses etc

I was able to try VR gaming recently and was well impressed with the technology, with the right content and equipment VR is an amazing experience. But Metaverse, hmm, I am not sure if this is what people want.

What did they spend $15bn on?
