OMFG I have seen these pictures all day and just thought it was some new meme from one of those weird Chinese youtube videos made to abuse the algorithms...
It's just sunk in what this is and I can't stop laughing, I keep going from a giggling fit to strait up belly laughter like an insane person, jesus christ this makes my day.
Edit: I am crying right now, this is too fucking funny, how the hell am I supposed to get to sleep? My belly hurts from all the laughing jesus.
Really? FFS this is Meta. The money is being spent on shitty AI designed to mine data and feed the users shitty ads. And on trying to sell this concept to firms that want to feed ads to people.it really makes you wonder what those billions were actually being spent on...
The whole budget isn't merely for Horizon Worlds. All those billions are investments in VR/AR tech, from software to hardware. Meta is targetting 5-10 years from now and is doing research all by themselves to find the most viable road.it really makes you wonder what those billions were actually being spent on...
It's intended for when you can't do them IRL, when things such as distance, pandemics, etc.I don't see what the appeal to the general consumer is supposed to be tbh... What are people supposed to do in there that would justify spending time with something strapped on their head? IMO people will rather spend time doing things in real life.
It's worse.And the result is Xbox 360 Avatar quality visuals.
is that a bad case of sunblock on the face or mime makeup?
Agreed, nkarafo-sama. The taint of western gaijin hubris is all over this. The moe factor is sorely lacking.Just as souless and ugly as a real mainstream product for normies should be.
I thought metaverse is something like this:
Lol, he’s gotta be doing this on purpose, knowing the camera is on him for some people to be making gifs and memes about this.Meh it's better for them to focus on the underlying stuff (like getting animations of head movements, gesticulations to look right) before they get too bogged down with the graphics anyway. People just don't like Zuckerberg because he sips his water too slowly for their liking.

It's a misunderstood term and concept. Metaverses aren't a waste of time, but they aren't going to be made by big corporations, and they need to start with compelling content. It's the same as the Internet itself; the protocols existed for a long time, as did the hardware, but it wasn't until people started building websites people wanted to go to.Metaverse is such a catastrophically dumb waste of time and resources but these idiots keep pouring billions of dollars into this shit like it’s the second coming of Christ.
Zoom doesn't have presence, though. It's just a video call. With VR/AR it's like teleporting to the other side of the world.Zoom works better, it's trying to create a solution for a problem that just isn't there.
can someone explain to me what this is
is it literally supposed to be like ready player one?

This is just an small example of what you can't do in Zoom:
What the hell is happening ?!
I should've clarified I'm looking beyond Meta's "Metaverse". I'm just happy they're trying to get things moving but I know they won't be the first nor last until we get the real thing.That was a training/practice application using VR/AR, which is a completely different proposition than what Facebook is trying to sell with the metaverse... and you know it.
When Microsoft bought Activision Blizzardfor almost $70 billion last month, the tech giant’s CEO Satya Nadella was quick to bring up the metaverse in his comments. “In gaming, we see the metaverse as a collection of communities and individual identities anchored in strong content franchises accessible on every device,” Nadella said. The company also noted the deal would “provide building blocks for the metaverse” in its statement.
Mr. Burns, is that you?
He's not sipping, that's how he breaths.Meh it's better for them to focus on the underlying stuff (like getting animations of head movements, gesticulations to look right) before they get too bogged down with the graphics anyway. People just don't like Zuckerberg because he sips his water too slowly for their liking.
The internet looked like shit when it was new-ish. Remember Geocities?
The day we all stop looking down at our mobile phones can't come soon enough. Our neck and back will thank us.
Cocaine and hookers my friend.it really makes you wonder what those billions were actually being spent on...

Wtf is that!? Seriously

We don't. But nobody else seems to care enough to get things going. In a way we need them to drive interest so better things can come tomorrow.Yes, and why do we need Facebook for this?
Is Habbo Hotel a metaverse?
lol, looks about as good as what we had in 1996.
Remember when self driving cars were the future and Uber was going to do them and put everyone out of a job?Metaverse is such a catastrophically dumb waste of time and resources but these idiots keep pouring billions of dollars into this shit like it’s the second coming of Christ.
As long as that shit looks like it’s rendered on a fucking Gameboy Color no one is going to give a fuck, let alone spend a truckload of money like those false prophets want you to believe.
First question:I don't know why everyone wants this thing to fail.
People are so weird when it comes to AR/VR in general. It's really cool tech, don't you want it to get better and more mainstream?
First question:
It doesn’t provide and qualitative improvement what we already have. It’s a novelty.
