Alternate headline:
“New shiny thing distracts idiot CEO into moving funds from one money pit to another.”
idk vr never felt like a pit, just early, comfort and fov was an issue, literally my main issue was not being able to see my phone without taking it off. Once that is solved I could use it indefinitely, taking it off and putting it back on was annoying and it always felt wrong after
I mean I’m a big fan of VR but it’s clearly been a money pit for meta, their massive investment in it is never going to pay back, they were betting on selling “metaverse” real estate rather than making money on the hardware
they weren’t paying attention when people tried that very same thing in SecondLife
Somehow they also made it worse than second life.
It could have worked with a more measured approach, but they’ve been stupid about it.
That whole thing was weird. Like, even if it was a perfect simulation, it still wouldn’t keep me dry and warm like real real estate, nor could I keep my stuff there.
Genuinely love vr/ar, glad theyve pushed it enough that its not just seen as the cardboard stuff anymore
For META this is a pit.
A friend had me try his quest 3 (I think?) and for the 15 minutes I used it, it was amazing (except I could see the pixels, he said it was impossible and that it must have been a focus issue, but, well…).
Of course I would never buy anything made by Meta, so I’m waiting for the Steam Frame, but it’s definitely and interesting technology!
The quest 3 has like 25 ppd (pixels per degree) and the human limit is like at least 60 ppd. So your friend needs some glasses
He has them, quite thick to be honest
