Despite all the ongoing negativity, you sure have helped Meta by showing what connecting to other people in the virtual world is like. I am wondering how Metaverse can be kept decently safe and not turned into a chaotic virtual world.

Thanks for one of the most optimistic videos about this technology, its current state and potential. It seems so many people are reluctant to see the possibilities out of fear of losing their current ways. I see it as a wonderful new addition (rather than replacement) and can’t wait to see how the experiences continue to develop.

The possibility to be in a state of discomfort and annoyance everyday? Ya that was made very clear. I'll be honest - I think you're another meta-shill.

I've been working a lot in VR. I have ADHD so being able to change my environment at a flick of a button is a very powerful way to change your frame of mind if I keep loosing focus. As for the marks on the face, since your just working with them I've found that just leaving the headset a bit looser works wonders. Also for immersed and drinks - you can put "portals" into the real world in Immersed. So you can have a window into the real world where your glass is :)

When one realises that VR is still in it's infancy it can bring that much more into work life. Also the presence feeling if one haven't tried the workrooms or immersed for meetings they have no idea how much more present you feel over the standard zoom call.

It’s common to hear people mention that the allure of VR for workers is that it provides a “safe” environment. I think, while that is probably true for some, the larger motivator is the price. I’m a remote worker and would love to work in a co-working space but it’s extremely expensive. For the price of one to two months of a private office in a co-working space, you can buy a VR headset that gives a close-enough feel.

@PeteMatheson

Жыл бұрын

True, the headset is expensive. The Quest 2 also works which is much more affordable, but not as good. I see it as being cheaper than a multi monitor setup so still can be good value, depending on the kinda screens you normally use!

I like how you went against the grain and actually made some effort to make it work, rather than just make fun of Meta's legless avatars like many other KZreadrs did. I like your optimistic take.

@@PeteMatheson Me too. I think if Zuck wants any hope of the working side of the metaverse to take off in a serious way any time soon he needs to partner with corporations and get them to issue these as their work device. They need whole groups to be using them. Hoping enough people will buy them on their own accord with their own money and work with 99% people not using them is just not gonna happen. Especially at this price.

Thanks so much for this. I’m 99% ready to get one of these for some many of the reasons you mention - working alone from home as a web developer, would be so nice to have a better office, hang out with people in those spaces and more screens.

Hey I looked at a review about this headset when it first came out.. and there’s a setting where you can create a portal. The portal allows you to peak into the real world. You can either create a door way for you to see and step into the real world. The other allows you to scan an object so you can always see it with the headset on. That way you can scan your glass, notepad, or chair and you will always know where they are with the headset on because you can see them.

I think that the only way VR can gain massive adoption in companies is by providing a desktop workstation grade monitor setup on the go no matter where you are. There's a huge blocker issue shown here: the desktop output looks very VERY bad in the recording (low resolution, flickering, blurriness). The problem is that in my experience a 2d VR recording has always looked way better than the actual output of a VR headset.

You've got it backwards, what you see in a 2D capture is almost always significantly lower quality than it appears while actually wearing the headset.

Meta should have some games like treasure hunt for real money like 1 million dollars or build in business so will attract people to go there to make money!

does it work on quest 3?

I wonder whether all the work related data is safe from Meta’s hands is such a setup

Please answer us, do you still work daily in VR? That's the burning question, are the headsets high enough dpi to be as productive?
