The interface tool and the content are being confused. Virtual reality is an interface. It isn’t content. The problem up to now is that the content accessed through the virtual tool has been dog doodoo. Make the content great and people will use the interface tool. Take Zoom for example, it is a form of VR or AR (take your pick) in that it sets up a virtual meeting room. People value the content accessed through zoom (ie. needed meetings) and so they use the tool.

[@Rikirie]

It's a reciprocity issue. No one wants to invest time in learning VR if no one owns a headset and vice versa.

[@you_tube6733]

Zoom is not vr or ar. Its a phone app. Like group calls . Replaced a clasroom. The meta verse is like sombody advertiseing an arcade with no arcade games to play

[@BoredMarcus]

you're not wrong about the importance of content, but the tool also has to be accessible and working. And so far this is just not the case. You can have the best content in the world, if the tool is too expensive, or the usability isn't there it becomes a barrier. So far they are clunky, expensive head sets no one wants to wear for hours. As an example, when the iPhone came out, social media took off after, not before. KZbin, Twitter, Facebook were already there, but smartphones, an easy to use, for almost everyone accessible tool made it a mass phenomenon.

@@BoredMarcus "it's too expensive" and "the tech isn't good enough" are not useful arguments in this space when of course we are looking to the future where both of these problems are solved.

Otherwise you could argue that just about every technical innovation of the last century should have been stopped in it's tracks.

May i ask what you do in VR? I only know people who use it for Simulators. They all agree everything else sucks. And i want to see what’s around me.

[@gabzsy4924]

@@phoenixsui What people need to realise is that VR is not a substiture for your desktop gaming. It's a fun gimmicky console that gives you experiences like no other, but one that you'll probably play every now and then only. That is mostly because its still on the infant phase and there aren't massive games with massive communities, also VR can get very tiresome for your eyes, neck and head after long sessions, even nauseous, so they really need to nail all of the locomotion and comfort / fit elements for it to go mainstream. Same with the software, many games are actually learning thourgh trial and error to see what works and what dosn't, and I'm happy to say that some are up to something for sure. Having said that the best games that fit VR right now are either simulation games or arcade style games that were built for VR...obviously you have some honorable mentions. I'm talking beat saber, cook out, job simulator, Demeo, Super Hot, Rumble VR...but also other genres like first person shooters, Sword fighting games, and especially horror/puzzle games are also great in VR, I myself love horror and VR brings it to a WHOLE other level. What really dosn't work and people need to realize this, are MMO's or big games that have either been ported to VR or tried to recreate a genre that is not yet compatible in VR like No Man's sky...these games are a chore to play in VR, mostly because of the long hours required per session, but in case of MMO's it's also because of the number of inputs.

I'm an XR designer(graduating next month), so I will work with VR and AR. Right now I'm doing an internship and making VR simulations for fire drills, and the company I'm at also does other educational VR simulations for educating nurses in how to handle crisis situations. VR is defenitely a thing when it comes to education and is already becoming more popular for these things. But it might take a while before it becomes more mainstream. Not even I use my VR headset outside of work :/ I do LOVE prototyping and creating things in VR though, but that's about it. Mostly it's just that the VR games are not as addicting or fun as the pc or console ones for me, it's not even about the graphics. I don't like that I have to move around so much in many of them, and even then....that's the "gimmick", and the game themselfs are kinda meh (obviously not ALL games, but A LOT of them). We need higher quality games, where they actually do good game design and don't use VR as a gimmick.

[@arcanumimperial6857]

Definitely agreed, developing games for vr is pretty difficult and there are less financial incentives with higher effort probably some of the reasons

[@diersteinjulien6773]

In my opinion, it's all about the commitment. Let me explain. To play on mobile, you need to take your mobile in your hand. That's it. You can do it anytime, anywhere, and you can stop immediately. Same thing with the switch. It's portable, you can just freeze the game anytime, it's just a slightly bigger device. A solo game on pc/console? Well, you need to be home, in front of your screen. You have to commit to "where" you are, but you can still pause anytime. Multiplayer? Now you can't pause, so you have to commit time too And now VR? You're entirely cut from reality, you have to commit the entirety of your attention to it. And that's the problem. VR can work in a professional setting or in education, where you have to dedicate fully to the experience. But it's a HUGE commitment during for entertainment purpose

[@DunningofKruger]

Current VR is merely the stopgap between Screens and so-called “full dive” VR. Whether or not we actually use it depends on how much we can improve affordability, design and value. Compared to how quickly we can read people’s brains and stimulate them to create experiences.

[@Sizifus]

VR is like, whatever, but AR will blast pr0n to new heights, mark my words. I honestly see Augmented Reality becoming way way WAY more popular than VR, because it likely can solve the main problem of dizziness VR causes to people while also requiring less computing power than VR because it just adds elements in realspace instead of completely simulating virtual ones.

[@balanceofjudgment9995]

VR could be implemented and specialized in different ways , big and complex VR for gaming to increase immersion like nervegear for SAO, small and compact VR device like the scouter from DBZ to let you see a digital layer over reality that lets you see digital items and information , same way the Pokemon Go was with seeing monsters in reality trough the phone app, you could write messages on walls or objects placed with the VR device or trough a program from a pc in a location that only certain users can see, either by 2 or more devices in a network being linked or by password so not everyone can see the info. Or a device similar to the previous one that has a camera and you can use it with different programs to scan and identify ,analyze, compare items in real life to information on that item from a data base. But even if we had such technology , i bet there would be someone or some corporation trying to monopolize it or ruin it in some way, greed will always try to find a way to ruin everything useful or fun.

If Mark is serious about the metaverse his money would be better spent paying for those huge titles as that's the only way it will become mainstream and people will start buying a headset instead of or on top of their usual gaming systems. Once it becomes mainstream and everyone has a headset and it becomes profitible for content creators then the Metaverse becomes viable.

Anyone else noticing that we're kinda heading to a Matrix like future... immersed in an augmented/virtual reality and ignoring the actual real world. Is that really the future we want.

[@idkman9164]

Hell yeah matrix all the way, bluepill me daddy zucc

[@Shadowkitty360]

ASMON SHOULD GET A VR HEADSET AND WALK AROUND WORLD OF WARCRAFT ITS AMAZING

[@cactusdesbois2443]

Hope meta never has any success

[@locus2427]

why

[@andrew08857]

AR is already better in the sense that you can create a technology filled lense to make everyone see augmented reality from glasses, or even webcams. A headset seems like a burden moving forward for social interactions

[@jordanfail283]

Marques is the most honest tech reviewer I’ve ever watched. Whatever he says you can take it as the truth

[@jackbedford-harman4589]

I feel like VR is waiting for advancements in both technology and biology, to make some kind of nerve gear setup like Sword Art Online. If and when that happens, I think it'll be world changing.

[@timv5203]

Can't wait to get fact checked in VR. Let's go Mark.

[@lukashenrique4295]

"the diffrent reasons ppl use AI art" I started laughing at this part. not laughing because it was funny but I was ashamed he got me. It all started innocently though, "girl wearing a red coat on a sunflower field with mountains in the background", developing to "hot anime blonde girl with big boobs popping out of her microbikini" 🤣

[@ExploringTheMetaverseTogether]

People used to make fun of the first kids who brought a cell phone to school. The VR and AR tech will change the world.

[@abelego24]

Cringe

[@KalboVello]

🤣🤣🤣

[@Sharticus94]

LMFAO yea but not for a long time

[@hotrodhunk7389]

No they didn't. In my school the first kid with a camera phone was basically the Chad of that month.

[@button9]

I love the juxtaposition of Asmon and MKB - like polar opposites in aethstetics - presented in one video

[@Sakkat_Gaming]

You don't have to standup to play VR, not only are there a bunch of games made for sitting down, there is also an Adjust Height option to allow you to play VR Games while sitting, at least on the Quest 2.

[@Icureditwithmybrain]

Planned obsolescence sucks for my neighbors, their dryer keeps breaking every 2-4 years. My 20 year old dryer is still working flawless lol.

[@franklinbinga2153]

Traveling back in time to prevent disaster: Asmon Sleeps Charles Cheese appears: Wake up Zack, it's time to return home

[@Garviel_]

I can't do VR as i get really motion sick after an hour or so. It was fun, but my body didn't like it

[@theguyonyoutube4826]

I think asomon should try a VR headset, I find most people who are super skeptical haven't even experienced it. I know I was before I tried it

[@prickiland]

One of the problems I have with current vr is that you are not moving enough.

[@TheDoats]

AR would be way more fun to move around in. Imagine going to your local park and everyone is playing call of duty with AR glasses on and a laser tag gun.

[@Braytech_Official]

Bro I'm buying one of those quest pros wtf. The hand tracking looks insane.

[@potheker]

One thing he forgot: For people to adopt VR, the apps don't have to be better than their reallife counterpart. They have to be so much better that you'll wear that heavy shitthing on your head for as long as it goes. I owned the Quest 2 and know how uncomfortable it is, that's what makes me 100% convinced that noone is ever gonna have VR meetings until the headsets stop being bricks

[@FireyFly]

Yeah, you dont have to buy 4-5 monitors, and you dont need the desk, or the space to do it, you can just assign how many screens you'd like in your view, that is also huge.

[@Butterzzzz]

Honestly I think the best application of VR is a airplane sims, I imagine a realistic booth that turns you around would be amazing

[@ladyihcobob]

I look forward to the day when I'll be able to play Dark Souls in VR. It's an exhilarating and terrifying thought at the same time because Irithyll Dungeon is the most scared I've ever been in a game.

[@omegasage7]

Ready Player One, the book is very different from the movie. It gives a very realistic view on how VR may look in the future, with it being used not only for games, but education, business, and everything else you can do in real life. It also includes a very dystopian view on the world itself outside, which will hopefully never come to pass.

[@tukos7370]

I wish for people to understand that VR has nothing to do with metaverse. we already are tethered to a metaverse with social media platforms we use. What do you think about digital colonization? The dystopia is ALREADY HERE. And you people are getting bent out of shape over goggles and cartoons.

[@omegasage7]

@@tukos7370 Have you read the book?

[@GrahamErmter]

We actually use a lot of AI art at the game studio I work at for creating concept art quickly and easily.

[@goqwertygo]

I went to black friday browsing late afternoon when the mad crowd left. I saw pallets of these left over. Not only that their demo screen system crashed and was rebooting Lubuntu😂

[@gdgd5194]

By mad crowd you mean discord moderators looking to up their anime waifus game :d Need that immersion

[@markedwards9071]

I will use and play vr only when it don’t hurt my eyes with the screen being too close.

[@ImTheWarlock64]

I need to practice my face rigging skills just in case VR start to be something big

[@DEADN8]

I wonder what would be next after the peak of VR?

[@MoontariReacts]

Self induced coma is the future of VR

[@Okurka.]

In Metaverse every home will look like Asmon's irl.

[@jakehenry501]

Its obvious that Meta needs to combine with DXRacer so we can finally get the VR Chair that we all have been waiting for. We dont want a lightweight headset we want a comfortable chair to lean back into and then Link in to the Meta world

[@RLucasReviews]

The innovator for VR is going to be immersive shopping! If I can put on my headset and load into Circuit City, Kmart, or some other old school store like ToysRUs and actually shop and talk to store employees I’m ALL in! Let me put stuff in my cart, pay and have that stuff sent to my house. Heck, pay people to be employees in the stores. Lots of possibilities.

[@thyago1992]

I was thinking about this. The big leap for VR will be when we can do everiday tasks (including shopping and working) with it. Imagine how many ppl will be gladly working with a VR headset from home. An even greater leap will be when VR become interactive with RL. Like you go IRL to a shop and a worker there is working from home with a VR set and you imteract with it

[@asianpersuasian7248]

If my employer ever makes me wear a metaverse headset even for one hour, I would quit.

[@skota7416]

My dad's in his 70s and plays VR golf ALL the time! He loves VR

[@Kaiesis]

VR needs 2 fixes. The headset, and eye tracking. The headset is easy, just copy what the military does for night optics. Needs to be comfortable and off the face for long usage. Eye tracking because our eyes can move independently from turning our head. If the VR system allows us to look at an object, shake our head and not lose focus on what our eye is focused on, problem solved.

[@skeletonlover3214]

Hopefully it all works out in the end

[@Luminousplayer]

we all know this will explode in sales once the "slice of life anime simulators with cute girls with jiggle physics" start full development

[@kindalost2495]

The partly covered eye design is for the immersion of AR not VR ... I think so atleast
