Prepared remarks by Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg and Chief Scientist Michael Abrash discussing the "Visual Turing Test" the company aims to pass with a VR headset that provides visual indistinguishable from the real world. Read more: uploadvr.com/visual-turing-te...

Really cool that they are being more open about where they are and what they hope to achieve. Good video

[@Wobbothe3rd]

they've always had big in-depth technical talks since Oculus and the first 5 years of Facebook ownership. This is more open than last year, less open than before 2020.

[@davidholt8937]

Nice to see him acting like a human, hopefully we get loads more of these videos

[@MFinVR_uwu]

Yeah he gets better in acting like a human.

[@DissTrackTed]

We all know where this goes. It’s becoming sentient.

[@misterhorse8327]

Check out his interview with Lex Friedman. Dude is 100% into VR.

[@davidholt8937]

@@misterhorse8327 Yeah, i enjoyed that too

[@gs-nq6mw]

And people insist on attacking him for being autistic instead for being an evil person

[@aaron4820]

There really was a time where I would wonder "why does Mark Zuckerberg go to work everyday? Is optimizing ads and accidentally fueling further societal divide really that fulfilling?" And then he bought Oculus and took it to new heights, fast forward to providing customers Oculus Quest 2 at the price point we are used to, accelerating the technology and affordability that would have otherwise taken much much longer, it's great to see where it's all heading next, and lastly, you can see he's genuinely excited about it.

[@styxrakash4639]

I agree. I am able to get over a lot of my issues with the guy thanks to the reasons outlined by you

[@paulsears1805]

Where's Doug!?

[@paulbellino5330]

Who knew VR would be so complicated, but all I can say is THANK YOU. I knew and imagined this would happen the first time I played Wolfenstein all those years ago. In other words this all has been a dream come true. Please keep it up.

[@JoeMillward]

This is Zuck being going back to his vision of connecting people. Great to see his excitement about the next computing paradigm

[@cptclutch6994]

Are we gonna get the rest of this video?

[@GT1GT]

Well we have the tools, and we have a Billionaire that has a drive for VR and AR, this is awesome!!!

The holographic lens interests me a lot. I wish they would go into more detail on that one.

[@haggler40]

This was unexpected, thanks for being so open. this was like the best Oculus Connect i've ever seen. Demo's of these prototypes to the general public would be the only extra thing I'd recommend.

[@judgese7s]

I cant wait for what VR will be like in 5 years

[@styxrakash4639]

5 years likely won’t be mind blowing. Give it 15-20. We’ll have better locomotion and forced feedback systems by then. The headset potential discussed in this video likely won’t be in the average consumer hands within 5 years. His words not mine. He estimated 6 years and said “potentially towards the end of the decade”

[@misterhorse8327]

"Over to you Doug!" Where's Doug!?

[@pumpuppthevolume]

EXACTLY :P I guess this must be up on Facebook or something

[@haggler40]

I would never have expected hdr /10,000 nits being the most important variable. Very interesting.

always nice when tech companies actually focus on tech

This is how you are supposed to always share your VR updates Meta. Lose the fake/scripted method you were using before.

YES! The vr community is tech savy. Give us the nitty gritty specs

Oh, I thought the video in itself was a visual Turing test...my bad.

Same here. I thought I was in for some next gen AI demo! Wait, maybe it IS! 😂

Visual Turing Test, makes sense. How about Creal's tech?

That's some good stuff. I really hope they make more videos like this!

super cool and helpful prototypes in visual realism!

Great video. They seem to be doing well with hardware. They really need to focus on software.

[@mmmmosaic]

Don't need to be at 10,000 nits for HDR on a VR headset because it's not competing against outside light like a TV/laptop/phone.

[@probablybobross5790]

There are 2 reasons why it is so high. VR displays operate at a 10% duty cycle which reduces the actual brightness you see, that and optics reduce that even further. There are more reasons and better explanations for sure our there but those are the main 2 reasons I know why VR headsets especially HDR are pushing for higher nits.

[@meowmix705]

@Brandon C - watch the Tested video released today of their tour of the Reality Labs research facility in Redmond. They do a demo of the 'Starburst' headset, and a researcher explains the tech behind the headset.

[@Beep2bleep]

@@probablybobross5790 No watch the tested video. It's 10000 nits AFTER cutting down. So I guess it started around 1000000 nits since they said they only get 1% through.

[@Beep2bleep]

Well obv. you don't need it to see well as our current VR hmds are 100 nits. But the concept is if you get to nearly normal indoor lighting 0 - 10k it looks more real. The tested video described it as the different of looking at a picture of a bright light vs looking at a bright light.

[@probablybobross5790]

@@Beep2bleep haven't seen it yet planing on checking it out soon, just explaining why nit count is partially so high, though yeah seems like if they going for 10000 nits after seems interesting at least.

that's just his normal way of speaking. even while having sex with his wife.

I'm guessing they missed this on the first time through and reshot it and used a different mic, notice it's even a different camera angle. It's the only segment that sounds like that.

This is a 'please bear with us while we sink billions into research and don't bring out products for a decade' plead to investors. Sorry for being cynical, but with such a prepared and scripted statement, that's entirely its purpose.
