Virtual reality -- how the metaverse will change filmmaking | George Bloom | TEDxHollywood

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. In this talk, George introduces the concept of the “metaverse” and how it will change filmmaking in sets, crew, actors, and most importantly, the story.
George is an executive producer at CBS Digital the visual effects team responsible for movies and television series. He and his colleagues develop disruptive tools for production and custom content for the Oculus Rift.

Oh my god, I can't believe this is seven years old speech ,it looks like the one which is been given after Facebook -- > Meta rename. This person is a pioneer for this Metaverse I must say. Zuckerberg bought Oculus in 2014 ,that just tells how futuristic he is. It just matter of years /months that we all will be experiencing the Metaverse around us.thanks Tedx ,keep up this good work

[@Bejmo75]

I can't believe that even now i have trouble convincing people that this is a BIG deal. Yet i still hear people banging on about curved monitors and 4K like they are revolutionary and not evolutionary as they are. :(

Blockchain, NFT’s, and the metaverse/virtual real estate bouta be the future

[@frostmourne4598]

Virtual reality will indeed be the future of tomorrow. Imagine working and earning cash in a virtual reality world.. people who are physically handicapped could participate in contributing to the economy by translating their work on virtual reality to real time. Also, virtual reality will solve land constraint problems.. you will no longer need vast amount of land since space in virtual reality is infinite. All you need in real life is actually food, exercise and healthcare for survival purposes. The rest could be done on virtual reality. Even virtual reality can be a platform for exercise through motion and movement. The less use of resources and wastage in real life would mean higher distribution of wealth even to people suffering from poverty. This will eventually solve the poor-rich gap in all countries. I'm so looking forward for the emergence of virtual reality in full scale.

[@vividhkothari1]

Back in 2005, I was part of the closed beta for Playstation Home that debuted on the Playstation 3. If anyone knows about this and joined the open beta in 2008, you all know this idea and concept of what the mainstream calls "the Metaverse" is more than a decade old product. Not bragging about "I was here first"....I'm just saying, there's nothing to be scared of. There will be so many benefits coming from this technology going mainstream and it'll be great. This will coincide with the Blockchain infrastructure, higher speed internet pipeline, NFT's, Digital Assets, VR, AR, Ai, Communication, etc.

[@CMRHM]

Hi I have a question for you- I am thinking the ultimate solution for this meta verse. I believe I won’t need a glass to watch this meta verse in the future say 3 years. Then if there is no glass, what kind of receiver could receive the signal sending from the sender? Thanks

[@StagnantMizu]

you can say what you want but it wil definitely become quite scary, imagine AI characters so sophisticated they can converse at human level with the corresponding emotions and facial expressions. games so high quality it will become insepereable from reality. this will be possible within 20 years at the most

Also, Bloom is saying that V.R is going to interrupt the film industry by cutting travel and production costs but not mentioning that it also changes what it means to have actors and what it means to act. I'm definitely in support of V.R, I want to walk on the surface of the sun and all, but that's what it'll be used for, not B.S computer animated attempts at miming human beings interacting with each other.

[@frenchycapalini1061]

The Metaverse both amplifies reality and compresses time. Both worlds bleed into each other in surprising ways. And paradoxically, the virtual world will make the real world more real. The Metaverse is the ultimate playground for the human psyche, and yes, for that too. It is a screen upon which to project your imagination. It is not an escape. It is a journey of self discovery. You might even fall in love, and what would that mean?

[@DrussNL]

Finally someone who can look upon change as something to be welcomed. Is it going to be easy or seamless? NO! change never is, but things will move forward and that is the point.

[@DaysOfFunder]

And , it has arrived.

[@LindaMcQu]

Let me see, didn't Facebook just announce Metaverse? It is November 2021. By the way, would you like the RED pill or the BLUE pill?

The red pill will be not owning any Meta stuff...

[@thomasfournier8437]

Metaverse= the Matrix?

[@gandolphcarter]

Pretty much, except not necessarily with robots running the show.

[@DrussNL]

gandolphcarter It's not robots but AI's and they will almost certainly end up running the show, only at our command. Humans couldn't possibly maintain an entire universe, let alone millions of them.

[@gandolphcarter]

L0rd Log1c I was speaking informally, but obviously I meant AIs. And why do you assume that once they're running the show they'll still be at our command?

[@DrussNL]

gandolphcarter Assuming that when we are able to build them, we will be able to understand them. If we understand them then we can build in safe guards, so I assume we will stay on top. Any other scenario would be our own fault.

[@gandolphcarter]

L0rd Log1c How could we put safe guards on AI created through brain scanning?
