When Does VR Reach Ready Player One Status? | MOONSHOTS

[@takeshmode]

You would need full immersion, meaning all senses, before you would reach Ready Player One status. That would include either an omni-directional treadmill similar to the one in the movie or something equivalent and also higher-fidelity graphics. I am also a VR enthusiast, and the top-tier VR headsets are like looking through a glass window into an alternate reality, but they are just as expensive as the Vision Pro, if not more so, plus you need base stations that track your movement and you need full body tracking, and all the hardware needed currently is pretty expensive. Not to mention that you need a beefy computer to do all the comuting to get the best quality graphics. That being said, I'm not sure if Peter has really ever tried any of the metas headsets, but I have the metaquest 2, and I can tell you as a gamer that even with the older tech, once you are standing in this virtual environment, you forget real fast that you are actually standing in a room in your house when you are battling zombies and worrying about what's in your inventory. Even when the graphics are close to Minecraft level, you become the Minecraft person. You forget that that is not really your arm, and you become fully immersed just by having decent headphones and a headset. The only thing is that movement in the virtual environment is limited to using joysticks because your actual environment is small compared to what you are seeing and experiencing, but once you get that solved, even with the lower-tier headsets, you get lost in these virtual worlds. Now when it comes to AR, that's a whole other story, and with the form factor of glasses and having a digital overlay over the real world, that will be another crazy experience all together. I for one cannot wait to have something similar to Iron Man Tech while I walk around in the real world, which Apple was kind of trying to go for with the Vision Pro, but since that is their first step into the XR space, they kind of screwed the pooch but it was really meant for devs more than the normal consumer, kind of like the first iPhone. V3 or V5 will be something everyone has in their house, perhaps, but Apple products are notoriously super expensive, so not sure the average consumer will have one. But with us heading for a post-scarcity, post-labor society, who knows!

Salim Ismail's journey is stellar. Exponential Organizations are reshaping business. Joining ExO Community seems like a wise move.

The amount of compute it would take to generate entire dynamic worlds in real-time, we're not even close. Maybe you can generate a mushy 3d model, but even that will have baked lighting because it can't run complex shaders on a VR headset

[@Art-is-craft]

It will be ai generated. In will be there in the mid 2030s.

[@MatthewSanders-l7k]

Fantastic episode, Peter! Salim Ismail's expertise on exponential organizations is unmatched. Definitely worth subscribing for more insights. Thanks for sharing all these valuable links.

BCI + VR tech. OpenBCI is working on a headset with Varjo, I think Valve is working on it too. Unreal engine is also pretty powerful. Altogether, thinking about blockchain as well, ready player one might be closer than we think

[@ianyboo]

I'm so tired of the ready player One references, that movie has the worst version of VR where you have to pantomime all of your actions, I don't want to be playing charades with my headset lol. I don't want to pretend to climb a ladder in order to climb a ladder in VR. We should be looking at sword art online or The matrix where you are lying comfortably in your bed with your body motionless and your mind is the thing engaged with the content. We need to stop trying to achieve the worst possible VR outcome lol

[@EasyChi_1]

Agreed, will prefer capsule for gaming and headset for socials

[@Abc1234cht]

Then go play vr chat, unlike you ready player one will eventually happens.

[@thelastcobraa]

Your WRONG… ready player one book touches on this not the movie read the book bro it’s much more realistic u choose how u move some ppl can literally climb a ladder or others can think about it with a brain interface that doesn’t require nothing in your brain the ready player one style of vr has to come before the matrix … ready player one is actually the most realistic interpretation of how it will be like read the book

[@TheTrueObelus]

Unless they can get rid of the nausea you get from extended use VR will always be niche.

[@HayaseNagatoro-anime]

True.

[@ColbyBarradas]

Excellent video! Love this stuff

[@johnnovotny5074]

You've spoken about life extension and biotech in the past any chance we can get a deep dive on advances in biotech for 2025? A deep dive on AI driven research for 2025 would alse be cool.

[@isakisak9989]

The real question is when we get fdvr, sao/matrix level vr, hopefully in my lifetime. 😢

[@WisdomSuccessAbundance]

Googles Willow chip can compute VR universes

[@AbAb-th5qe]

What?! VR technology is already better than what we see in that film right? It's just waiting for a good game and the price to come down a bit. Although, I don't have enough space to dedicate just to VR. Plus it makes me feel sick to use.

[@cfjlkfsjf]

Would be cool to go into your digital world and it will look exactly like today, and because you would need a helmet or something reading your brain you could conjure up anything you've seen IRL and person you've ever seen. Have a deceased family member? you can see them here and you know how they are like so it will be like they are still here. Or visit a past experience and watch it play out in front of you.

[@inezcollabs]

Now that google is joining the battle it will push others to improve quicker too

[@TheThrongThatNeverEnds]

The Root Network ($ROOT) is partnered with Ready Player 1

[@CharlotteLopez-n3i]

Impressed by Salim Ismail's expertise on exponential organizations. Following his advice and joining the ExO Community seems essential for tech enthusiasts.

[@siegfried19888]

The matrix is a lot better than ready player one
