I feel like people don't see the timeline. As much as I hate Zuck, his current 3D playground is probably comparable to a 70's video game, and his vision is that the Metaverse future is Skyrim or GTA5, I guess that'd be a Matrix-like virtual world. Imagine a headset with a 360 degree camera, so you can broadcast your surroundings, and someone else can wear their VR headset and be seeing what your camera is seeing. Or…
And I feel like people are high on fumes and refuse to see that there’s nothing there, none of the actual problems are solved, and there are no real use case being addressed. Someone just went “this is the next hype” and… is it?
Most next hypes flounder and die a lonely but well deserved death.

Except for all the difficult bits which make matrix matrix, you know, the part where you don’t crash into a wall or destroy a display if you forget that you’re very much still in the real world outside of your helmet?

Yes because if there’s one thing that’s missing to my life, it’s an office supervisor being able to see my surroundings when I’m taking a shit.
