re: Facebook is spending more on Reality Labs than what the US spent on the Apollo program

Even if the Zuckerverse allowed me to virtually plow the 1992 version Sandra Bullock I still wouldn't spend a dime on it.

C'mon now, don't be ridiculous. That would be well worth it.

Vr is the future. Cant get stabbed or shot watching the game on VR.

For 250 billion, i hope that's not true.

I didn’t believe it at first but they are going to change the way the world interacts. They will have software and programming where you can literally make it seem like you are sitting in a conference room with your co-workers. You will be able to see their facial expressions and microcosms as if they were sitting in front of you. What they have now is the basics and initial mode but eventually it will be on a pair of glasses then a contact lens.
This is the future and unfortunately it isn’t going away.

If they could get it all into a contact lens with a blue tooth earpiece, they would be making great progress IMO

tom posted on page one and I've been waiting for somebody to reply to him with a Myspace joke...for days

MySpace was better. The html. The customized home page. The top 8.
A lot of drama if you feel out the top 8.
Also you had to put your girl 1st or that was drama.

I sort of like the idea of meta for shopping. Like if one day instead of 2d you could view eBay images in 3d in vr.or try on clothes. As far as hanging out as cartoons meh. I'll stick to playing the Sims.

All you people that don’t get it have obviously never watched VR porn.

I honestly think the evolution of VR will the the next significate change in tech.
I think so too. The thing With technology is that people adapt to it. Who would of thought 20 years ago that a smart phone invented and people would stare at it 7 hours a day?
People who say they want to experience the real world first hand. You still can. But others will want to see something New. What’s the difference between sitting on your couch watching football game for 3 hours and being in a VR world? It’s just a different form of entertainment but in VR you are a part if it.

Have you ever seen Netflix VR? If they could improve that experience with improved resolution including sound then I guarantee you'd watch movies and TV shows on it. Or even play video games.
It gives you a perspective of a massive screen without physically occupying a massive amount of space.
I think the greatest applications of VR will be augmented reality...in other words VR graphics overlaying the real life perspective. From employment training to directions,etc. You still experience the real world without having to isolate your perspective from others through a purely virtual world.

Probably trying to use it to time travel like on peripheral

We’ll get there. It’ll be great. You can live in cinder block government housing and eat bugs but through your augmented reality glasses you’ll be living in a chic scifi condo and eating steak.
You can be obese or emaciated but through VR you’ll look beautiful as will your mate. Who can be anyone in reality but whomever you want in VR.
I can’t wait.
The New Orleans streets will all look paved to your glasses.
No more graffiti. No more blight. We can finally completely ignore reality and live in a shared simulation.

Go watch the movie Ready Player One.

I'm sure VR will eventually create something that people want to use when the technology gets there.
However we are not close right now and the Facebook/meta is not really the company that is advancing the tech. They are a software company that is focusing on building the virtual world using today's technology.
It is already a massive failure and will continue to be. Because Meta is building a world that focuses on their customers.. a place filled with advertisements. They aren't trying to build some killer feature to get normal people to actually want to use it. That is why they have already pivoted to now trying to say it's a tool for business, and now charging a much higher price.

Man…I’ve seen social media come out of nowhere.
Seen Google Glasses have millions and billions spent on it by Sergey and Co…only to completely faceplant.
Seen Amazon Alexa come pretty close to becoming ubiquitous…making it into our house, our lights, thermostats, cars, phones and speakers…and start to plateau.
I’ll just say this about the Metaverse.
You could use Social Media with a desktop, laptop, feature phone or smartphone.
With Glasses, it cost thousands. With Alexa, it’s a Prime Account and about $30 bucks…and your voice or an app.
With Meta/VR, you can’t use it in a mobile setting, and it costs thousands. Two strikes where failed and successful technologies provide an instructive lesson.
Beyond that…the intent is for the Metaverse to be everything. Yet both worldwide and especially in the US, we have acute shortcomings with respect to broadband infrastructure. We can’t get it nationally, and we certainly have cracked that code worldwide.
So you have a digital territory that people are working and spending billions on right now that can’t be accessed without being hardwired in, using prohibitively expensive hardware, being touted as a societal-wide evolution that requires staggering leaps in connectivity and latency access improvements worldwide before any true shift could occur to said territory.
Zuckerberg views this as a land grab and he’s a first mover. But this looks much more like a Google Glass or Magic Leap than the next Facebook or Social Media landscape.
