So they can make the metaverse this photorealistic now?

[Wilmer Digreux]

ok that's pretty wild. I had no idea they were this far along. The last I heard the avatars still looked like cartoons. Starting to get why Zuckerberg keeps sinking tons of money into it.

I looks close to realistic, but I can still tell it's fake. There is certain nuances/subtleties that are hard to replicate I suppose. But it looks better than most of I've seen.

Yeah there was a little uncanny valley thing going on but still it's a lot more impressive already then what I was expecting.

You know what's superior to the metaverse? Real life.

 

[Goonerview]

Still not at all interested.

Only thing like this I’m interested in is the Apple Vision.

That’s only because I could get tons of use from it at work watching movies and TV.

smart of them to demo it using Lex and Zucc, two people who already have uncanny valley energy in real life, these digital avatars are only slightly more off-putting than the real thing

Jesus christ why does meta keep zuck as the face of this metaverse development. They need a serious rebrand

That's pretty cool. There's a lot of uncanny valley happening here, especially with these two androids, but it's already far more impressive than it was just two years ago.

The price and cumbersome nature of the headsets are massive barriers to entry, but as that eventually gets worked out to what amounts to a pair of inexpensive super light glasses, just imagine what the fidelity will be like.

The porn and virtual companion applications, coupled with AI, will be a huge industry. I don't know how they'll do it, but touch and smell sensations are inevitable too.

Brave New World, except replace soma with the metaverse.

yeah but can you get friends in real life ?

 

[IndyCovaHart]

just wait until the three shells come around

 

[Patrick Jane]

Yes, even though they charge per hour.

 

[4daLuLZ]

Yes, even though they charge per hour.

The rates per hour I can stand. It’s the civil suit settlements after that are expensive.

Get in the pod and eat the bugs. The irony of two robots selling it is kinda funny though.
