Meta Launches Hyperscape, Technology to Turn Real-World Spaces Into Vr

Any movie depictions of VR are fully immersive - Ready Player One (at least the film) takes some liberties in depicting the game world as if it's immersive, even though the guy plays with VR glasses and force feedback gloves/suits, all current-day technology. Most others have a direct brain interface. Some (Star Trek) model a realistic immersive environment around the player, but both of those are very much science fiction still.

There's some brain / tech interfaces, but if I recall correctly the brain has to learn to handle the signals first, there's no way to create a perfect, instant link.

No one "needs" to push for that bullshit metaverse, the real world isn't shitty enough, yet, apparently they're dead set and achieving that, for people to wish to live in a computer.

Rechargable batteries have been around since the 1850s. The idea of "battery, but smaller" isn't exactly a hard sell when you already have devices with huge NiMH / NiCd battery bricks attached to them. Just look at the laptops and mobile phones from the 90s!

On the other hand, VR is almost entirely a solution looking for a problem. VR headsets have been around since the 80s. Sure they sucked, but the fact that there still isn't a killer app forty years later should be a good indication that the concept itself perhaps isn't too attractive.

VR development is driven solely by Facebook's desire to sell VR, not by customer demand for better VR headsets. If the current headsets aren't good enough, a 50% lighter / faster one isn't going to make a difference.

They're not happy to have a successful game store, they want me to use a VR headset to determine my schedule. Which I guess is alright, if I can also access my schedule with a desktop computer or a phone. Why I'd want to use VR to determine my schedule is beyond me, I think a 'minority report' kind of interface could be possible but it is 2025 and you'd think people would expect a conversational recommender that works everywhere.

Have fun planning to steal my Rhino Warframe!

I don't think any of the cameras run at 90hz, I'm pretty sure the slam cameras run at 25hz, with the IMU doing the rest. (that might have changed, It also may have been 15hz, I can't remember)

Also, again from memory, its been a year since I actually worked on it, the colour camera does some fancy fusion to make a compound image. The images need to be warped properly so that depth is displayed properly.

> It's a good thing. It's a nice thing. Chill

That's your opinion, the fact that VR tanked hard seems to indicate most people don't agree

This has to be satire, god emperor Zuck and his megacorp Meta fighting for our personal freedoms and right to self-determination. You're already living in an alternate universe apparently

Yes! actually cars did have a plausibly negative effect on connection. in the before times you couldn't travel far so you didn't. and you saw your family ever day of your life. It's not all it's cracked up to be sure, but we're talking logistics.

Now with cars you can go wherever! And people move continents away and are told to make the family trip once a year at thanksgiving to do the family thing. Can you believe that with more optionality comes paradoxically fewer "chosen" options. See Netflix.

I want a little virtual office and hallways and I can have hallway interactions and knock on virtual doors, etc.
