I agree with you in general -- all this stuff Google is doing with data really weirds me out -- but VR is actually really cool! You should try it sometime if you get the chance.
- yougavemehope 10y agoI don't dislike VR. I have a DK1, DK2, CV1, and a Vive. I think it's awesome, and has a lot of potential, but it scares me to see companies like Facebook and Google getting involved, and makes me sad to think about what the future of VR might become as a result. It also makes me sad for the people who will become wrapped up and "live" in VR, thinking that it's a 1:1 substitute for experiencing things in real life, which I'm sure shares at least some overlap with the people who haven't seen the outdoors unless forced since they became a part of WoW. The thing that worries me most in this regard, is that there are people openly talking about how they want this, and how they hope technology makes it so they never have to leave home again. What's funny is that I'm sure there are people who make lots of money working for Facebook, Google, and others reading this thinking "we're not evil, our slogan even said so! This person is nuts!", but nobody really thinks what they're doing is wrong while they're doing it -- or they wouldn't be. Hindsight is 20/20 and all that..
