Hmm, I did not mean to abuse the term "VR". The original usage is much broader than just "put on a headset" immersive VR. For example, text-only MUDs & MUSHes

However, given how strongly people feel about the term, happy to use something different in the future to avoid ambiguity. E.g. "Virtual spaces" or "Spatial video".
Really the intention was to simulate aspects of the real world and in particular to virtualize human interactions in an online space.
Thanks for pointing this out.
- dang 6y agoThis is easily fixed - the title doesn't need "VR" in it and in fact reads better without it, so I just took it out. (Submitted title was 'Show HN: Pluto in-browser VR spatial video chat'.)
- eladgil 6y agoThanks for the fix! I also changed the title of my blog to remove "VR". Too bad Twitter still doesnt have editable tweets :/
