Sometimes I wonder if the data from the cameras on my Oculus Quest 2 is being sent to FB's servers and kept. I guess I'll never know.

- fshbbdssbbgdd 6y agoIt’s going over your wifi, right? To start, you could evaluate whether the upload bandwidth could fit a video signal.
- shock-value 6y agoI think there is no doubt it isn't uploading a raw video signal. But all kinds of things could be derived from that video and uploaded.
- dkarras 6y agoIf you enable hand tracking (without controllers), they explicitly notify that they are collecting data about your hands. Combine that with your arm length, hand size / shape, height and I bet you'd be pretty unique. If there aren't enough bits, data about "the way you move" or stand, general posture etc. would be more than enough to identify you I believe. A simple DNN can eat that data like breakfast. I don't care much but it is interesting nonetheless.
- m4rtink 6y agoIt's a powerful device with superb cameras & sensors, used to play user specific content, running totally unauditable code, connected to the Internet and requiring a real identity account to even start. What could possibly go wrong.
- fshbbdssbbgdd 6y agoI can’t wait to plug it into my brain stem!
- dmitrygr 6y agoBetter lower that bandwidth requirement estimate: https://www.engadget.com/reddit-movie-floppy-disk-vcr-180230744.html https://www.engadget.com/reddit-movie-floppy-disk-vcr-180230...
- ipaddr 6y agoYes data is shared and kept. Now you know.
- bostonsre 6y agoYea.. felt like I sold my soul when I bought one and needed to create a fb account. But in death: unchained is so damn fun. I've always wondered if they operate oculus at a massive loss all so that they can collect a bunch of data. Does anyone know if the facebook info dump stuff shows what oculus data they collect?
