> There is a part of me that is disturbed. I like working at my big wooden table overlooking the city, nice natural light filtering in, the ability to detach from the screen and pace around to take a break. VR for work seems like a trap, you'll be consumed, ensnared by something that demands all your attention. You won't know freedom.
That's exactly the point, with VR someone in a small apartment they share with an extended family can ALSO have a nice big wooden table overlooking the city. Even if they are facing a beige wall ...
- wingerlang 5y agoI am pretty sure he does not find a virtual light/view/desk equivalent to the real deal.
- Ensorceled 5y agoNo where did I say they did. I'm saying that they have a very privileged, first world view of this issue.
- schrijver 5y agoNot sure what’s the privileged view here. VR is being pushed by wealthy businessmen from the first world, who probably have nice tables. Instead of using their resources and acumen to make sure the rest of us get nice tables too, they’re providing us with a virtual world of material luxury while they get to camp out in the real one. https://www.wired.com/story/billionaires-use-vr-avoid-social-change/ https://www.wired.com/story/billionaires-use-vr-avoid-social...
