This is not true. The tech exists, Facebook is creating hoopla about a VR video game to distract from its offenses and to dissuade regulation. You can’t regulate something that is undefined.
I don’t disagree with the rest of your point.
- lumost 5y agoThe Metaverse FB is pitching is either a ridiculously over-hyped video game, or vaporware. Arguably there may not be a difference. In the media, the main reference has been the "snowcrash" novel or "ready player one" level of immersion. Which is tech we fundamentally lack a reference for how to build.
- yepthatsreality 5y agoAgain, “level of immersion” is subjective to what? How good the graphics can be? How much rumble your hardware has? If Zuckerberg was smart he’d aim for something closer to The Three Stigmata of Palmer Eldritch.
