This was surprisingly persuasive. You're thinking about actual productivity and not just dreaming of avatars sitting at a virtual conference table. (Ick.)
I agree with the other commenter that people are going to keep showing up in factories and repair shops, but there may be a decent sized niche of genuine utility.
Do us a favor: stay independent and stay interesting. Don't get acquired by Zuck. Maybe the MechE's in my family will use your stuff one day.
- vhiremath4 5y agoYeah I agree. The idea of 1-for-1 bridging avatars around a conference table feels horrible. That's not a world I want to live in. I do agree it's highly probable that VR becomes a utility until we have another leap in technology (contact-lens form factor?). We shall see! > Do us a favor: stay independent and stay interesting.

Thank you I really appreciate this compliment. :) My father is actually a MechE so this comment hits close to home. My background is in materials science as well as computer science. After this company, I think I'll go back to my roots in more physics, chemistry and biology and try to do something within bioengineering. Then again, who knows. I feel, as I get older, the only thing that's certain is that I have no idea what I'll value in 2-3 more years, and I think that's a good thing! Hope you and your loved ones are doing well internet friend.
