I think it will come across as unprofessional to join a meeting in vr personally. And triply so if not everyone, or everyone of a certain class is doing it. VR is goofy, and it'll continue to be goofy. Like... ok so you have an avatar. Are a cartoon? That's a bad start. Are they maybe an unreal meta human that looks like you? Different than you? Like you, but poorly done? Ok whatever let's assume the rendering is fine. What are you doing in this virtual meeting? Are you standing? Because that would be very weird for a business meeting. Presumably you're sitting irl because this is work, so maybe your avatar is sitting... Do they have a table in the virtual room? Because a meeting with no table is a bit odd for a business setting. But if you're in VR, you probably don't have a table in front of you irl. Or at least not the same table that's virtually in front of you. What does your body language track? What if Carol starts lagging and her avatar starts jerking around? What if your facial tracking gets something wrong and you just have a weird look on your face? Or more realistically your facial tracking is just a pretty simplistic thing that vacillates between neutral and smiling and you need to convey negative emotions? In snow crash, the thing that made the metaverse work was very strong facial expression mimicry. It's not a terrible argument, but we don't have that. We have fake expressive facial mimicry that looks emotive but isn't actually that nuanced to your own face. VR Chat for business just seems like a preposterous idea. Especially for older folks.
