Agree with most of what you said. But my take is, people would LOVE virtual reality if it were done well enough. We just don't seem to have the technical capability to pull it off well enough yet. Uncanny valley and all that.
- jeremyjh 4y agoYes exactly. ChatGPT is exciting because it actually works, not because it’s the first AI chat program. If Microsoft had pivoted to it even 5 years ago they’d be a laughingstock like Meta.
- MikusR 4y agoVR currently works as good as ChatGPT.
- MikusR 4y agoWhat does uncanny valley has to do with VR?
- detaro 4y agoWhat Meta has been pushing as Metaverse is pretty big on human-like avatars.
- MikusR 4y agoBut what does it has to do with VR in general? You don't have to use any of Meta social apps to use VR.
- JohnFen 4y agoIt have to do with VR because VR is attempting to replicate reality. If you do that almost, but not quite, perfectly then you're in the uncanny valley. It doesn't have to be about portraying people. Current VR can't even approach realism -- which keeps it out of the uncanny valley. However, if the technology improves to the point where the graphics approach realistic, the uncanny valley will become a real problem.
