The idea of wearing a VR headset so I can "enjoy photos with friends" is absolutely hilarious and so deeply disconnected from what human beings want and need as a species.
- al_borland 3y agoEvery time I see the spatial photos and spatial videos, I always view it as someone putting on their VR headset to reliving a memory of someone who died. Then they take the headset off and realize they are alone and the loss broke them. I have a lot of trouble not seeing those videos from a very depressing place.
- dwaite 3y agoPeople are totally allowed to watch videos of their children without their children being dead.
- al_borland 3y agoThis is true. I think it's the fade effect they add to the edge of it, it seems like an effect that would be used in a movie to show a memory of someone who died.
- OrangeMusic 3y agoIt's all about tradeoffs. If you get at the same time: - gigantic (virtual) screens showing your photos/videos in a spectacular way AND - a incredibly small, light, comfortable, and almost unnoticeable (e.g. glasses) headset then, yes people will absolutely use that instead of actual photos printed on paper. Obviously we're not there yet.
