The way a large number of young people do this is just by seeing their friends in voice chat on discord and then joining on their phone.
- falcor84 3y agoYeah, that sort of works, but I think there's something meaningful to be gained by bringing the embodied experience into it, even if it's just simulated. On a related note, we're probably also less than a decade away from telepresence via a humanoid robot at an affordable price.
- chaostheory 3y agoIt’s not the same. Seeing your friend or family member trapped in a small box is very different from having out with a low fidelity version of them playing mini golf or ping pong. Immersion and presence are things that you won’t understand if you refuse to try VR for longer than 5 minutes.
- treyd 3y agoI own a Vive and used to use it regularly.
- chaostheory 3y agoBarely anyone uses PCVR. If you want to use VR socially, it’s all on Quest.
