Most of the CCTV and Ring cameras are pretty lousy and they're in fixed locations. All the time I'll be out walking and hear an obnoxious "You are currently being recorded" announcement, but I'm far enough away from that cheap camera that I'm probably a shadowy figure in a grainy video.
These VR headsets on the other hand are high-quality, very close to other people, and mobile.

The CCTVs in Chicago are 360 degree panning plus up/down, and can zoom-in four blocks away with enough resolution to make out a face and license plate. https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/29/chicago-police-cameras/#:~:text=At%20that%20corner%2C%20police%20had,up%20to%20four%20blocks%20away https://www.chicagotribune.com/2024/09/29/chicago-police-cam....

- oefnak 2y agoDid you have to pick a video where somebody is killed?
- edm0nd 2y agoIt's Chicago and that's pretty normal there.
- smnrg 2y agoLol. Lines like this make it clear that anyone speaking about it has never actually lived in Chicago. They may own a big hotel, run for public office, or (here) they may link a source or two leveraging a couple of neighborhoods raising statistics. But they clearly never lived in, or know what it's like to live in, Chicago.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoDon't confuse temporary with forever. I remember folks dismissing digital cameras out of hand, and now you can barely buy an alternative.
