Oddbean new post about login | logout Remember when Facebook went all in on the metaverse, changed their name to meta and lost billions? 💀 When will they change their name back? It must burn to look at it everyday
Metaverse was a horrible idea, but I think what they’re doing with vr/ar will be successful long term VR/AR applications for education and training are huge
If you have a decent PC, you can have surprisingly good experiences with a $200 Quest 2. I started playing VTOL VR as a "kids flight sim", and although it's a little heavy for the kids the experience of learning technical skills in modern VR is amazing. Doubly so when you have two people in the same aircraft.
The real metaverse is now the real world through their lenses! Pivot and hopefully more billions lost. Please NPCs do not walk around with Zuck glasses equipped with a camera everywhere you go! I have very little faith. I feel like these are going be popular when they come out. https://v.nostr.build/f1W8VMnulKx3EA7K.mp4
Yikes
I was reading just the other day that apparently the tide is turning and supposedly they claimed it was turning out to be a success for Zuck 😔
