Gabe Newell said it right when he said XR is an extinction level event for most modern entertainment mediums. The crazy part about VR is that the lines between what is a “game” “experience” “movie” etc will be blurred so much in the future. VR entertainment is VR entertainment.
Thanks for your important work in the VR community, sir. We need enthusiastic, well-researched, and objective early adopters like you and Phia. Your respective content is on the frontline and helps to break down the barriers of entry and cut through existing stigmas. I was not immune. Bias is not the problem, just finding spaces with adults and becoming familiar with the platforms in general is something that I am finding to be my limiitng factor/step. It would be so great to have a program either on a client by client basis, or more comprehensive and broad. One that helps integrate new users into the space. Both a holistic approach (client) and perhaps a more streamlined experience. Could you, Phia, or someone in the community point me in the right direction? I'll start by joining your respective Patreon groups, as all who value your content, and can affford the minimal cost should (to my mind). Thanks.
Right, I never have seen VR as a gaming platform, even at my early Rift DK2 days. VR is so much more than gaming. It is also the reason why I don't like calling platforms like VRChat or NeosVR "gaming", you can game in it. But it is no gaming if you, for example, visit a concert in VRChat, so it is clear for me that such VR apps are not a game, it is a social media platform. Calling all a game only hurt VR and makes it more difficult to get into the big mass market. Gaming is nice, no question, at first I'm a gamer, but not everyone is into gaming, but more open for other entertainment things and this things are the reason why they could get interested in VR. It was good to use gaming to push VR into the market, but the market developed into a other direction and we are already way behind it to use gaming as main trigger for VR. I done enough in VR that I not would call gaming, that alone shows me we are way further.
Same here, i bought mine to play lots of games on there. But instead i met alot of friends on there and got to socialize even better than the way i do in real life. I mean occasionally we play games, but it’s usually with a party and we mostly socialize then. Even when i got my oculus, and if i did socialize, I thought Ill just be the usual outcast i am irl. But i now have a great group of friends. And honestly, they are the best friends i ever had in my life!
@@aperson3097 Awesome! There are people who believe that society will get worse when VR becomes mainstream. I beg to differ. If VR can get people exercising, meditating, socializing and just plain happy, then that energy will flow back into the real world. We embody avatars in VR, and we could embody positive energy in real life.
I find it interesting that our bodies are just instruments for deciphering wavelengths. Whether that be light waves, sound waves, even all our atoms are vibrating. We're take all that data, and interpret it into the world we see around us
I like the idea I have seen in a manga, where people could take their VR and watch streamers play VR games, but the viewer would have full freedom what they wanted to look at, as long as they stayed within a set range of the streamer.
@@the_realbwkool It may have been "Ranker’s Return" but I'm not 100% sure because it was said in passing and I'm reading way to many manga's that's similar to each other
Phia, as a musician you just set my mind on fire with the thought of XRMVs (XR Music Videos)! What an untapped avenue of creativity, and I can't wait to see where this goes!
If you want to know the future of VR, just read "Snow Crash" by Neal Stephenson. The 1992 book defined the VR era and it still is the source for many VR creators.
It would be great for your viewers to be able to sit in the audience of that new stage, in VR, to watch the show. Not live, of course, since I can't even imagine how long the videos take to produce, but still in YTVR.
Ohh i love this, makes me so excited for the future of VR and to get a set one day. Raves and festivals sound perfect. I got real bad social anxiety, and interacting irl or making friends is hard for me. So anything social in VR sounds great to me. AND MAN. Think about artists alleys, but VR. Just like virtual comic cons it'd be way more accessible and profitable for everyone.
I do not share your disdain for the classroom environment (real or virtual), but it's great to see so much on non-gaming entertainment applications of VR and tie-ins with AR. Excellent video.
HAHA I always preferred any chance I could get of online classes :’) however, I think sitting in a class full of anime girls would be a little more fun
I totally hear what you are saying but I just bought a Valve Index and Half-Life:Alyx is blowing my mind! One of the best "media experiences" of my life.
Great video. I wish The Under Presents could have been reviewed for the Immersive theater section. That is still one of the most unique VR applications today
I think another important topic is the future of companies with AR and VR. meetings in AR/VR are much more personal then via Teams/Zoom etc.), working (virtual desktop), designing, presentations,... My company has a extra VR department for showing costumers their wip products (we build big rolling mills).
I would love if movies would let you explore them in VR. You're forced to stay in a range of where the main thing is happening, but you can walk around and see it from different directions. You can watch a fight facing east, west, northwest, etc, just like real life.
This is fantastic watch for those those both old and new to VR and reflects many of our own thoughts and feelings on the potential for the medium, both present and future. While gaming will always be a strong part of it, only the surface has been scratched on the potential provided by immersive technologies to completely reinvent storytelling, remote learning, social communication and much more for both end users as well as creators. The only limits are our own creativity and general accessibility with the latter being a blessedly unlimited resource and the latter finally coming to pass in recent years and quickly increasing. Exciting times! Thank you for putting this video together! And thanks for the shoutout! Great having you through Krampusnacht, Welcome to Respite and hopefully Gumball Dreams soon!
It would be cool if they had a convention like twitchcon both in real life and in VR, and they could have a screen in the conference hall and a virtual screen in the same location in VR both facing opposite ways and you could see people in IRL and on the screen they could see you in the virtual world, It would be awesome and trippy.
Never been to one. I'm autistic and don't do well with people. VR chat makes me horrendously uncomfortable. But I have an app, DXR formerly DVVR that allows me to use custom models, music and motions that I totally love. Spend an hour dancing most nights, often more and rarely less.
I do agree, and disagree. I'm not focusing really 100% on VR games tbh, and I think that VR has more possibilities than that. Thanks to your video about rave clubs (and my recent readdiction of DJing xD), I would love more DJ concerts in VR, but at the level of Fortnite events for example! I would love that, and maybe I would support the idea too! Oh, and concerts in both IRL and VR are AWESOMEEEEEEE! I want to develop that too! I love the new intro too, I love this video! Thank you PHIA! 3:03 ok you had me xD
Honestly, the possibilities are endless 😱 Idk if this is already a thing, but it would be awesome to have virtual replicas of real-world locations for travel enthusiasts. I remember a gaming RUclipsr I watch sometimes had a virtual getaway in Second Life to a real-world area of New York. She went with some friends and it was basically just like a girls’ trip vlog. I’m sure it’s already possible, but I’d love to just point to any part of a map and be able to go there for a couple hours in VR. Oh, and comedy shows. I need to laugh once in a while 😂
I love this video. It has a bunch of cool stuff I didn't know about even while I'm following a bunch of other VR channels. Great job finding unique subject!
I've noticed a few of my friends already have a Nevermet account up and were sharing their bios and I didn't even know what the app was called until now so that explains it.
I think vr is definitely gonna take over and I was just thinking how much more accessible concerts and live events and even other places will be with vr. It will replace the need for airplanes trains or travel and make the cool vision of tomorrow where everything u could ever wanna do can be don't at home. I think that's super cool. Imagine being able to read and buy books and stuff within the world of vr. Man vr seems to have way more potential than ever dared dreamed I look forward to it
VR is not just VR, it will become a concept recognized by everyone. Starting from the game side, then expanding to music, movies and other fields, and then developing to all walks of life, perhaps VR will set off a revolution like smartphones, completely changing people's lives, and its upper limit may even exceed smartphones.
I disagree on the wording that VR's future is NOT games. I'd argue that the better wording is that it's not JUST games. Games can still be pushed so much farther with VR if we make the right advancements, but I also agree that VR shouldn't be limited EXCLUSIVELY to games, either. I've said in the past that I hate games that are 'experiences' but I've realized over the 10k hours I've spent in VR that what I actually hate are VR experiences that play themselves off as video games. If you sit down to play a game and instead all you get is cutscene simulator, that's disappointing. On the other hand, I found things like the two Spice and Wolf VR experiences (where you're put in the role of Craft Lawrence as he and Holo take shelter from the rain in an old mill) to be really enjoyable... when that type of content is what I'm intentionally sitting down for.
I agree. Games are currently what's allowing the medium to thrive and it has it will always carry these formative creators along. Not to mention that VR-games are currently doing precious pipneering work for all the other forms of entertainment that might one day be possible in VR - games are laying the technical groundwork and equip the creators with experience for how to create a VR experience. Since that type of knowledge is currently concentrated in the gaming sphere, project that VR games will always be the first to try out a new technology before it trickles down to another sphere of VR
@@knight_lautrec_of_carim I don't know, when I see what people have already done in VRChat, NeosVR etc. and how fast the development there improve, I'm not sure if gaming will be that important for VR anymore. Gaming will be a huge part, but it will not be the main part, only one piece from many other pieces.
One of my friends celebrated his birthday so I couldn't attend the Shelter event. I heard it was wild, though. He was having his own event at the arcade starring 5 sets including his own. In fact, I had so much fun I stayed right until the end at 6:30 am CEST. What a bizarre feeling to take off your headset and see the sunrise. I am enjoying this over a cup of coffee, right now. Phia, thank you so much for introducing me to the clubbing scene, a few weeks back! If it wasn't for Thrill and your event at Tube I would still be waiting to venture into VRChat and wouldn't have made so many friends in such a short time. Really hope to meet you live, once again!
Imagine walking down the street wearing Augmented Reality goggles, and seeing someone else with the same goggles, and suddenly they throw a virtual pokeball at you from across the street and now you're having a pokemon fight that you guys, and any passerbys wearing goggles, can see just going off on each other
Amazing video Phia! Very eye-opening to the near-future possibilities of VR! Thanks for including us on your journey through both reality and virtual reality =)
VR can be a lot more, it is already used for house design for new owner or movie set design like for the mandalorian serie. Also just some ideas: work meeting to collaborate on construction plan from anywhere, phobia treatment (height, spider, social anxiety, etc), tele-operation of robotic arms on mobile robot, risk free human-robot interaction simulation, military training for operation in any location, virtual shop with 3d item of real item for visualization instead of image on web site, risk free skill learning like flight simulation, stress reduce environment for autistic person to communicate with other and thing we can even imagine right now like training A.I. in a simulated world the way we would train a person.
Vr gaming is cool. Social vr is also cool. Vr meetings are a thing, however rare they are, which is also cool. But what about vr sports? We would need higher tech than what is available, but there are already vr concert and sporting event seats being integrated into the scene. I can see vr sports becoming a real thing as well. If we think about it, beat saber is a great example of what a current gen vr e-sport could look like. There are also some fire fighting and police schools that implement vr in their training regimens. We may be a bit off from a full vr sporting scene, but I believe it could be done.
Totally agree - I think music events in VR in general is an area that should really excel. However, i'm a little lost at trying to find what's out there currently
My family and friends spent most Fridays at the beginning of the pandemic watching 3d videos in bigscreen. They haven't really changed up any of the movies though so haven't done it in a while.
This is all great! I've started work-from-home in VR, just for the huge virtual big screen and environments. I also would love to see something like Dreams PS4's strong in-app creation and collaboration tools mixed with social spaces. I'm still confused and intimidated by VRChat and most movement in vr is nauseating for me. 😅😓 ...looking forward to a cheaper omnidirectional treadmill to potentially fix this for me (
some people in my area actually made a vr game for raves called “the rave game” during covid. things are being added still but its functional and theyve held a few all day music events already! a dj group from around here had an all day event from 11am-11pm with a new dj every hour. they streamed it on twitch too incase you couldnt make it. its really cool! if anyone is interested i could show you the website (:
One of my favorite games is I Expect You to Die 2. The original is fun, but it's more a parody. IEYTD2 tells a great story, telling clever jokes and having you go through and solve puzzles to progress. While it's still a game and linear storytelling, I loved every minute of it and played it for five hours when it came out. It doesn't do much to push the boundaries of VR, but it does so much more to make you feel like the Spy facing off against the Liar.
I am EXTREMELY into the concept of VR concerts. I went to my first VR show at Tube for you and Thrill's event and it blew my mind. I'm super impressed by the VRC DJ/Electronic scene, but I'd also love to see performers of other genres like rock take off in VRC as well. As a guitarist and drummer, my dream is to be able to play these instruments in VRC with fully tracked instruments, and while I'm basically a complete novice in VRC avatar creation, I've seen a few vids and resources online that make me think that it's possible. I want to try to learn more about avatars and stuff and try to figure out how to do it. My ultimate goal would be to form a small 2 person band, either guitar and drums or bass and drums to be able to play shows together in VRC. With the current limitations of latency, my and my bandmate would have to be performing in the same room both wearing headsets, but I feeeeeel like it's possible. Gonna keep researching and looking into it...
That should be definitely possible. I'm sure there are enough other peoples who are also interested in such things and who can also help you on the technical part. For tracking the instruments lighthouse with Tundra/Vive Trackers could help.
@@blizado3675 Totally! For guitars, I've seen someone use a dynamic bones setup similar to what you would use for an avatar carrying a two handed gun. I think if you pined the guitar body as a pivot to your waist, and then had your left hand as a sliding one to the guitar neck, you wouldn't actually have to track the IRL guitar itself. If you wore a quest 2 controller as a bracelet and set everything up properly, your avatar hand on the VR guitar neck would match pretty closely to your IRL hand on the IRL guitar... at least that's how I imagine it working in my mind haha! Surprised I haven't been able to find youtube vids of anyone doing this already actually! Maybe there are limitations I'm not familiar with, but it seems pretty doable! You'd be playing guitar blind of course, but most relatively skilled players (which I DO NOT count myself as tbh lol) could pull this off no problem.
I would like to see a MMO in VR that's as good as something like WoW or such like was when it was first released. I think there is a lot to work out but I think when something truly fleshed out with modern AAA appeal that has both realism and an intuitive system, people will flock to VR. It's getting better, it's getting affordable. It now needs that wow factor. When the original play station arrived, it changed everything. Before that, only PC gamers had seen anything like it. Games like tomb raider let people see what was possible. Before that, it was 2d pixles... games were flat. Once developers figure it out, something will be made that showcases VR in a way that does what the play station did back in the 90s. It will change everything, I'm pretty sure of that.
The virtual self is worthless by today's standards. But that's what a blackout couldn't fix, like the last time Facebook went offline for an extended period of time
Yrwh I don't even really play video games rhesw days any more. And I used to be a hardcore gamer. But with vr I can run simulators, excercise. Movies. Hardly video games to say the least
This is all pretty awesome! I'm so afraid I'm going to miss it all, or by the time it's integrated into daily life like a smartphone, it's super Zucky. I don't want to miss it... I'm almost 40, my wife isn't into VR at all, and basically none of my friends are either. And I only have about ~3-4 hours a week tops to spend in VR. And every time I try it's slow, cumbersome, I don't know the 'controls' well enough, or I spend most of my time trying to find some people that aren't acting completely silly. I just wish I had more control over my time in VR. If I go to a bar IRL to get a burger/beer and socialize, I know what I need to do to be successful. When I go in VR, I just never seem to be able to figure out how to get a great experiences out of my time investment. I basically only use my Quest to watch media and exercise. I never feel like I even get close to the "metaverse"...
Secret VR clubs is the dumbest idea in my opinion. I guess some people prefer playing Social clique simulator where only the cool kids are allowed. The same type of people that have everyone's avatar off by default.
Great opportunity out there. I mostly have been using VR for making art. Such a wealth of creation apps out there like gravity sketch, vermillion, and open brush. Really want to join that Alien Rescue experience since I heard so many great things!
I’m wanting to make my Owen avatars from scratch but i have no knowledge of how to do it and my reason is I’ve been scammed of $300 for my commission so I wondering what I would need?
Lil off topic but: Ever since I played trough Cyberpunk 2077 I cant get the Braindance thingy out of my head. I think there is a good chance that we will have developed something similar until 2077. Who needs all the VR Equipment when you can just be right there basically in person feeling and seeing everything. Its gonna traumatize people for sure like imagine knowing what is feels like to get shot and die or run y racecar into a barrier at 200mph.
Who takes clients to do this? .......I think it would be helpful to create an interactive, step-by-step program to help get people into the social aspect of VR starting w VR chat. An onboarding into VR introductory "course". But, in VR. This way, interacting in VR would be part of the program and help the client learn quickly. Maybe on a client basis. If anyone knows anyone who does that, I could use it and would perhaps be a paying client. I need help with an avatar, a comprehensive rundown of how to integrate accounts (Quest/Steam?VR Chat, etc) help to find places to socialize w reasonable adults (perhaps help w discord and potentially hosting a server - as I work in tech and have the gear), etc etc. I am not limited by hardware. I have mics, production/editing/studio equipment, etc. I just spend so much time in my specialized fields. I will be searching gig sites as well. Any advice? Thanks

Gaming will be a huge part, but it will not be the main part, only one piece from many other pieces.
3:02 You did NOT just rick roll us! ugh
the rick roll in the back aoiwdjoijdw
Very interesting video. You won a subscriber because of this.
Hello from garbaj :)
POV: you look behind phia in the first part

RICK ROLLED everyone! Great job on everything
One of my friends celebrated his birthday so I couldn't attend the Shelter event. I heard it was wild, though.
He was having his own event at the arcade starring 5 sets including his own. In fact, I had so much fun I stayed right until the end at 6:30 am CEST. What a bizarre feeling to take off your headset and see the sunrise. I am enjoying this over a cup of coffee, right now.
Phia, thank you so much for introducing me to the clubbing scene, a few weeks back! If it wasn't for Thrill and your event at Tube I would still be waiting to venture into VRChat and wouldn't have made so many friends in such a short time. Really hope to meet you live, once again!
Imagine walking down the street wearing Augmented Reality goggles, and seeing someone else with the same goggles, and suddenly they throw a virtual pokeball at you from across the street and now you're having a pokemon fight that you guys, and any passerbys wearing goggles, can see just going off on each other
Amazing video Phia! Very eye-opening to the near-future possibilities of VR! Thanks for including us on your journey through both reality and virtual reality =)
"Dennou Coil" must watch anime when it comes to VR/AR and a little vision of the future.
3:02 big fan of the rick roll going on the screen in the background
Phia casually Rick Rolling everyone with Rick Astley playing in the background 👍
VR can be a lot more, it is already used for house design for new owner or movie set design like for the mandalorian serie. Also just some ideas: work meeting to collaborate on construction plan from anywhere, phobia treatment (height, spider, social anxiety, etc), tele-operation of robotic arms on mobile robot, risk free human-robot interaction simulation, military training for operation in any location, virtual shop with 3d item of real item for visualization instead of image on web site, risk free skill learning like flight simulation, stress reduce environment for autistic person to communicate with other and thing we can even imagine right now like training A.I. in a simulated world the way we would train a person.
We got rickrolled by the TV on the backgrounds
Also love the content
3:03 I bet nobody has found the Easter Egg here.
If you're talking about the music video playing in the background while she talks about music videos in VR? I totally saw it there.
your VR stage will be pretty kool!
Imagine d&d and larping in VR! 🤯
Vr gaming is cool. Social vr is also cool. Vr meetings are a thing, however rare they are, which is also cool.
But what about vr sports?
We would need higher tech than what is available, but there are already vr concert and sporting event seats being integrated into the scene. I can see vr sports becoming a real thing as well.
If we think about it, beat saber is a great example of what a current gen vr e-sport could look like.
There are also some fire fighting and police schools that implement vr in their training regimens.
We may be a bit off from a full vr sporting scene, but I believe it could be done.
Amazing! Phia is always on the inside track of all things happening in VR. Great content!
Totally agree - I think music events in VR in general is an area that should really excel. However, i'm a little lost at trying to find what's out there currently
My family and friends spent most Fridays at the beginning of the pandemic watching 3d videos in bigscreen. They haven't really changed up any of the movies though so haven't done it in a while.
You could do online shopping with VR and it would be easier to pay order and see what deals there are
Im just intrigued to see where the future for vr is going. And im ready for the ride
Hey phia, love the intro. whether it was what I said or not I love the short and sweetness of it. Absolutely perfect.
7:04 OMG IS THAT MEEE?!
Thanks, Phia! You do important work!
Really enjoyed this latest video, love the increased pace and the hopefull look for the future, hope to catch you amd ThrillSeeker in vrc one day ^w^
I'm looking forward to experiencing the Virtual Reality Show network!
I use my VR headset on my PlayStation to watch 3D movies. Shits dope
YESS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS AH!
This is all great! I've started work-from-home in VR, just for the huge virtual big screen and environments. I also would love to see something like Dreams PS4's strong in-app creation and collaboration tools mixed with social spaces. I'm still confused and intimidated by VRChat and most movement in vr is nauseating for me. 😅😓 ...looking forward to a cheaper omnidirectional treadmill to potentially fix this for me (
Good to see you again Phia! We've missed you!
Have you ever covered phantom sense. It's a common term in vrchat. And something I want to build up
I think ther is enormous untapped potential here for education
dang it all 3:02 we just got rick rolled boy's and girl's
You Rick rolled us all Phia
Gaming + film = gilm
I’d love to jump into some of my favorite films like they do in the Ready Player One books. That’d be sick!
Personally I just enjoy using my headset for games but everyone likes their own thing
Thanks for the video. I'm so excited for the future of our beloved Vr headsets.
some people in my area actually made a vr game for raves called “the rave game” during covid. things are being added still but its functional and theyve held a few all day music events already! a dj group from around here had an all day event from 11am-11pm with a new dj every hour. they streamed it on twitch too incase you couldnt make it. its really cool! if anyone is interested i could show you the website (:
One of my favorite games is I Expect You to Die 2. The original is fun, but it's more a parody. IEYTD2 tells a great story, telling clever jokes and having you go through and solve puzzles to progress. While it's still a game and linear storytelling, I loved every minute of it and played it for five hours when it came out. It doesn't do much to push the boundaries of VR, but it does so much more to make you feel like the Spy facing off against the Liar.
Ayyyy we have the same kind of office chair
I want a "game" based on the old movie Inner space
I am EXTREMELY into the concept of VR concerts. I went to my first VR show at Tube for you and Thrill's event and it blew my mind. I'm super impressed by the VRC DJ/Electronic scene, but I'd also love to see performers of other genres like rock take off in VRC as well. As a guitarist and drummer, my dream is to be able to play these instruments in VRC with fully tracked instruments, and while I'm basically a complete novice in VRC avatar creation, I've seen a few vids and resources online that make me think that it's possible. I want to try to learn more about avatars and stuff and try to figure out how to do it. My ultimate goal would be to form a small 2 person band, either guitar and drums or bass and drums to be able to play shows together in VRC. With the current limitations of latency, my and my bandmate would have to be performing in the same room both wearing headsets, but I feeeeeel like it's possible. Gonna keep researching and looking into it...
That should be definitely possible. I'm sure there are enough other peoples who are also interested in such things and who can also help you on the technical part. For tracking the instruments lighthouse with Tundra/Vive Trackers could help.
@@blizado3675 Totally! For guitars, I've seen someone use a dynamic bones setup similar to what you would use for an avatar carrying a two handed gun. I think if you pined the guitar body as a pivot to your waist, and then had your left hand as a sliding one to the guitar neck, you wouldn't actually have to track the IRL guitar itself. If you wore a quest 2 controller as a bracelet and set everything up properly, your avatar hand on the VR guitar neck would match pretty closely to your IRL hand on the IRL guitar... at least that's how I imagine it working in my mind haha! Surprised I haven't been able to find youtube vids of anyone doing this already actually! Maybe there are limitations I'm not familiar with, but it seems pretty doable! You'd be playing guitar blind of course, but most relatively skilled players (which I DO NOT count myself as tbh lol) could pull this off no problem.
I would like to see a MMO in VR that's as good as something like WoW or such like was when it was first released. I think there is a lot to work out but I think when something truly fleshed out with modern AAA appeal that has both realism and an intuitive system, people will flock to VR. It's getting better, it's getting affordable. It now needs that wow factor. When the original play station arrived, it changed everything. Before that, only PC gamers had seen anything like it. Games like tomb raider let people see what was possible. Before that, it was 2d pixles... games were flat. Once developers figure it out, something will be made that showcases VR in a way that does what the play station did back in the 90s. It will change everything, I'm pretty sure of that.
vr films are straight out of "Ready Player One" lol
The virtual self is worthless by today's standards. But that's what a blackout couldn't fix, like the last time Facebook went offline for an extended period of time
NOOO THE RICK ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yrwh I don't even really play video games rhesw days any more. And I used to be a hardcore gamer. But with vr I can run simulators, excercise. Movies. Hardly video games to say the least
i can't believe i got rickrolled 3:00
Thank you Phia, your insight is always appreciated.💖🌈👍😁
I’m interested in VR movies. Otherwise, it’s just about the games for me
Great one Phia!!!
I yearn for when this becomes reality
This is all pretty awesome! I'm so afraid I'm going to miss it all, or by the time it's integrated into daily life like a smartphone, it's super Zucky. I don't want to miss it...
I'm almost 40, my wife isn't into VR at all, and basically none of my friends are either. And I only have about ~3-4 hours a week tops to spend in VR. And every time I try it's slow, cumbersome, I don't know the 'controls' well enough, or I spend most of my time trying to find some people that aren't acting completely silly.
I just wish I had more control over my time in VR. If I go to a bar IRL to get a burger/beer and socialize, I know what I need to do to be successful. When I go in VR, I just never seem to be able to figure out how to get a great experiences out of my time investment.
I basically only use my Quest to watch media and exercise. I never feel like I even get close to the "metaverse"...
If you ever need some tips I can throw you some tips
Secret VR clubs is the dumbest idea in my opinion. I guess some people prefer playing Social clique simulator where only the cool kids are allowed. The same type of people that have everyone's avatar off by default.
i hate the random rickroll
Great opportunity out there. I mostly have been using VR for making art. Such a wealth of creation apps out there like gravity sketch, vermillion, and open brush. Really want to join that Alien Rescue experience since I heard so many great things!
hey that second game looked cool asf what is it?
I’m wanting to make my Owen avatars from scratch but i have no knowledge of how to do it and my reason is I’ve been scammed of $300 for my commission so I wondering what I would need?
Anyone ever used those apps where you writs your own story and the AI will generate it just imagine that in VR.
AI generated games could be cool and or trippy
Lil off topic but:
Ever since I played trough Cyberpunk 2077 I cant get the Braindance thingy out of my head. I think there is a good chance that we will have developed something similar until 2077. Who needs all the VR Equipment when you can just be right there basically in person feeling and seeing everything. Its gonna traumatize people for sure like imagine knowing what is feels like to get shot and die or run y racecar into a barrier at 200mph.
Who takes clients to do this? .......I think it would be helpful to create an interactive, step-by-step program to help get people into the social aspect of VR starting w VR chat. An onboarding into VR introductory "course". But, in VR. This way, interacting in VR would be part of the program and help the client learn quickly. Maybe on a client basis. If anyone knows anyone who does that, I could use it and would perhaps be a paying client. I need help with an avatar, a comprehensive rundown of how to integrate accounts (Quest/Steam?VR Chat, etc) help to find places to socialize w reasonable adults (perhaps help w discord and potentially hosting a server - as I work in tech and have the gear), etc etc. I am not limited by hardware. I have mics, production/editing/studio equipment, etc. I just spend so much time in my specialized fields. I will be searching gig sites as well. Any advice? Thanks
3:55 lmao
Vr is wii with 360 view on your head.
VR will make motion capture work easier.
