I think mark has gone past that phase of entrepreneurial nervousness or criticism. He is fully committed to this project. Even if he fails, the amount of by-products will change the face of the tech in our world.
You mean mind control. There is a reason why meta is failing so badly.
When has Zuck ever been sensitive to criticism. He happens to be right about the potential of mixed reality, because he's not completely stupid, but he sucks as a person. He should take criticism more seriously.
2022: Don't text and drive
2032: Don't use hand gestures and drive
2042: Don't drive
probably alot sooner than that
@@kninja1434 dystopian future.
that's pretty realistic and accurate, considering over 40.000 deaths caused by faulty human driving i'd vote for autonomous driving only.
lol in 5 years
They need a Steve Jobs to translate this to something for a human to use.
We need Steve Jobs.
Coming soon
These are lizards and aliens 😂
Says a socialist?
Yeah this whole this is stupid
Great video, with commitment from renowned companies like Meta and the resources committed to the Metaverse so far, and the rapid advance made in infrastructure and projects like StepApp, XANA, Decentraland, Sandbox already in the system, Metaverse is here to stay.
Great video, I think I have more of an appreciation for the work being done here. People have been memeing on Meta, but they're putting in the work to develop this cool tech.
People think they spend the 10 billion a year on horizons world when in reality it's tech development.
Kinda cool for fisher price age groupz!! Like wtf is that bs even needed or for the itony FB grabs users info yet is fn clueless on what its users need want this cartoonish crap is cringe and its a $18 billion project znd counting wtf!
@@ezragonzalez8936 This is development at it's finest. If you're not interested by this and unable to see future possibilities, you're just dumb.
@CantWait happier than Meta stockholders! Lol 80% in 8 months has marky mark used his own billions as a side project like spacex no one would care its godam awful. Wait his avatar now has cgi legs and looks more human than in real life!! Lol good grief! But cheers from Park City Utah!
@@ezragonzalez8936 meta will be worth at least 15x more the stock price 10 years from now
10 years ago they bought Instagram
10 years before that they didn’t even exist
Give them 10 years.. Mark will take over again
Facebook is a social media company, and they aren’t the first but they became the biggest. Facebook was also made before the iPhone, despite most people’s usage of Facebook coming from iPhone or at least smart phone. They are just doing the same thing again.. Building the social media platforms that will become the place to interact with people online. It’s only valuable if the hardware becomes 2nd nature to people in the future. This time around instead of waiting for another company to build the iPhone and for Facebook to just be software on some other company’s hardware, they are deciding to build their own version of the iPhone to house their next Facebook on
Well done. I didn't know what Meta was spending their money on until now
yeah there's a lot of haters, but most are uneducated.
billions of dollars for this............ I say ridiculous
@@2faf3dafafd It took billions of dollars of investment to create the phone you type on. R&D into new technology takes massive amounts of capital whether you like it or not.
@@nafis_rk so you are comparing this with iPhone? Lol
same. Now I see the vision of the Metaverse being somewhat realistic, but it takes a lot of times still. and money for research and development. Investors dont like that
I've been a computer geek since 1979. The thought of just replicating yourself in a virtual world where you could be almost anything is about the most boring thing I can think of for VR. In a virtual world, I don't want to be what I really am, I want to be what I can't be in the real world. Be a little more creative. The ancient Egyptians dreamed that after death they could be anything. We could technically achieve that within our lives. And all Meta can think of is to scan our real bodies? I'm already enough "myself" in real life. I don't have to be that in the virtual world as well.
thats high level tech, meta is doing very well and leading the space by far
hahahahaha
Looking forward for the future of immersive technologies
Why?
To play amazing games, why else
@@scottrose8417 why not?
I can imagine going to a restaurant and ordering food with AR on the table to see what the dish looks like before ordering
Holographic Meatloaf! My favorite!
Sooo a picture lik most menus already have
good idea!
@@TheTmackin So when someone sets a plate of food in front of you, does it like exactly like a picture to you? Do you only have 1 working eye my dude? I don't think you get it.
@@WigganNuG If the food is so unremarkable that it needs a VR experience to entice people to eat it, maybe you should eat in a restaurant that chose to invest its capital in skilled chefs and quality ovens.
The problem with companies like Facebook is that they think they have something of value to offer *every* business.
scanning objects with phone and then seeing them in VR - you could simulate all the important places on Earth pretty quickly and open up so many possibilites like urban planning
You can do that with paper and your hands this adds nothing. Are you guys smoking meth? Finding ways to turn a $10 job into a $10,000,000 one
@@user-account-not-found tf are talking about
You can already do that with any phone and polycam
@@goatpepperherbaltea7895 needs lots of cleanup?
it's not how you do urban planning. What you do is to sketch buildings and all stuff in 3D design software and have them displayed all together.
Very cool stuff being developed!
I can see Meta transforming into consumer electronics and wearable tech company. Combined with their software capabilities, I think Meta will be the future leader in Media & Entertainment world too.
it's fascinating the tools we have use of now. Exciting stuff
obvious bot is obvious
They are going all in on this. If they succeed then they will succeed big time!
@@CB-rv2lj not a bot, probably just Indian.
Excellent coverage!
All these things will be built amazing technology on the VR and AR devices. So awesome to see what some really smart people that work together can create 😍
Honestly at first I wasn’t really on the whole meta verse train but within the last couple months, I’ve kind of become more interested in what they are doing. Mainly due to the fact they are just doing what google was trying to do with google glasses a long time ago
Apple secretly noting down all the application before it's really practical for general consumers. And then Boom, a revolutionary product.
Like metaverse lol?
@@ryansmithc it's just an experiment. Look at NFT's value now. haha
That's Steve Jobs. He's gone now, Apple is just an empty shell now
In the future all furniture could come with their own 3d scan codes. To import functional furniture into AR/VR without having to scan yourself.
just imagine homebuyers being able to scan all the possible furniture in an empty house while they do the tour.
This has been around for over a decade. Most of the furniture you buy online already has a 3D model to be downloaded for free and added to architectural projects.
@@misteriocraftgames Totally agree with you on that,rendering 3d models in pictures.
i meant in real time visits.
Meta is bringing in a new type of technology to the world and in some years it’ll become as normal as what smartphones have became.
That about sums it all up. Meta is definitely misunderstood
This is really cool, but do you ever get the feeling when you’re watching a video you know people 50 years from now will watch it and laugh. Kind of how we do with early internet videos.
Every time!
And it is like two minute papers say. "Don't look at where we are now. Always look two papers down the line".
Great video! Wearable Devices’ Mudra band also performs neurological detection but using surface nerve conductance which has shown to be far more accurate than CTRL Labs’ muscle-based device at precision gesture and pressure control.
i know its not good for business and the shareholders might not like it but since when has innovating been frowned upon so much. The metaverse marketing might be a bit cringe but Im honestly excited so much money is being put into new experimental technology that will one day be available to the general public
Thank you. Amazing display
This is awesome! Nothing is deeper than the drive of man!
❤️✌🏾🦅💯😳🤔
The Holy Spirit works better. It cuts right through BS, and everything hidden. Great device if used for the betterment of people not, for any other reason.
Prayerfully, it’s safe for everybody even our love ones.
Thanks for sharing.
God bless you❤️✌🏾🦅
Meta actually becoming a future tech company
Yeah love it
Fantastic video. Really cool technology. Would love to see all of it materialize.
It is not going to
It won’t
It won’t
This is all garbage lol.
Amazing! Imagine if they combine the wristband tech with a virtual small screen held in your other hand in the metaverse where you can use your fingers to tap the screen and type sms messages to all the people you want to tell about your amazing experience in virtual reality!
How is that a remotly decent user experience compared to whats already here ? 😂 I can already use ZERO hands and say.... "hey ***, send, .... your txt .... to mom". How's a wrist band that tracks microreactions more pleasant to use than just typing? You'll have to employ your cognitive/neurological movement focus while watching that virtual display anyway, so wheather you "type" into thin air while looking at a virtual display or typing on a flat surface while looking at that surface, it doesn't really give you more capability - it just sounds futuristic, but very limited usecase really. I can see how this is relevant to people who are paralized in their fingers but not their wrist. my guess would be that that is less than a fraction of a permille of people alive.
@@rpals5412 you wont send (using speaking) secret chats in public
@@jamie3226 not sure if you read the entire comment, but I was making a comparison between typing on your phone screen versus. doing micro reactions with you hand/wrist while watching a virtual screen on a AR headset. Which to me seems more complicated than useful, I just don't see any real use case for this. That's all
@@rpals5412 I mean, you were mixing comparisons, actually.
Idk about the keyboard and palm idea, but it's pretty obvious that if someone can nail intuitive text input on a device like this with a comfortable wearable display that it will be mega-useful. It's not any one capability or any single instance of a few saved seconds slightly greater comfort individually, it's all of those capabilities and instances of saved time and comfort put together--all day everyday. It will add up, a lot. I remember before I got a smartphone it seemed only a little useful--after all, I could take my laptop places, right? Except my laptop didn't have internet, except my laptop had to be sitting on a surface to be used, except my laptop required wearing a backpack, except my laptop couldn't be put on a dash or bike handlebars for directions, except it was difficult to use my laptop remotely comfortably in bed or on a sofa, except I couldn't walk around playing a podcast or music with my laptop stowed in my pocket.
The leap to wearable computing is similar--it's not that you can't do most of the same things with the old tech, it's that you can do them much better with the new form factor/interface. And some things you wouldn't have done before because they were too unwieldy or slow, you can easily do now.
Examples:
1) You're biking. It's winter. You're wearing thick gloves. Instead of stopping your bike, taking off your gloves, entering your phone's PIN, and opening up your media player to switch your music playlist, you make a couple micro-gestures without even lifting your hand from the handlebar.
2) You're walking through a university on your way to your next class. You have an important and kind of embarrassing text you need to send, but you also don't have time to stop and pull your phone out, and you need to watch where you're going. So instead you type out your text with imperceptible chorded "taps" as you're walking, on a small, semi-transparent virtual display that takes up a lot less of your vision than staring down at your phone would. The "taps" don't even have to be against a surface, and your arms can swing with your gait as they normally would--the taps are just little twitches of movement intention.
3) You're hitting it off with someone at a party, but it's about time to leave. Instead of breaking gaze and awkwardly fumbling with one another's phones to exchange numbers, you say your goodbyes gracefully while making a few quick micro-gestures to pop up a contact sharing request on their virtual display.
4) literally, not getting upper cross, cubital tunnel, and carpal tunnel from the repetitive stress and position-locking of touchscreens and keyboards
5) all the time you'll save in a year not pulling out your phone every time you need to do anything digital (5 seconds 30 times a day is 15 hours a year)
6) not having your device screens and input visible to the world around you
7) not having to wash chicken wing sauce or engine grease or whatever off your hands just to skip backward in the movie you're watching or the podcast you're listening to
8) pausing, rewinding, and skipping forward on a youtube first aid or construction video while your hands are occupied helping someone in need or fitting parts together
9) quickly googling product reviews or normal prices or multi-level marketing schemes or LinkedIn profiles, etc. without even revealing you're doing so when it seems like someone is trying to con you
10) not dropping your phone face-down on the sidewalk every 2 years
11) dialing an emergency service or trusted person while you're being held at gunpoint
etc., etc.
@@justtiredthings Really appreciate the long message :) Either your are a Meta employee or shareholder 😂 - or just the most dedicated youtube commentor....... hmmmm ;)
I see your point(s). And I already solve most of these usecases with ------ assistant. Voice commands gets you very far, and they are getting even better with support for reading notifications and even replying to them (and soon we are getting chatGPT with it). I am not saying that this is the final uber most perfect interface. I'd imagine direct brain activity reading would be more powerful and convenient. However it seems like meta is stuck somehwere inbetween, in a useless void. They are demoing a wristband that detects micro muscle nerual activity and uses that as device input - however, it's just a fake/staged demo - and these kinds of demos for the exact same thing have existed for a decade on kickstarter.... Meta aren't any further than a conceptual demo reallly. But nevertheless, my point is still that this idea of doing micro muscle hand gestures to control a interface in your head set display is just rediculous at this point in time... No ones is gonna want to do that, that is my absolute set in stone belif. I'm sure that's gonna change - 15 years from now, when this headset fits inside a contact lens, and the micro gesture reading comes directly from your brain and not from your toes and fingers movement. But meta's bet on this inbetween phase is just hilarious to me. The board members in meta's ability to ignore criticism and to be stubbon about an idea even though all sharehodlers are sellling and exiting, is not just arrogant, it's dangerours - and it might be their fall.
I could be wrong obviously, but I don't think I am. And if I am, I will absolutly admint it, and give HUGE credits to Meta for being stubbon when everyone else was laughin and booing. Time will show 🙂
11:18 probably the coolest thing I've seen.
I love the macbooks that have stickers stick over the apple logo
I don't know. I think Meta is a bit much and nobody is really excited about it. We would need a huge leap in something big with tech to really get people there. When they have something like the Matrix, let me know but right now, we are in the Atari phase with everything. If we could figure out everything with the human brain and how to really interact with it and upload/download stuff, that will be game changing.
One bottleneck is computing power and the other is battery. I am not sure with battery development but computing power will continue to increase and requires less power. No one can tell how fast technology will progress in the future.
Really looking forward to playing the video games that come out of this!!
If this is successful in the next five years cos 2026 is not far away and 2030 will be just right around the corner, and frankly this could a way forward for Meta from becoming a social media website to computer company, Meta Computers Inc.
\they are already called called Meta platforms..
This is really Inspiring
Remember before we got smartphones we had enormous megaphones that barley worked. So I believe meta has a long way to go but they know this and eventually they’ll come up on top as technology and their product improves.
No one ever used megaphones to communicate that was never even their purpose. Wtf
I hate Zuck, and I absolutely do not trust Meta with this tech, but the tech itself is awesome and absolutely what we're headed toward, in some version or another. Whether they can actually financially hold out or gain back enough trust to succeed (they shouldn't--stop investing any trust in Meta) are definitely open questions, but Zuck isn't wrong to recognize AR/VR as the future.
wow ! Saw this and added to meta position. Imagine all the commercial products they could make based on all this research alone !
Welcome to the world of Game Reality
How precise can the finger sensors be though?
Imagine you sent the wrong message and said, "Sorry my arm is twitching."
Welcome to the future
those sensors could be implemented into prosthetic arms, or is it already did?
I saw a graph on the All-In podcast, and it showed how much Meta is going to spend in 10 years compared to the production of the iPhone, Tesla's Model S. Meta will spend 25 billion, the iPhone was produced for 3.6 billion (before Apple saw return of capital), and Tesla spent 5 billion on the Model S. So, you have to ask yourself, is this going to be worth it in the end?
Need this in all emergency rooms and hospitals and doctor's offices
To do what? I didn't see a particular use case for healthcare personnel that should otherwise be focused on providing immediate care for the patients who are present and in need
No, we don't
@@JDubbs07 In the future they want to use this technology to train surgeons for high risk surgery for instance.
Idk but if these tech showed to us normal people that’s means most of the big tech companies already know it and working on their own version. Is fascinating to see technology growing but still we need to wait for other companies to surprise us😂
In this talk, they mention showing eyes on the front of the headset just like Apple Vision Pro... Just goes to show you that Meta has already built similar devices than the Apple Vision Pro in their research labs.
no more Quest ions , thanks for the video!
Its cool and all but I don't see this becoming a thing anytime soon. We're probably 20 years out at best
That will be determined by the gap it bridges. Once everyone helps to 4d scan the world around them, then we will have a true meta verse
SUPER COOL!
The stock got hammered and their was many memes but their research is amazing.
Is that the myo?
are they using Unity Engine for the demos 😍? who noticed Unity's Endless Runner asset
No one wants to waste more time in virtual reality especially after being locked up for 2+ years. Meta should focus on creating real life interaction.
Hey guys
Cool video.
The part where you talk about spatial audio, you mentioned that meta is creating this tech specifically. Well what you were experiencing is not new at all, this technology is not new neither created by meta. There is tons of research in this field
Anyone else here after the '22 Q3 earnings report?
With the development of more powerful energy storage and better computers the Headset will likely evolve. I am envisioning a Tony Stark Sunglasses style product in next few decades
Apple currently does this with an accessibility feature on Apple Watch
This concept has been around since the 80's.
Looking forward to apple’s AR/VR
Great 👍
Not great
I’m telling you meta will be worth a lot of money people are haters man I’ve used vr its awesome love it and the potential is limitless I’m sure we will be watching a 8k movie one day in vr and feeling like we’re in the movie. I’m buying there stock it’s super cheap rn
People said the same about the internet and here we are... we can't live without it. Just have to give them time.
Exactly!… no one is taking the time to research exactly what Meta is doing.
Exactly! Finally I see a commenter with a vision :)
It is worst for mental health plus will make us all slaves to the technology. I’m stunned that people are so naive and support it
It is a good thing for humanity that millionaire like Mark pours his money for making new way of using new techknowledge.
Crazy!🙏🏻
It is only matter of time but it is coming..
It will be the the next big thing.
Basically everyrhing we do on the computer like shopping, gaming, social networking and even work will be transfer to VR or metaverse.
Not gonna lie but that hand gesture device looks pretty cool.
Come back here after massive employees layoff from meta company, what a sight to behold
This tech has already been around for 10 plus years now
lmao You can do this on an Apple Watch since last year (Accessibility hand gestures)
Soon you won't have to move at all.
The ultimate consumer
*20yearslater*
stranger: "Is your kid throwing up gang signs???"
Me: "No, he's doing homework in the metaverse"
1 word singularity - relax boys - go workout
So before, Mark invests everything in Meta, He should make a new service for Facebook where people can have video conference discussions with other people of the same age with similar interests Regardless if they are friends or not, maybe friends of friends involved in the same topics... Make Social Media actually social before trying to reinvent everything with the Meta Verse.
You could also add something that throws rotten tomatoes at someone who is detected as bullying singling out an individual on the service and if they get enough rotten tomatoes they get kicked out of the discussion.
now... this is a idea i would buy into.
why?
@@letspetpuppies Imagine you don't have a mouse on our desk in the future and just a small wrist band.
Meta has bold plans, but its Facebook ad platform still has a fairly poor/clunky interface so that should be a priority first really.
uh what? yea, they should slow down on all this meta verse stuff to fix there "clunky" ad platform on their existing pancake products? Thank god you are not their strategy planner. smh.
6:41 literally a alien
He saw a fully grown man yet he still calls him they. Cattle mentality.
WTF?! they have a AKG K1000 headphone in the lab!
billion dollar company
Just one question, how are they gonna fix that I dont puke after 5mins of moving with a vr set.
I had motion sickness too when I started using VR, but it went away after a week or so. Just use it a little bit at a time and let yourself adjust. Once you're comfortable, VR is awesome.
It's beginning
Is it possible to create virtual smells. Or taste.
Umm u have gesture control already with every apple watch?
A nice look into the future
Might have been better if Zucks had invested in a Stock Market Research Lab.😮😛
The Future is Bright 😀
This. This is the technology I’ve been waiting for.
We need a cardinal system
it will be great when apple start with it
Check the stock. Nuff said
This guy looks like Dr. Eggman's less evil brother.
Buying META when it gets around 70!!!
future is near
Forget the shareholders. Keep innovating. The stock market is starting to have the opposite effect of what it wants. People and companies are so sensitive to stock prices, it's stifling innovation rather than inspiring it. Some cool tech that Meta is working on. Great report and video!
Innovating? Facebook has been a dumpster fire for years. More like ignoring.
looks like "the peripheral" concept
The Real Project Mugen Tsukoyomi💀
That's how he communicates with the mother ship.
Sitting in a reality lab right meow.
He knows Facebook is dead, he is trying to convert the company into a true tech company and not a Ad based company it has been
so can we do the opposite of sensing the neurons and give the same current to them so that we can type faster or such?
I think VR and AR are pretty cool, I’m concerned about what a company like Facebook would be doing with eye tracking though. As an ad company, this is particularly worrisome. I know that the Microsoft Kinect faced pushed back due to that as well.
The eye tracking stays locally on your VR and AR device, it's processed locally and gets deleted after. It's not uploaded to meta servers
Any big tech company would do the exact same things. Meta has just become a scapegoat for this mindset of fear.
I just love everything about this, the big companies should work together to make the real Metaverse happen
Superb!!! But, 20 years too early though🤔
