It's data about how you're using the device. Data that, without your input, would not have been generated.

Based on that definition, it is personal data.

If I held a paintbrush in front of a rotating canvas I bought, the final product would be my intellectual property, because without my input said product wouldn't have existed. The company that made the canvas, the rotating device, or the brush are not entitled to that final product in any way.

The final product in this metaphor would be my facial expressions and eye movements.

I wouldn’t call this “personal data”. It directly relates to your use of the device and impacts user experience. Under this definition the accelerometer in your phone is capturing personal data about how your hands are oriented.

It’s only a shit load more because it’s Australia. Sorry bud In the US the ultra is $799 which is actually really good price compared to their stainless steel counterparts and previous titanium watch they released. Edit: I also think it looks Badass

Well they're already close to releasing first prototype versions of touch in vr with the hydraulic? gloves to simulate touch. There's a few different companies that have come to similar approach. Plus there's the vr treadmills to simulate movement/touching the ground.

We already have sight, sound.

Now that smell has been thought up, how would they implement taste? I feel like we wouldn't be able to attempt this until we have full vr like sao. Honestly can't see it happening unless we get an implant. Maybe once smellvr has progressed, they can trick us into tasting with smells?

All in all, I would say taste would be the last thing I would want. I don't want someone in vr trolling me by tossing crap at me when I'm talking 🤣
