A computer like this rendered every animated movie you've ever seen. A computer more expensive than this runs every website you've ever logged in to. A computer a hundred times more expensive than this has processed every bank payment you've ever made.

You're not achieving what you think you are.

cool r/eattherich

You are describing hell.

Mac Pros are commercial machines meant for heavy rendering tasks. Computers of this class can cost upwards of $200k. In fact, the most powerful computer Dell will let you spec costs $400,000 and comes with 7.5 TB of RAM.

These things the quest 2 “collects” are just used to run VR, you’re not getting targeted ads based on it.

I don’t really agree with this take. They explained a really long term vision, and people are upset it hasn’t happened yet, even if they were talking about 10 years into the future.

The real world is already so complicated to live and why the hell we need an alternative and yet parallel world. The same issues in the real world will come up in the metaverse eventually.

"If we suddenly didn’t have access to the supply chain we do now. DSLR cameras would not be possible at scale."

If we suddenly didn't have access to the supply chain as we do now, his camera wouldn't be possible but higher quality cameras would be. As I already explained, hobbiest parts are last in line.

I don't think you read the article or if you did you don't understand any of it. The "new" part wasn't using an esp32cam. There have been thousands of people making esp32 cameras before this person. Tens of thousands of others have purchased Pi cam modules.

The new part was using ePaper instead of an lcd.

As the creator said, his ePaper camera is an interesting concept where you can take a single permanent photo. When you take another photo, your previous photo is lost forever.

The camera part, that you've been obsessed about, is completely irrelevant.

Shall we go over the differences between “bad” and “new”? I know u get hot for some semantics bb.

>Which would mean we would need to envision something new.

???? How do you go from I can't get bad sensors when there is a supply chain problem to, "I need to make a camera with a bad sensor."

Again, it's cool as an art idea.

Which would mean we would need to envision something new. You gotta make things that no one else is making and deal with good little people who can’t see beyond what’s already possible.

I already explained it earlier and you continued with your nonsense.

Referring to the "era" is still nonsense as I already explained that there are plenty of better sensors. Your "what if" about "supply chain" doesn't make any sense. When the supply chain dried up last year, hobbiest components became impossible to get. $35 Pi's were selling for $150.

If you don’t know what I’m trying to say you can just ask for clarification. When people bring up a Dslr camera they generally aren’t talking about literal DSLR just the fucking era in cameras. Jesus you egos are impossible to talk too. Fckn photographers man.

I really hope the higher refresh and resolution makes it easier when psvr2 comes out next week😅

Metaverse is a complete rip off of second life. Second life has been around for over a decade. The metaverse is not new or original in any way.

I'd be amazed if they don't sue.

VR right now is a fine fun gimmick. I enjoy it but we aren't really there yet. Haptic feedback will really help things, lighter and easier goggles and the ability to move or walk on the spot will help things tremendously.

Finally only 1 AAA company is taking VR games seriously and thats Valve. Stress Level Zero did really well with Boneworks and Warpfrog as well but they don't have the man power or resources many of these massive studios do who simply don't really care about VR.

Could you imagine if they did Skyrim VR properly? Or Fallout? There isn't enough in VR at the moment to attract people.

But I think next gen that will change a fair bit.

Looks like a cheese grater. Was that thing designed by Jony Chives?

>some killer feature here no one understands about the metaverse?

Yes and no. Theres a lot of confusion and misdirection when it comes to the Metaverse. And there are still lots of technology shortcomings.

The best description I have seen is that the Metaverse is the internet, but designed for new human interfaces: namely augmented reality and virtual reality. Much like the internet this is more about a set of widely adopted protocols, technologies and standards.

Also it still doesn't exist yet. Things like VRchat do not provide open standards or interoperability.

Haha vr sickness go brrr

I told my friends the future of metaverse lies in virtual porn/sex, just like all these sci-fi movies described.

Bingo!!!!

Then came 97, and what happened? ............Doh!!! 🤣

Idiots never learn

The ability to recreate an office space rather than just constant zoom meetings is almost un comparable. The amount of zoom calls I would need just between my co workers is the main reason we don’t work from home. Having a cyber office space where I can walk into anyone’s office and get the information I need is huge. It’s like being in a MMORPG but for work.

I meant just WFH like regular no need the metaverse

Huh??? I’m still working, just from home and not wasting an extra hour and a half getting ready for work, the commute there and back. I think the point has completely whooshed over your head there.
