The Neo-Luddites Are Coming for VR
This time the target is VR platforms like Meta, VR Chat, and vice-versa.
As soon as Mark Zuckerburg released a video about him explaining their new social media rebrand known as Meta. People around youtube have started speculating air out of their arse about VR.
From religious specters to pseudo-scientific morons that talk about science from a science fiction fish eye view. It’s become increasingly challenging to debate how VR will revolutionize the world around us.
And how it already has shaped how we view things. From AR filters on Snapchat and Instagram; to games like Pokemon Go. These technologies have given people a new to connect.
Facebook’s Meta is no different. It’s a VR/AR/MR-XR researcher’s prime fantasy being realized. I would know, I am one of them. For around 3+ years, even before the pandemic, I started my pursuit of researching solutions using VR.
I was able to test how VR could impact classroom learning as well as experiment with various forms of techniques to optimize VR experiences.
So far I have been able to not only immerse myself in the world of VR. But also I have created acceptance around using this technology for the greater good in my social circles. It has been perhaps the best thing…
