Hey, the Zucc looks slightly less creepy as a VR puppet in that propaganda clip. I guess that's something.

For real, though. All of the marketing is "it's coming, it will be everywhere" which makes it sound roughly as appealing and positive as Covid. What is supposed to be the upside to the proles that are being pressured to take this all in? No matter what I read about it, it reads like a threat more than a promise.

    The end goal is to be able to like telecommute with your fortnight character. It is actually better than our current system and if it was done in a non marketized it would be a good part of a revolutionary system. way having friends over to play board games in AR would be rad as shit. Similar going to the DMV in VR would make things way easier.

      Just about everything in techbro hellworld would actually be good and welcome if it wasn't billionaire vampires commanding and controlling it.

      Why the fuck would anyone need to go to the DMV in VR? Literally anything DMV related can be done by filling out a form on a website, which doesn't require A FUCKING VR HEADSET SO I CAN VIRTUALLY WAIT IN LINE.

        This would be easier for some people especially with accebility issues it might be preferable. I am not saying it the best option. But it is a good option with some utility. Maybe the DMV isn't the best example. Doctor's visits maybe. They are right now working on units almost as small as regular glasses. So I could see it being viable before too long.
