Well done. Facebook (sorry, "Meta"): "Reality Labs has now lost more than $45 billion since the end of 2020, when Meta first began reporting the business segment separately."
Yes, billion with a B.
That's an insane amount of money. I don't even want to go into the whole "think how many hospitals could have been funded with that money".
Quick reminder that @element built a metaverse that works better than anything Facebook has shown, for a fraction of the investment, and built entirely on free and open source technology including @matrix : https://thirdroom.io/
Everyone who tried the Apple #VisionPro is saying that it’s way better than any other headsets out there.
If #Apple enables support for some kind of passthrough for computer VR programs/games (NOT limited to macOS, bringing to Linux and even Windows too) and for motion controllers, a whole new market will open for this product.
People with a big budget looking for a high-quality VR headset will get the Vision Pro as their first option if this becomes a feature.
Please, Apple! Let VR gamers have a high-quality headset!
(And for its price, being able to use it with computers is like the very least lmao - even cheap ones like the Quest have a way of doing this)
VisionOS is own OS. Vision Pro is own computer with 2 CPU and you don't need a Mac for it.
Vision Pro is not just a headset.
What you will need is then mass of database storage for VR. This will come then from clouds I bet.
Asset database clouds will be then useless for any other system than Vision OS the Vision Pro works with.
Or you let VR run over an Internet browser like Safari or Firefox like #thirdroom is doing already. Then it doesn't matter what OS you have. But then you can only use Vision OS for the headset and there you have Safari anyway installed. For real VR like the feeling you have already with Vision Pro then you don't need any other computer than the Vision Pro because this IS already the computer. Not a headset.
It may be a pancake. It may neither have easy support for VR headsets nor guarantee you 60fps even if you get it to run through a VR headset. But it was there before all of you. It used the term #Metaverse many years before any one of you had even heard of it.
The #Hypergrid, the interconnection between #OpenSimulator grids, is 15 years old this year. And yes, #OpenSim is actually #decentralised like you wouldn't believe. Over 420 big and small public grids and over 8,000 privately-run, home-hosted grids based on #DreamGrid, over 95% of which are on the Hypergrid, say a lot, I guess.
