Meta bought Oculus VR technology in 2014. The attempt to make Meta Quest a mainstream hit cost $8.3 billion this year alone. Despite the lack of enthusiasm from gamers, Mark Zuckerberg does not plan to give up. Since the end of 2020, Oculus VR rebranded as Reality Labs, has accumulated losses of around $50 billion. These are not final amounts; the latest results are even worse than in the first quarter 2024.
Despite the obvious lack of success, Meta is neither giving up nor even slowing down. Efforts in this technology unrelated to gaming have become the subject of jokes, such as Mark Zuckerberg’s infamous VR selfie. The entire Metaverse concept is currently rarely mentioned, although there is no indication that Meta plans to abandon it.
That sounds a bit dystopian honestly, but also super scifi.
Would you mind elaborating? How does that… work? Do you have like, synced devices?
There are things like vrchat where you can interact with other VR user in virtual worlds.
It’s pretty fun but typically full of younger people so if you’re like over the age of 30 you might feel uncomfortable in some of the spaces.
I realize now that I probably misinterpreted their comment and they just meant like taking a nap while playing vrchat. (which is still interesting!)
You can, if you want to, explore the world of teledildonics linked to VR experiences if you really want to go full Demolition Man.
