Brain dances, like movies but your brain "lives" the experience, cyberpunk stuff, choom

Oh, wow! I've always wanted to do them.

My folks just don't understand mountain biking and there's so many applications where conveying ones experience would be significant.

I know it's just a game, but maybe I should try it out...

Blueberry documentary.
Pretty interesting stuff, actually.

Oooh, and BJs.

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 18 points 6 months ago

Saw that review.

Social politeness is already an issue. Imagine the chaos of lots of people using those and answering texts in places like doorways and stairs.

Just stopping wherever they are and chicken pecking at an imaginary keyboard(exactly as he does in the review)

I wouldn't worry, most of em won't survive the traffic of cars and people.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 12 points 6 months ago

Going forward I'm just going to refuse to talk to anyone wearing headsets. You can stand there and say all you want, if you'd like to talk to me then take the headset off. I sound like a boomer that doesn't understand wireless earbuds that pause and pass through outside audio automatically. I still take them out out of respect, though, if it's anything more than a sentence.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

I wonder how it compares to staring down at one's phone though. At least in an AR scenario, you're looking straight ahead right? I can both see how that could improve your spatial and social awareness, but I can also see how you could tunnel vision on your content just as easily.

[-] GluWu@lemm.ee 10 points 6 months ago

When you look at your phone, I can tell you're looking at your phone. If you're wearing a headset I have no idea where you're actually looking. And you could be pointing your face straight at me but completely gone watching a video or something.

Eyes are such a fundamental part of human body language. We need to be able to see each others to have effective communication.

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 5 points 6 months ago

Is that hard to imagine? I see people nearly colliding into each other in the hallway on a daily basis looking at their phones.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I think people would learn to move out of the way at that point or just use Siri to respond. That felt very much like a “first-time” faux pas when he stops on the stairs.

[-] Kbin_space_program@kbin.social 1 points 6 months ago

The weird thing is that there are already efficient gesture keyboards. It's a weird choice by Apple to not use one.

[-] dpkonofa@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago

I don't think I've ever seen a gesture-based keyboard that worked well. Got any examples?

Didn't think WALL-E would start so soon

Steve Mann invented probably the first mediated reality device, the EyeTap, in 1984. Of course, it was a freaking CRT and mirror array strapped to your head, but one of the original proposed use cases was to remap advertising billboards into whatever you wanted. Fast forward 40 years and we're using the same concept to beam ads directly into your eyeballs.

[-] TimeSquirrel@kbin.social 6 points 6 months ago

OBEY.

CONSUME.

[-] noisypine@infosec.pub 5 points 6 months ago

Covering IRL advertisements is the only thing that interests me with this sort of tech. I would love to cover billboards with random memes or even just erase them. THAT would be a reason worth looking goofy as hell for.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 5 points 6 months ago

Like this, sort of

Gotta say, still seems awkward using it in public.

Gotta, say, the barrier between you and other people by having a headset obscure most of your face, sure feels strange, as far as human interactions go. They really haven't innovated at all in that regard, despite the promises of the virtual eyes at the front. I can't see the technology becoming ubiquitous in daily life, until it's nearly seamless.

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 6 points 6 months ago

Same, same. Except I can't imagine that virtual eye thing ever being seamless.

[-] Opisek@lemmy.world 2 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

Oh yeah, no, I don't think anything virtual will ever make a conversation with a headset on seem natural. The best form factor I can picture is some sort of smart glasses, smart contact lenses, etc. Basically, as little obstruction as possible. Doubt it will happen anytime soon, though it is a shame development was stalled after Google Glasses' flop.

Cyberpunk 20~~77~~ 24

[-] lukas@youfoh.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Looks Perfect XD

[-] ExLisper@linux.community 2 points 6 months ago

All I took out from this is the FOV is so bad it's really awkward to move around.

[-] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 6 months ago

I will try to not use those things if I can. Maybe they become the new stereograph display visor thing that never took off.
