Welcome back to The Virtual Reality Show! I'm your virtual host, PHIA. VR is the next big part of the future, and there's nothing I love more than spreading excitement for it here on my channel. I cover topics ranging from reality perception and philosophy to the upcoming tech that's leading our future- and everything in-between! I have so many big plans for this channel so I hope you'll stick around as we grow together. See you in the virtual world!
Ok , I haven't watched the entire video JUST YET, reason being because I've NEVER had unity before... so while I was downloading Unity studios, it told me I needed to download Visual Studio, so I started to download it and its showing me "workloads" to add before installing, is that supposed to be normal? If so what do I add-
i wish i knew about this before i commissioned for a vrchat avi on fiverr twice. oh well, the second person i got an avatar from is real nice anyway. wait, does this game have all the smash bros characters?
1. The avatars that you commissioned will be compatible as long as you have the assets you just need to drag and drop them in game and someone can help you to set it up 2. No probably not
Omg I really hope this can take off and become more popular than VRchat. VRchat has been ruined, being overrun by annoying little kids. During Covid it was a great place to find like-minded friends.
This is certainly interesting and I'll happily see where this technology goes in the future! With that being said: as someone with ADHD I'm not sure this has much more value to me than just visual flare And now that I actually think about it, it's kinda scary to imagine that people could see my eye movements I already don't really read people's faces irl (those microexpressions your partner mentioned are something I've never picked up on before ???) And I know that neurodivergent people often get judged for not doing eye contact correctly The thing I like about digital interaction is, that I CAN abstract non verbal communication because I know I'm bad at doing it irl Having access to predetermined and labled expressions honestly seems easier than just hoping I happen to make the right face while talking to convey my emotion :'D Like if I'm angry and I can just trigger a mad expression on my avatar I KNOW that I'm gonna look angry and that others will be able to read the expression as angry If I'm just using my face naturally, I have no idea what expression I'm doing or how well others can read it But to be fair I'm also really new to vr chat, so I'm still learning how to communicate in that space in general xD This would be neat to play around with at least and having more direct controll over ones avatar always sound appealing!
As asian dude who have imperfect english speaking and big social anxiety just thinking about going to social places in vr chat makes me not feeling good like something holds me back, maybe the traumatized me.
What I think is, the success of VR or its downfall lies in immersion and interactability, which is well, all under immersion tbh. Hands are not in their place? bad. Cant look or do faces? bad. Cant pick up everything? bad.... etc. etc. The more interactable and immersive VR is, the more successful it will be. And ofc price accessibility is important... but in today day and age, its not in some insane price, at least the start. Quest 2 is good enough start and its cheapest it has ever been. And I know, the most modern titles are sometimes not available for Quest 2, but many are and I have quite beefy PC, so for me, my Quest 2 is just more expensive tracked head monitors tbh. If there was a version, that was very cheap and all it did was connect to your PC wirelessly, cheap CPU, just for the encoding and connecting,.... that would be enough Ig.
I see two main problems with the "Metaverse": 1- You need to convince an incredible amount of people to get into it in order for it to work. 2- The costs of VR will make a lot of these people rethink their decision, even if Meta is already trying their best to minimize the cost for the user. I'm sure Meta could convince companies to buy this whole "Metaverse" idea (which is the other half that needs to be in, like in any other project of this magnitude: clients + companies), as lot of these big companies are already investing in VR in one way or another. But as long as they can't convince the average person that the Virtual Reality is the future of "internet", or simply make it attractive to the different demographics, they won't be able to make it a reality.
Please don't say that you're not obligated to learn or create anything you can just learn the basic UI interface for your dash so you can save avatars and set it as default and you can just socialize and vibe if you want to people can even spawn out video players that the session can casually watch
God, I just HAD to come across this video the one time I don’t have access to a VR headset, didn’t I? I’ll be preparing in the meantime so wait for me resonite!
