@jalcine @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs Seriously. Look, VR’s cool, but it’s going to be a tablet-like also-ran interface paradigm at best, not a paradigm shift like personal desktop computers or smartphones. Also, the fact that you can’t gather ’round a screen or hold up a phone to someone else isn’t lost on me here; the form factor itself is directly antisocial and isolating

Which kinda explains the mindset and principles of the people funding and promoting the concept.

@paninid @jalcine @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs Yes and no: I agree with you that it explains a lot. It also shows how the people funding and promoting the concept are doing so in spite of itself

@paninid @jalcine @rotopenguin @thomasfuchs I personally find the latter to be inexplicable. Maybe this works out in retrospect, i.e. Apple Vision Pro ends up being a hulking Apple Lisa of a commercial prototype, but it’ll take a few years, possibly even a decade to become something other than a doofy “helmet computer”
