Elemental's worldbuilding feels like an AI tried to rip off Zootopia, like the robot brain can't figure out why humans will chuckle at jokes like "sloths work at the dmv" but not "the tree working in customs uses his stump-shaped nose in lieu of a rubber stamp"
@trojanwilliams@LanceUlanoff i don’t see why the masses would ever want to adopt this technology, even if it becomes more affordable. why would i use it to take meetings if it means my peers interact with a fugly avatar? why wouldn’t i just watch a movie on my tv and have a shared experience with friends?
@trojanwilliams@LanceUlanoff i would also argue other headsets have no practical applications for normal people. how often am i going to need a $3500 device for an architecture walkthrough?
@trojanwilliams@LanceUlanoff why would i want to strap on a vr headset and FaceTime with a hideous virtual persona when i could just pickup my phone and do a normal call instead? the tech has no practical application
@trojanwilliams@LanceUlanoff I don’t know if you watched the presentation, but this is how apple intends to represent the user on FaceTime when using the headset.
