Oh how cute, it's trying to rationalize.

Special snowflake? Honestly, anybody who looks at that image and does not feel uneasy about it must have some kind of developmental disorder at least. If anyone is a special snowflake here, it's you.

Do you honestly feel nothing thinking about how it must feel to be completely isolated among isolated people on a public event? It's fucking awkward to at least.
>>55138494
I assume anyone who first saw someone use a computer would feel the same way.
Please die right now, you're literally your grandfather talking about cell phones and how it's 'unnatural' and 'can't be good for you'

Machines do exactly what they're told. They can always be trusted.
The problem is the people telling the machines to do things I don't want them to do.

And you would know this how?
Assume direct control.

I don't even give a fuck about VR, I just don't get why people just spout rubbish without any evidence beyond IT'S EVIL BECAUSE IT LOOKS FUNNY or FACEBOOK IS SATAN XD LMAO I'M SO EDGY
Isn't this how The Matrix started?
>>55138635
How is using a computer different from operating any machine? That's what it was considered back then, nothing more. There was nothing new about it, it didn't look unsettling to anyone.
This thing however is different. You sit among other people, with limited control over the appropriateness of your gestures and movements, completely isolated and helpless. It is taking something away, it's not adding anything. I look at this and know that I don't want this.
>>55138625
Yes it is.

Top fucking kek, must be nice living in this much ignorance.
People used to think that the Radio would bring about armageddon because nobody would actually do any work other than sit and listen to it.
This shit is littered through all of history.
But you're special snowflake syndrome makes you think you're the first one to 'Know all about the conspiracy'

Right back at you. And really, it's not about some conspiracy or whatever you are trying to make up, it's just that I look at that picture and get that immediate feeling that I don't want to be one of the guys with a VR device on. I don't feel obliged to get with the times, no matter the cost. It looks undignified to me.

You're probably descended from the fucktards that ate cold berries and raw meat instead of glorious meat stew.

Haven't gotten to read 1984 in school yet? It's ok, you'll read it after hitting puberty.

In the short run, probably. At least some people will use it as an interesting interface for now though.

That is the exact level of idiocy I would expect from a 12 year old. I would have thought you'd understand relevance by that age. I guess schools really are failing.
Why is the technology board so against technology?
>>55138258
Ugh people these day are sheep... go outside... get a life... Read a book
Cellphones and Facebook are the devil... just talk to each other
>>55140488
Not against technology, against companies that use it to exploit people. Imagine if the NSA released a VR device, would you trust it?
>>55140308
This. If I sit really close to my tv, I 'll be visiting a much larger virtual world.
Do you think he raped anyone before that pic was taken.
>>55140538
What's it going to do? VR is absolutely retarded. As someone else stated, it's nothing more than strapping a screen to your face. Is it somehow more realstic or dangerous because it's closer to your eyes? Were walkmans virtual worlds of sound? What about eyelids? They sit directly on your eyeballs! What dangers could the NSA inject into those? VR is a scam preying upon idiots.
How is this 'terrifying'? Sure, a lot of people wearing VR gear may seem a bit weird, but definitely not terrifying.
>>55140624
You realize your view of the world is shaped by mass media, right? The difference here is that given Facebook's track record they'll add eye tracking into it to figure out which ads you pay attention to or force you to watch (this has been tested in mobile devices). The number of sensors will go up with each iteration of the Oculus so that Facebook can collect more information on you. Selling to to advertisers although horribly unethical may seem innocuous but Facebook is more than happy to share data with law enforcement. We really aren't that far from every law enforcement agency on the planet having access to a 3d map of your house, data on your personality traits, probability of resistance to specific ideas, etc.
Information is power, especially against your enemies.

To me the terrifying part is basically that those people look completely helpless. Through VR they are losing the perception of the world around them, thus being in an extremely vulnerable state. They are defenceless in that state. You could just walk by and stab a knife into someones head, and nobody would even notice. It's pathetic. Who would ever want to put themselves into such a position among a bunch of strangers? It's a vision of the future I personally find disgusting in many ways.
>>55140697
I get that, but this scenario reminds me of the people who believe we are all going to to be forced to take implanted chips as a means of identification and payment (mark of the beast). It seems foolish to accept either scenario when you have such strong opinions against it. How would such a thing ever gain acceptance when it would obviously be viewed with great suspicion from the start?
>>55140753
it's german for mountain
>>55139721
Medical appliance, simulations, long-distance communication and probably something else that is useful.
Sure, it's going to be heavily used for entertainment, but it's also going to be used to save lives and educate people.
Also, most people don't think vr is unsettling, they just think it looks moronic.
>>55140788
People accepted their personal lives on display through social media. People have accepted that companies like Google and Apple can not only track you throughout the day, they can predict where you're going next.

I just realized that Americans don't know that "Zuckerberg" is a German word that translates into "sugar mountain". which really sounds like a place pedophiles make up when kids ask them where they live.

You are a waste of life, end yourself
I can't wait until they add the electrical contact points that will allow them to send different frequencies into the body to elicit various emotions and states of feelings, then true immersion will be achieved - Just like the feelies chairs in BNW
It'll make for some interesting stories to say the least, people will be even more reclusive and shut in than they already are
Virtual online meeting places, virtual conferences, working from home in a 3d environment, etc
Going to be interesting
>>55142852
>Virtual online meeting places, virtual conferences, working from home in a 3d environment, etc
Minus the Virtual meme this already happening since decade ago senpai.
>>55142801
are you willing to let others introduce "electrical contact points" in your body?. Thats sounds like letting someone rape you.
IS vr porn good enough?
That is literally the only reason I can think of for buying that
>>55142879
I know, but they are going to add the 3D avatar full immersion element to it, where you'll have to be physically present to interact with it
It'll allow people to virtually "go to work" in an online environment where it will ensure people are engaged and accountable for
>>55142892
Fuck no, but that's the point, like in BNW - They will introduce it as a benefit and from there the masses will come to accept the technology as common place, and from there they can begin adding layers to this function beyond the scope of the initial release (eg: electrically induced orgasms)
>>55142905

Facebook would do this to sell you a bar of soap.
>>55139709
VR may have some practical applications, in medical, astronauts maybe, and other work
But like a cell phone that advances society and is a major convenience to people, it's ultimately going to make us more retarded
>>55143038

advances to where?
>>55143038
You think fire didn't make us more retarded?

>>55143123

But anon, not everybody is some neckbeard that actually imagines this to be enjoyable. It's a retarded concept and there's absolutely nothing new about it. If people wanted to meet online as VR avatars, they would already meet online as regular avatars. But with the exception of some mentally retarded weirdos, nobody does this. It's simply not very appealing, as most people are not afraid to leave their houses.
