The weird thing is they actually do have the tech for photorealistic avatars. But they didn’t implement because if they did then inevitably people would use it for “virtual encounters” which Facebook don’t want to deal with understandably. But at the same time if that’s what people want to do with it and you’re not letting them that’s a problem.
This tech won’t work if it’s run by one boring ass company.
Well this sounds funny, but really? I think our newest tech is applied in… Research, manufacturing, weaponry, speed/efficiency/throughput.
On the consumer side of things, we have new technology applied in TVs, movie theatres, and video games. Depending on how “new” is new to you. NGL porn does get a lot of love from tech, though. Not only video resolution, 3D video, and VR… But teledildonics, fancy new backend (ha!) Systems for all of this streaming and payment.
What do you think?
I guess some new technology is applied in super churches. More likely the prices lowered on some entertainment tech, making it accessible for them. But hey it happens.
Photo realistic avatars aren’t possible today. Even if they have the technology for it to work in normal conditions and it wasn’t faked like the leg tracking, it’s going to take more than a smartphone to render, and the majority of people don’t have a computer more powerful than a smartphone, even if they do own a VR headset. The sad reality for PC VR is that most PC users don’t have VR and probably most VR users don’t have a gaming PC.

Purity is the enemy of innovation, got it.
Almost across the board, new technology is used to spread two things: religious dogma and porn.
And the farmer’s almanac, but mostly the Bible and porn.
