‘Meetings’ are torture and making them better doesn’t make me want VR, but reframed, making virtual ‘hanging out with friends’ better is quite appealing. So if it’s way better for that - particularly for low intensity socializing while watching shared media (virtual couch) - then I may be interested.
The thing I miss the most shared living spaces, or college, is doing the TV and video-gaming you normally do, but always with friends in a social setting.
The resolution is such a bottleneck though. It feels like it’s not that far off but I keep trying to squint to read things on a display in VR. Just one more half generation maybe.
As someone who has been organizing meetups in VR for about a year now [check out ea vr and h+vr), I think VR makes virtual hangouts with friends better! I am also actually quite excited about productivity in VR however the tech isn’t quite there (give it a couple years), but social VR is already lots of fun (despite still being in a fairly early state itself)!
Hanging in VR with friends feels a lot like being in the same space together. We like to chill and vibe while doing our own things too.
My personal feeling towards social VR is something like: despite how early all this tech is, it’s already this cool, and I enjoy it a lot. Imagine what it’ll be like once it’s more mature! I’m excited :)
