Rutibex posted:there should be some kind of VR garter belt to track your legs you can put vive trackers on anything but the most successful use case I am aware of is people making extremely tracker-heavy sex games in Virt-A-Mate some dude built a robot vagina that accepts a fleshlight as a an internal and hooks up to a vive tracker the reddit video of it running (empty) reminded me of the sexual torture/killing device from the Happiness In Slavery video. I cannot find said video now, but I Would Not Put My Junk In It

I think we all know that VR will be gimmicky crap until the porn industry imfunds a way to leverage it effectively. Then it will become ubiquitous.

In literally just this last week, recruiters for a fuckton of VR startups have been just blowing up my Linkedin for some godforsaken reason. All of them, even the ones that aren't Meta, have the same loving Nintendo Mii avatars with no legs and often floating hands. What is the deal with that? They could instantly make it less unappealing by not doing that.

While his two-implant system is still working, he doesn’t know how long that will be the case. “As long as nothing goes wrong, I’m fine,” he says. “But if something does go wrong with it, well, I’m screwed. Because there’s no way of getting it fixed.”

I was expecting their cyber eyes to get some new over the air update which bricks it until you pay extra for the DLC. or maybe embedded ads directly into your brain you have to pay extra to turn off. just going out of business isn't cyber punk enough

One of the more prescient (and horrifying) bits in Neil Stephenson's The Diamond Age is a throwaway line about a court stenographer wearing AR-type goggles to do stuff. He mentions that this is the first-gen AR tool; second-gen was eyeball implants, which lasted as long as it took for hackers to take them over and blast porn pop-ups directly into your brain, at which point they went back to the goggles that you could, y'know, stop using

That's the fundamental gently caress up of stuff like shadowrun: putting in cyber eyes means ceding some bodily control to whoever made the eyes, and in the capitalist hell cyberpunk is meant to critique, that means ceding to the bosses who are necessarily villainous. That is enough, adding weird poo poo about "purity" just makes it less punk

That is enough, adding weird poo poo about "purity" just makes it less punk goddamn that's really good insight, was too busy saying "wow! Cool cyberpunk samurai!" the only way cyber eyes work like shadowrun/cyberpunk2077 say is that for some reason the corporations and government entities decide "oh no we couldn't possibly take advantage of having control over the manufacture of these eyes, people are entitled to bodily autonomy!" which given the current, real state of things: hahahahahahahaha and of course extending that to all cyberware god dammit this really is the shittiest timeline

Hopefully these idiots wised up and refocused their efforts on high-margin fields like advertising and entertainment rather than trying to restore sight for the blind (a notoriously unprofitable enterprise!)

School Nickname posted:VRchat has full body tracking, but to my knowledge there's a fairly large capital cost, plus you need a large room for actual dancing. Some people do crazy poo poo like backflips and pole dancing. As you might expect, the most popular English-speaking VR streamers are all members/friends of a virtual strip club. They are overthinking this whole problem...they should just force users to walk around in front of a camera for a minute for motion capture, and then paste the sprites in front of a background photo a la 90s FMV games. Bing bong solved.

quote:Condo games are usually only live for a short time - often less than an hour - before they are discovered and taken down. Roblox says it is constantly trying to take these games offline - using both manual and automated systems. quote:These condos are not games you would stumble on. You would need to actively search for them. quote:Roblox told the BBC they had developed 'Parental Control' tools, "that can be used to restrict who children interact with and which experiences they can access".  seems fine?quote:But the BBC found inappropriate sexual language in legitimate games too. ok so like literally any multiplayer game then
