There needs to be significant benefits other than novelty for the metaverse to take hold vs In real life (IRL). I have trouble thinking of any upside, and many downsides including nausea, headaches, discomfort from having a headset on for long periods, lack of privacy inherent in such a coordinated space.

Much prefer a huds display on light weight glasses, with no visual recording ability (recording was the downfall of google glass). Either way big tech’s intrusion into life is becoming dystopian, “do no evil” is not their motto.

Got me thinking! Tbh if there was clear value to be had that couldn’t be found anywhere else then those downsides wouldn’t matter. People had nausea and headaches from crt screens but access to a word/excel (or w/e they were named before) was THAT much better than the alternative that it didn’t matter
