Maybe on server shit but I literally have no idea. But if they actually build architectures that can hold 3D worlds and hundreds/thousands of multiple user being on the same servers. It might be profitable in the long run. But once again, I don't know.

The metaverse isnt just one app (Horizons). It's a combination of the oculus hardware that continues to improve as well as major apps that come and and go that can be installed onto the device. Its not just on app. Carmack talks about this.

It’s a ploy to get intimate user data like what you’re looking at and sell it to advertisers. The phone platforms are dead ends now, ppl are aware of the tracking and data abuse. Under the meta verse umbrella they can 1. Get more data on users like gaze tracking 2. Disassociate themselves from the bad reputation

To be fair their hardware is good. It’s probably retarded boomers that were into VR in the 90s trying to recreate their VRML trash. There’s no need today to simplify graphics to that point, or on second thought- maybe if you put 100 of these avatars in a room the whole thing breaks down… Still - out of touch garbage anyway. I did their meta verse Coursera course (free) and it was all trannies an women in their 50s. The problem is probably that the marketing team consists of shallow women who don’t know what they are selling. IMHO VR can only take off as some kind of social sex platform where weird shit happens like you pay some twat on the other side of the world to puppet some model alien with 7 tits via motion capture and moan. The concept of the meta verse is not that bad, this specific implementation is retarded.

This is the worst take i have ever read, about any subject.

The metaverse offers a higher form of communication over the internet and yes, having face tracking and eye tracking is required as you need it to convey emotion while communicating with the headset
The only thing and i mean the only thing stopping adoption is weight and bulkiness of the headset and inability to be used in sunlight without quick, permanent damage

I’ve built my own 2K headsets when all you could get was 1080p DK2 and used them in Blender Game Engine.
VR is a great, unique natively-stereoscopic medium in which you can use your hands and feel like you’re somewhere else. The problem is that they don’t play to the strengths of the medium. Instead of remaking VR chat, they should focus on porn which is and always was the leading industry. I would buy a company that runs websites for webcam whores, then pivot into VR making the bitches do motion capture in real time, like phone sex in VR with actual 3D models of the bitch and real movement streamed. Like being a whore IRL but in VR. Games are bullshit penny-stock retardation, not the right market. Neck beard comers with 100k+ salary and VR headsets are a better paypig audience.

thats not what the metaverse is about. The metaverse is about giving you an experience that is beyond text based communication and flat 2d video, period. With eye tracking and face tracking we are getting much closer. Now Apple is rumored to be making a huge blunder, a whopping $2k+ headset with absolutely minimal battery life.

Zucchini only cares because he got deplatformed from phones by Apple blocking tracking, so he’s out and about looking to replace phones with some other device he has control over, but unlike a phone a VR headset can tell where you’re looking at for how long which is something advertisers crave.

However I feel that VR online sex is a double edged sword. There's a loneliness pandemic and growing awareness of it, so a product that aims at making people even more lonely irl can attract a lot of negativity.

Imagine you can put on a headset and be present with another human being in some room like you’re actually there but over the internet… or have them overlaid in pass-through mode (using the stereo cameras at the front) into your room. What would ppl use that for? Business meetings? We all know it would be used for orgies and shit. A camwhore who sells personal requests like calling out your name would create an account and try to charge you for a lap dance. This is what Zucc talks about in the video presentation - being ‘present’ with ‘other people’ as if you’re with them remotely. If this platform ever takes off it will be as Skype for motion capture.

The wireless VR headset has trash GPU/CPU hardware compared to a standard desktop PC. It's not the same as VIVE or the other VR headsets that is wired to a computer with a 3090 in it that weights x times more than the headset. So it makes sense they are going with stylized graphics like 99% of mobile games instead of making graphics that look like it's from 2010.

The metaverse is anything VR or AR that's connected to the internet. Horizon is a stilborn meme.
I wonder why tf they lie about full-body tracking, THOUGH. VRChat is adding OSC tracking that'll let even standalone Quest users use fbt, with a computer to do the processing of the tracker input, yes, but you can use a complete shitbox for that.
They have no interest in appealing to their core audience, at least on the software side. Funny how they make gloves with tactile feedback, eye tracking, hand-tracking and mouth-tracking but say that a well-established thing like vive pucks or even IMU trackers are too complicated. They would benefit so much from appealing to pcvr users but they insist on the standalone focus. Do both, chucklenuts.

It'll likely be a project that has the end goal of what mining companies did with James town.
Its an attempt at another all encompassing corporate lifestyle monopoly.

Besides we already got an actual community with a legit Creative Commons metaverse in VRChat.
The community has been constantly upping the bar in online social interaction since 2010 and world/model/experience/immersive design for years.
Its a massive community of millions of players now & people mod it for commissions or for free/fun all the time
Anyone can easily get started doing said work too with the free SDK's.

Easy Anti-Cheat was added to VRChat a few months ago and that nuked the mods. The private server project received a cease and desist.
On the bright side, they're adding in the features that the mods gave, after the outrage, and their development has just sped up in general. Before EAC, Physbones came in so questies could get some variant of dynamic bones along with custom avatar interactions. OSC control over avatars got added, so you can call that modding, but with a higher barrier to entry, since people aren't going to give you their setups for free.
I want to sperg on about features but update logs exist, so I won't.
I see you haven't played in quite a while, though.

to actually answer your question, a good deal of the money probably went to various hardware R&D projects (ASICs, SoCs, sensors, displays, battery, boards, etc) a lot of which probably never ended up revealed to the public due to technology problems (as is typical with R&D).

based on Carmack's statements on leaving, it's pretty clear that a lot of spending was also wasted due to beaurocratic shit and team dysfinction.

I know /3/ is pretty retarded, but just looking at one shitty app and pinning all 16 billion dollars on it is dumber than I would have given you credit for.
