There is a class of people who don’t think AR glasses should give you superpowers of vision and hearing because it brings up “privacy issues”. The companies that take that position are going to lose.

AirPods Pro now give you superhuman hearing via transparency mode. The trick is they put these options under accessibility settings. Next year I expect this to happen with eyes instead of ears, via the accessibility settings of the AR visor.

Twitter has had a massive drop in revenue, due to activist groups pressuring advertisers, even though nothing has changed with content moderation and we did everything we could to appease the activists. Extremely messed up! They’re trying to destroy free speech in America.

Phil Spencer calling the metaverse a poorly build game shows we need to come up with and agree on a clear, solid definition on what the metaverse actually is.
Meta Quest Pro. I love it, but some seem to not like it. That is because of a disconnect. XR's future isn't about gaming only. It's about productivity, health, lifestyle. Like your TV, notebook, tablet or phone. A big use case will be 2D gaming, using the headset as a screen.

I too love to cricize Facebook. But people, please, the first iPhone for example was criticized for not having 3G or copy-paste functionality. But can we at least _now_ agree that that criticism completely missed the point?

Btw, I feel that thinking recroom looks better than horizon worlds is a little reach. I can see Zucks avatar being soulless, but Recroom also doesn't have legs and VRChat performance on Quest is messy at best. Creating such a platform for real people on stand alone VR is hard.

Disclaimer: I believe in XR becoming the next gen of user interfaces, creating an immersive web. All within the next 5 to 10 yrs. I remember working on multitouch in 2006, expecting Apple to release something like it, with a lot of people telling me it won't ever take off...

I really should do a series (blogpost or video) on the many different interpretations of the word "metaverse", because to me it's -nothing- like second life 2.0 or place to buy and sell virtual assets. We should focus on real world, useful, helpful and awesome applications.

This great and exactly what the metaverse needed. Interoperability is the only way forward.

In order to build an open, inclusive, equitable metaverse at pervasive scale, a constellation of open interoperability standards is needed. The Metaverse Standards Forum has been formed to meet this need. Come join us! bit.ly/3Oi8vmt #metaverse #standards #collaboration

Reveal maybe, but this is a big new product. There will be -at least- 6 months between the reveal and general availability.
