Also… a) I haven’t read Snowcrash and probably won’t. Feels too late to go beyond summary. I read Diamond Age and Cryptonomicon and don’t feel like another Neal S. slog. b) I do have an Oculus and have tried the rest… Hololens, Mag8c Leap. I’m Take Competent™

Read 2 parts so far. Cogent overview and hardware status report. No surprises yet, but good to see basics laid out. My one “real” VR experience btw was going apartment hunting last June during pandemic. Took 2 VR tours including the one I moved to. Was great on Oculus.

🤔 the idea of an Open Metaverse instantly strikes me as a pataf9x somehow, like “Zion Matrix.” But I suppose it’s possible.

Part 3 on networking also no real surprises. Nice to know there are latency focused backbone startups. Lots of useful summary detail factoids. Didn’t know Microsoft Flight Simulator had gotten that advanced btw. Apparently you can shadow flights in near real time.
