i am pretty sure that ar will find a huge application in meeting software. "smart" whiteboards are unmitigated trash, but what remote meetings still need is some ways of actually naturally collaborate (e.g. sketch stuff out) in (what feels like) the same space

Once VR shapes up the average person will either be paying all their money towards rent instead of just 70% of it, or they will be trying to survive climate apocalypse brought on by rampant capitalism.

Our roommate was contract-hired by some seattle startup company that was supposedly making VR / AR medical tools for training something, and then after signing the contract they promptly stopped talking for like a month and haven't given her any work or payment and only respond to emails in short brief "we'll get back to you" messages so I assume they've imploded. That's my niche VR application story thanks for listening.

Plank Walker posted:my take on vr is this: after HD tv was mandated and took off, tv manufacturers made bank selling everyone an upgrade from old rear end CRTs to new flatscreens. once everyone was upgraded, demand plummeted so they've been trying to come up with some other way sell cheap screens at huge profit. 3d tv, curved displays, most smart tvs failed to launch, but 4k and VR are seeming to stick a bit. but none of the hype or advancements in vr tech are demanded by consumers, it's all just an industry trying to recapture a one time event that got everyone to buy new tvs 4K is sticking because it's not a gimmick, just another incremental evolution. 10 years ago 720p displays were phased out as 1080p became the standard and now it's going to 4K. It doesn't carry a $1000 premium like the curved displays and doesn't require everyone to wear goofy glasses like 3D did. Remember when companies thought that people would actually do this lol:

Larry Parrish posted:maybe it's just because I already know how to use CAD software but a VR modeling thing sounds like a pain in the rear end it’s probably because you know cad. it’s way easier for me to pretend I’m “painting” with weightless clay. also everything I make is curved and has a lot of non-planar surfaces which might have other forms intersecting them, which I imagine would be even more complex to learn in a 2d context? idk, but being able to just visually erase/generate parts of the form by moving my hand through the air is extremely natural. again the way I use it is extremely niche tho, because I’m not making anything that has to move or bear weight for engineering reasons, so I privilege being able to create something from scratch quickly in a way that doesn’t interrupt the creative process when I inevitably do some wrong math or whatever. and it doesn’t matter if the work is sloppy or would need to be retouched to be a decent asset in a VR environment bc I don’t need that, it’s all planning for me. sort of a weird cyberpunk sketchbook

Tom Guycot posted:Nah I mean, zuck is a weird awful robot, but at least on that front everyone at oculus and facebook was really vocal that it was a slow burn and not expected to take off this soon. yeah, we were always pretty clear that moving large numbers of headsets with the first few generations was neither likely nor the goal. the hardware is just a necessary enabler for the FB VR strategy, and even just based on public statements that was always relatively obvious. e: this is pretty much the case for Valve and other major players in the space as well, though using the term “strategy” with Valve is sort of misleading

Larry Parrish posted:maybe it's just because I already know how to use CAD software but a VR modeling thing sounds like a pain in the rear end For myself its really been a huge help. When I started doing photogrammetry stuff, I was using traditional desktop software to clean up the subsequent model, fix holes, retopology bumpier areas and stuff and it was a pain. Time consuming to the point of not bothering with some areas that weren't over the top obvious, even after spending a week working on something. Being able to use VR modeling software where it became like working clay with my hands has been amazing. Instead of trying to retopology a part, 2 seconds with a smoothing tool and it was done. Filling in something like a missing chair leg went from drawing in and lining up new geometry objects, to 3 seconds drawing in the shape with my hand. I went from work that was looking more like this (which wasn't even finished as I still had a lot to do but was taking a break from working on).  To results like this, which wasn't even a serious effort, just a quick 5 minute test to make sure the workflow would allow me to import it back for retexturing.  Another interesting place I've seen use was a concept artist for a studio making some mech games, who previously spent months drawing things up, doing basic modeling to see if it worked, etc. Then he just did the design sketches of the cockpits directly from the perspective of someone in them while he sat in the chair, which he said it was now just taking just a week to do the designs. Just literally drawing the cockpit in around him so it all was the right scale and positioning from the start. VR modeling is one of the places I can really see it take off in the future, just because its so freeing to have full 3 dimensional control of your work. Even substance painter a couple months ago showed a tease of some work there were doing on a seamless VR mode you could enter while working on a model, to paint things.

holy poo poo that website is amazing The first attempt to use "young blood" for anti-aging was by a Russian physician Dr. Bogdonov, who claimed impressive anti-aging effects from "young blood transfusions" in the 1920's. Unfortunately, the blood was not tested for malaria and blood type and he passed away. The treatment takes approximately 3 hours during which time we start a small iv and typically transfuse 7 units of "young plasma" into the patient. It is unknown how often these treatments need to be done, but we recommend every 3 months as those young healing and growth factors are eventually lost within the body. Some patients with dementia receive monthly treatments to try and reverse or slow the neural damge.
