20 years ago I worked in IT at a major university, and one of the things I managed there was a 3D visualization wall. Basically a 15 foot wide rear projection wall in 4k, and by wearing special goggles you could see in 3D.
I once saw a demonstration using that wall that showed how surgeons could theoretically perform surgery remotely when using haptic devices. For cutting edge technology from 20 years ago it was quite impressive.
For highly specialized remote activities, including the above, remote learning, etc. I could see something like this very useful. For general social activities, not at all.
I definitely agree that these are fascinating uses and are worth pursuing. Zuckajuck’s project, though it might be useful for these applications, isn’t developed for these applications. That’s what I meant by his vision being an absurdity, a freak – it’s driven by gross goals. I think you got what I meant, just wanted to expand on it though. Thanks for adding nuance to my perspective.
