The @htcvive Flow is an interesting product. Loving the look, the form factor, and the adjustable diopter lenses. I miss either an OLED display or higher resolution and some more powerful graphics, but very excited for the product line nonetheless: youtu.be/xyywAfzRVV0 #vr

In the 1980s, Jaron Lanier realized that VR had the potential to be the ultimate tool for human manipulation. Today, we have @Meta. Lanier predicts that having a Metaverse on a @Facebook-like business model will destroy humanity: youtu.be/0ZdWM_H1gXk #vr #privacy

My YouTube channel AltVR just reached 500K views! If you are interested in VR beyond gaming, be sure to check it out. In my latest video, for instance, I discuss my thoughts on blockchain Metaverse approaches such as @decentraland and @TheSandboxGame: youtu.be/5WsGtvaB-os #vr

The Thought Experiments of Virtual Reality
The Matrix introduced philosophical skepticism to the masses. 20 years and a few VR headsets later, the topic is more actual than ever.
If you're interested in a broader perspective on the potential of VR technologies, consider following me on my Medium! Here, I write about ethics and privacy, blockchain tech, and the innovative potential of VR tech for individuals and society: #vr medium.com/@VindenesJ
#NFT collectors: what makes you decide for a project? Is it exclusivity, uniqueness, aesthetics/liking the art, or artist reputation/authority? Or something completely else! Would love to hear perspectives on this.
One would imagine @Snowden to be a prime candidate to appreciate the liberties offered by VR tech of being social in a shared environment. Now, @Meta is of course unacceptable. But sadly, blockchain solutions are also lacking in their ability to compete: medium.com/@VindenesJ/edw…

Edward Snowden’s Problem With the Metaverse
Edward Snowden is still in exile for exercising his moral compass and taking one for the team. Not being able to leave his hideout in…
While I am a big believer in the potential of #blockchain tech to create a decentralised Metaverse, approaches based on exclusive and scarce virtual land is entirely backwards and fails to grasp at what the Metaverse will become. Here’s why: link.medium.com/O0wNnSqxIlb #Decentraland
How should we study VR UX and Interaction? In our recent paper, we detail the "VR Go-along method", which involves navigating the virtual environment while immersed with a user. For more info, you can read the abstract and download the article for free: researchgate.net/publication/35…
The Dark Side of Virtual Reality: A @Medium piece on how excessive VR use may trigger Depersonalization/Derealization Disorder. @Meta's incentives to maximize your VR "screen time" for ad sales might come with dark consequences: link.medium.com/V4PusMAfqlb #vr #meta #metaverse
"Lanier’s grand vision for VR was that it could allow deep, true, and genuine human connection. His worst nightmare was that it would be the perfect technology for unconscious human manipulation: The perfect tool for the perfect, perfectly evil Skinner box."
New @medium piece out, discussing the ultimate danger of @meta. As a tldr, I'll quote Jaron Lanier's warning: "Turing^Moore’s Law * (Pavlov, Watson, Skinner) = Zombie Apocalypse" medium.com/@VindenesJ/how…
The decentralization that #blockchain technologies offers is incredibly dangerous to companies that profit from being the middle-man. Most noteworthy is banking, but also companies like @Uber, and eventually, @Meta, who wants to facilitate/sell every inch of human communication.
.@Meta wants to create a centralized walled garden where its users do not have voting rights. If successful, it will be a dystopian virtual dictatorship where your personal (biometric) data will be sold to the highest bidder. A discussion of alternatives: youtu.be/eWx-WEmFaF0

Zen Republic: An Alternative Vision for the Metaverse
Facebook is Facebook. Don't write about the name, write about what they do, because that's what matters. Paperwork doesn't change the nature of a thing.
So, apparently over time @Facebook login won’t be needed for @Meta. Why? Because a re-branding of a brand with terrible reputation is going on and it will be easier for @Meta get more valuable data this way. This does not signify a change in the business model #meta #facebook
Apparently, a centralized walled garden (@meta / @Facebook ) claims to be the Metaverse. I hope people can feel the ugly taste in their mouth and the sweet taste of boycott. Relevant read: medium.com/meta-verses/th… #privacy #meta #metaverse
I'm very interested in the potential of blockchain technologies for social VR. To get a foot in the door, I decided to make my @VRChat Party Avatar into an NFT on the #ethereum blockchain. VRChat doesn't have NFT integrations yet, but I had some fun :) #blockchain #metaverse #vr
Virtual Reality enthusiasts should definitely explore Lucid Dreaming, as it already is what we one day hope VR will become! A fun little story in my newest @Medium article: medium.com/@VindenesJ/why… #vr #luciddreaming
