UploadVR has a good post on Sinespace's Delphi Talks session with Jaron Lanier featuring this video above, superbly shot and edited by Brian Arndt. Lots of great points to hear and discuss, including these highlights:
- 11:45: Jaron discusses the potential abuses of VR and the challenges around Facebook being the biggest VR company, culminating in the line, "Whatever the hell happened to Palmer Luckey?"
- 27:12: Talking about the size and form factor of HMDs, and Jaron's proposal on making them more appealing by making them not smaller, but larger and more ornate.
- 34:13: Advice for developers creating VR experiences.
- 37:50: Jaron on whether full-body VR might increase productivity, which leads into a fascinating point about understanding machine learning/AI.
- 40:48: Sinespace's Adam Frisby and Jaron chat about our focus to simulate the real world -- and the need to move beyond that. "Visualize if you will me in a meeting where I'm saying, 'We really need to do a 4D Minecraft!' and people looking at me and saying 'Oh yeah, right...'"
