<p>20 to 39 is millennial aka Gen Y.</p>
<p>Younger are Zoomer aka Gen Z, with the youngest being sometimes called Gen A.</p>Adeon Writer commented on 'Veteran Metaverse Analyst Gwyneth Llewelyn on Meta's Horizon Woes -- And How They Might Be Improved'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef02942f9ae98e200c2022-02-23T16:07:30Z2022-02-23T20:55:56ZAdeon Writerhttps://profile.typepad.com/adeonwriterI said it back in 2007 and I'll say it again: Second Life was around before Facebook is a thing,...<p>I said it back in 2007 and I'll say it again:</p>
<p>Second Life was around before Facebook is a thing, and Second Life will still be around when Facebook is no longer a thing.</p>sirhc desantis commented on 'Veteran Metaverse Analyst Gwyneth Llewelyn on Meta's Horizon Woes -- And How They Might Be Improved'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0282e145c825200b2022-02-23T14:25:48Z2022-02-23T20:55:56Zsirhc desantisBeen reading ser Llewelyn since - actually, think was reading ser L and you before making an account in SL....<p>Been reading ser Llewelyn since - actually, think was reading ser L and you before making an account in SL. So I blame you both =^^=<br />
Very sensible stuff. <br />
Especially the 'outside' dev stuff. Even been playing with a few 3d 'engines' again out of curiosity since my makie stuff genes were piqued when I was tempted to try out for one of these 'gamejams' the kids seem to like and got some pos feedback.<br />
Now - who are Gen X meant to be this week agewise? I lose track.</p>Martin K. commented on 'Veteran Metaverse Analyst Gwyneth Llewelyn on Meta's Horizon Woes -- And How They Might Be Improved'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0282e145c3ed200b2022-02-23T12:18:28Z2022-02-23T20:55:56ZMartin K.> shelling out a small fortune for a VR headset to get legless, low-polygon avatars that seem to do little...<p>> <i>shelling out a small fortune for a VR headset to get legless, low-polygon avatars that seem to do little more than crowd around you, having a weird minimalistic almost-wireframe-y background of speeding flying cars... I don't know, but the appeal is simply not there.</i></p>
<p>Without experiencing eye contact with the avatar of another familiar person in VR, most people will probably not understand the fascination of legless, low-polygon avatars in VR. </p>
<p>From the perspective of VR players, meeting another person in flat-screen apps like SecondLife feels like you are controlling a tiny puppet that stands next to another tiny puppet controlled by another person. In VR, on the other hand, it feels like you are actually meeting another person face-to-face (including having eye contact etc.) while both of you wear full-body costumes. The fact that these costumes consist of few polygons and have no legs is a minor detail in comparison.</p>Martin K. commented on 'Veteran Metaverse Analyst Gwyneth Llewelyn on Meta's Horizon Woes -- And How They Might Be Improved'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d8341bf74053ef0282e145c24b200b2022-02-23T11:29:08Z2022-02-23T20:55:56ZMartin K.> The popularity of Meta's 2D environments comes from the simple fact that 2D social spaces only require a mobile...<p>> <i>The popularity of Meta's 2D environments comes from the simple fact that 2D social spaces only require a mobile phone and an opposing thumb, and can be accessed anytime, anywhere.</i></p>

What are the chances Meta will listen to Gwyneth when they won't even listen to first-party veterans they hired from the field?</p>
