Researcher Highlights Immersive VR Potential For Live Events Despite Slow Adoption

like we’ve all forgotten that we have two eyes and two ears and are way too complacent with watching events with single screen, mono audio

@willdepue Some of my best VR experiences were front row 3D MMA and combat sports matches but there were precious few such recordings

@exponentialtism oh wow genius almost like everyone should pay 10k for a world cup ticket why didn’t i think of that

@willdepue You know what’s better than experiencing live events remotely? Experiencing live events in person.

@willdepue workin' on it 🫡

@willdepue The only thing stopping VR from mass adoption is the form factor and the fact that it looks ridiculous

@willdepue Did you try Vision Pro’s 12k 3D 180 library?

@willdepue Yet another reason why Oculus was the biggest fumble of all time.

@willdepue So I have been thinking about this. Gaussian splatting and the speed of 3d reconstruction is the problem. But in a delay basis this is theoretically possible.

@willdepue This would also be the biggest hack ever for workouts. Imagine a rainy Monday morning home workout and suddenly your brain is in the middle of a Coldplay concert trying to get you to vibe and dance.

@willdepue hmm. You might be onto something for large events like the World Cup.

@willdepue @exponentialtism 🤣🤣

@bryancsk @willdepue Yeah it was cool that Vantage tried to focus on that niche, but it’s hard to build a business off the market this early.

@willdepue It will happen in the future

@willdepue yeah audio was the best part of vr

@willdepue Apple is the only one that does this well and it’s hit or miss what events they have
