Children have hijacked the metaverse:

Meta Horizon Worlds Has Been Taken Over by Children

Lowered age restrictions and cheaper VR headsets have led to young kids hijacking the metaverse. Maybe we should let them keep it.

It's like a Saebo glove on steroids!



I use a TENS/NMES unit as part of my OT/PT:





As well as a Bioness precision nerve stimulator on my thigh & calf:



I've been in a wheelchair multiple times in my life due to health issues; the Bioness unit is what allowed me to walk normally during rehab sessions to regain proper movement, prevent atrophy, etc. REALLY cool to see the same technology going into the prosthetics & gaming spaces!

I love how they fit optical eye tracking in such a small package. Their should be no excuse for other HMD manufacturers to not include this feature, preferentially for free, in their future headsets.

But yeah, this is amazing technology in such a small package. Why can't other manufacturers do the same?

 

[Linux23]

I wish they made those glasses with a smaller frame. How is a person supposed to record and take pictures without anyone noticing those big frames, especially on men.

Is there a firm release date for this thing? Do you think it's going to be released later on this year?

So they build tiny VR goggles for mice while humans have to wear bulky ones. WTF scientists?!

They have to put the tech somewhere.

Also, I think that they consider it a feature, not a bug, that you can't just film women without them noticing.
