The company i work for is a bank and was holding the menagerie bag and so suddenly was trying to canvas us all how to use it.
They tried to get us psyched by showing us that they had modeled the stuffing bank board room in the universe. They were like "you could hold your meetings HERE if you were in the METAVERSE!"
I was like "why would I want to virtually go to that room, for anyone reason ever?"
The presenter go so fucking smug and was like "im glad you asked, this is literally a room from our head office. Top floor. New York. literally wall street."
I was like "in the meta verse is your only boundaries of where you could go the limits of your imagination?"
"YES!"
"And given the unlimited possibilities you modeled a stuffy conference room?"
I'd literally rather be in a sewer. The absolute brainlets running the show blows my mind.
VR is fucking cool. Give it some space to breathe and for fucks sake don't use it to somehow put people in a fucking nightmare (conference room). I say this without a hint of sarcasm: my 3 year old could have provided better metaverse direction.
