Art In VR: A Talk On New Art Creation Methods

So, about 8 months after #Zuckerburg pulled the plug on his #Metaverse grift, I feel like talking about the actual proposal and the bullet we dodged on the grounds that #Meta was completely incapable of delivering the kind of experience #VirtualWorlds like #SecondLife, #VRChat, and #Resonite have become popular for.

#VirtualReality is an emerging and expanding technology, which is becoming more accessible and widely used by the day. I really do think there will be a day when, as he was claiming, #VR experiences are the norm and we regularly interact with these #VirtualSpaces. That's why it's so important to keep it decentralized, in the hands of small companies like @Resonite, and even expanded to a standard you can self-host like #LindenLabs did with #SL.

A community-driven VR is a thriving, interesting one, where artists can express themselves doors aren't closed on engineers who want to innovate, and users can use it how THEY choose to. It's important to work towards that.
