That is very impressive.

Very much the fucking around stage. Quick fire projects, as they come to me, intended to be half finished if that. Lot of technical stuff to wrap my head around. Need to approach it in bite size chunks.

I'm giving myself about 6 months to get up to speed with the toolkit and then the plan is to create "Spaces" think VR equivalent of desktop wallpaper or ringtones. I reckon these will be a quick kill market when VR kicks off, however many years from now. I want to be in on the ground floor with a site full of - The bridge of the nostromo - and - the city of rivendell - and abstract trip mandala lazor pulsing brain flatteners.

Zuckerberg is right - VR is going to be social as fuck. People going to want places to hang out and do the shit they do in the IRL whilst they're learning the new shit they can do in cyberspace actual. I'ma give them a bunch of free ones and some premium shit they gotta blockchain me for. If I eventually get really good there's the bespoke route. Top dollar for unique, one-off experience. "I have a P3nT4gR4m in my collection" 

I would like to join your very lucrative cult plz. Where does I haz to sign? Does it have to be my own blood or may I have a wiling proxy do it?

Have you considered how much the OCCULT cats might pay for a fucking meme-lab or something? Virtual reading room - libraries stuffed with books old new as you pay for them!

The average homosapien is highly susceptible to effective 2-d media manipulation.  VR is a more impactful tool for impacting the psyche by a factor that could be employed to compare a toffee hammer to a gigaton-yield nuclear warhead. There's little doubt in my mind that vast swathes of the populace will become programmable zombies. Programmable, not by clever manipulation and lots of knowledge of psychology and neuroscience but by assets downloaded from the interbutts.

VR will herald the dawn of, among other things, the weaponised meme.

Gigachurches... all paying for space in Father's house before death now able to experience a PREVIEW of their chosen "post-life".

*PSSTT* hey kid! Wanna see Valhalla? I got these dank VRspace hookups!

That's a huge step on from the last stuff I saw. Definitely a good time to start finding your feet in the medium.

Short of a global extinction event, I'm pretty sure it's a case of when, not if we transition to an augmented existence. Track record. Human race has widely adopted any half way decent technological revolution that's come along in the past. We've gone from painting stick figures on the inside of a cave to simulating fabrics and fluids and the interaction of light on metal, all in realtime and projecting it onto your eyeballs at 90 frames a second!

Now is always the starting point. Right now the shit is clunky as hell and on the pricey side of any kind of mass market. Couple of hundred thou, here and there. But, for someone in my position, with my long term interest in the medium, it's actually impressively useful. Just enough fidelity to be able to get to work in there. More than I was expecting, tbh.

AR like you say, pretty much unlimited applications. I can easily think of a couple of uses offhand for pretty much any business sector and gaming applications progress perfectly with the tech.

I guess porn just needs to get involved in a big way now to move shit along faster.


It's odd to think that in a couple of decades, people will literally see the world differently to each other.

There is something viscerally disconcerting about VR pron as it stands just now. It's wrong on so many more levels than the normal shit. I can't get enough

... and we never saw P3nT4gR4m again.

So I had another fuck around with spiderman. Went more humanoid wi the head this time. Was thinking about what Nigel said about unsettling. I like unsettling. Unsettling is good. More humanoid = more unsettling?

So now I can pose this little bastard all over the place. I'm totally stoked. First time I've ever managed to do this and it's awesome fun!

[Junkenstein]

Friendly looking fellow. Looks more like a NPC than a potential enemy now.

[P3nT4gR4m]

Heh, you could be right. Crossed right over from creepy to lovable. Nother couple of poses. Going all out for expression here. Wee sleepy baby spiderman and climbing down a thread to greet you.

[The Wizard Joseph]

I don't even know what to say. I think that I don't know quite how I feel about it is worth noting. Totally not going to see this fucker in my dreams or anything.

Ever go to bed and dream about a new game or job? What if you do both for a living practically every day? How could you tell for sure that you weren't dreaming? Or did you just forget to save the file?

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

Awww, sweet little naked antspider manbaby!

[Mesozoic Mister Nigel]

I imagine it both eating and laying eggs.

[Junkenstein]

It's not far off the humanoid hybrid from alien resurrection.
