“Overcoming the barriers to VR in HE”
#SUVRConference
VR in the 80s & 90s showed the potential about being *in* another world
The potential is still the same but there are barriers..
#SUVRConference
Barriers-
Materiality of VR- VR is by definition virtual but is material: headsets= neck pain, cables = tangled up etc.
VR doesn’t replicate your body. Note- See EXISTENZ (1999)
Headsets cut you off from the world- your in VR or not
#SUVRConference
Barriers-
Interfaces- currently reflect those from gaming
VR needs to develop its own interface in fear that it might alienate non gamers
#SUVRConference
Barriers-
The Language of VR- no current discourse, constantly comparing it to something else
Requires a new shared language to articulate the educational benefits to students
#SUVRConference
Barriers-
Cybersickness- women are more susceptible than men
Women have wider field of view so headsets are designed for men
#SUVRConference
Barriers-
Cost- Mucho £££, cheaper platforms (Google cardboard) still require expensive smartphones and limit experience
#SUVRConference
Conclusions- very very exciting (thunderbolt & lightning)
Still not quite there but so much potential
#SUVRConference

@DCBMEP @SimonFraser00 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg They export more in to the single market because, wait for it, they are a much bigger country, economy & producer of goods.

They also don't just trade on WTO terms. They have 100s of bilateral agreements on things like mutual recognition g other non tariff barriers to ease trade
@DCBMEP @SimonFraser00 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg The EU, USA & China are the 3 leading economies in the world. They don't have FTAs with each other because (of their size) they are the 3 different trade ecosystems that most other countries pick which toalign with, having more limited relations with the others.
@DCBMEP @SimonFraser00 @Jacob_Rees_Mogg & that's the point. We go from setting the rules of one of these giant ecosystems, to having to just pick which one we become subservient to. The one you pick limits the extent you can deal with the others. This is why it's so hard to do FTAs between them.

Hello, darling #Exvangelical fam. What a fucking week, huh? I feel like I say that every week but let's be real, every week it is true. This crazed dystopia we are living in does not seem to let up.
So much love to the Jewish community this week in the midst of so much grief.
I will include my usual warning - if you don't feel up to this, that is fine. No one is requiring you to sit through deconstruction of a narcissistic asshole, you are loved and valued and your safety and well being is the most important thing.
If you DO feel like talking about Dobson and FotF today, this is the place for it. I'm not even sure I do, but we're gonna give it a shot, see how it goes.
Here's the link to the moment with all the threads, in case you need to catch up.

I love how y'all are pretending that Black women nerds don't exist. And that we aren't criticizing these shitty misogynistic narratives from the front row because we were in the same schools & at the same parties.
Hi, hello my nickname was Books. I was 12 in the 8th grade & had hair like a flock of seagulls. And I still had a nerdy Black boyfriend. Can you guess why? Because we both used our words & talked to each other. We had spirited arguments about Thundercats vs GI Joe.
Like...the arguments about WCW vs WWF (now WWE), Storm vs Wonder Woman, who was a better detective...listen, the list of nerdy shit to discuss is long as hell. Now let's talk about the Black nerds who didn't get dates. Because yes I knew those people too. Ready?

Should I ramble about Yoshida Shin, or at least what he's done? 🤔
I'll take Qu and Siliva's likes as a Yes. Okay, let's see.
This is Yoshida Shin himself. Pretty average guy. Pretty unsuspecting. Can't talk much on his early work, as it goes back to some really generic 90s anime.

Just saw the @ReadyPlayerOne movie and want to know how it stacks up against the reality of virtual reality? This thread that breaks down what RP1 gets right, not-quite-right, and flat-out wrong about the future of #VR, immersion, & the metaverse.
We’ll also examine the tech #ReadyPlayerOne left out altogether. After all, the film is set in 2045, and given the exponential rate of technological advancement, 27 years will likely yield some dramatic changes in society.
There are a few articles that have pointed out some of the basics, but having worked in the industry for 4+ years, I want to paint a fuller picture of our impending reality, with RP1 as the jumping-off point.

Many friends have expressed interest in learning more about the VR/AR landscape, but don’t know where to start. As an active member of this community for 4+ years, I thought I’d kick off a recurring #FF thread of the people you need to pay attention in XR.
Keep an eye out for new names every Friday 💪 NOTE: this is not a comprehensive/ranked list. These are people who I have known to be valuable sources in #VR, #AR, & #MR.
KENT BYE
You have to start with the Voice of VR himself: @KentBye. Armed with his trusty microphone, he’s become a fixture at conferences—not just for his expansive knowledge in emerging technologies (check out his new @voicesofai podcast), but for his killer dance moves.
