CALL ME MAGGIE

Facebook’s vision for social VR is misguided (Wired UK)

Mark Zuckerberg envisions a world where you strap on a pair of goggles and, through the wonders of virtual reality, you meet face-to-face with your doctor. Mark Zuckerberg is wrong.

Keith Wayne Brown‘s insight:

"This is really a new social platform," Zuckerberg said Tuesday afternoon during a conference call with analysts and reporters. "We’re making a long term bet that immersive virtual and augmented reality will become a part of people’s daily lives." At one point, he even said that Oculus has the potential to be the "most social platform ever."

I am a PhD student in Philosophy and Religion at the University of North Texas-Denton. I began my vocation through a nine year apprenticeship with my mentor, Richard M. Owsley. I can be found around Denton troubling students and professors about this and that. A fringe scholar wandering the borderlands between the Academy and the World, I love the hell out of Socrates and Yoda while tending to act like William S. Burroughs and Jaba the Hut. My current projects include studies of the Dào Dé Jing, the intersection of Karl Jaspers’ periechontology with Tarot, and the challenge of queering existential hermeneutics.
