“lackluster consumer adaption of the tech we love so much.”
Heyyy, you deliverd the answer to your question already in that sentence, Drax. You and a small minority of mostly guys love technology.
Not everybody does. particularly we girls want to see in how far your tech will help us living a better life. So far what we see are clunky, unconvincing things like expensive but nausea inducing headsets, which you need expensive, overpowered computers for. And al that to enter a virtual world which isn’t even half as nice as the good old SL. Most of us aren’t in SL for the half-baked tech but for the community and things we can do in world. Turns out in Sansar there’s not much to do but say Aaaaaw and WOW!
I don’t pay hundreds and thousands of woolong in order to vomit better. Nobody in their right mind would jump on such bad tech! Nobody!
Orca it saddens me a bit that you don’t seem to be very familiar with my work which always puts community over tech 🙂 i hope you give the just released feature film a chance as well as my conclusion: people matter! not the tech. or as my protagonist varahi lusch puts it: “…if it is just more fairground rides that is a bit of a low aim if we consider ourselves a civilized advanced species…”
btw our 114 Harvest community in Sansar is quite vibrant. Why? Because we are inclusive and transcend gender, age, ethnicity!
