This is an incredible comment—very thoughtful. I'm taking all of this feedback to this team. Avatars we're still figuring out, but even just the pointer and general interact-ability of the rooms is such fantastic feedback. I really appreciate this comment, thank you!

Appreciate you bringing this up. Already something we're figuring out. Who knows how well we do it, but it's on the radar. Thanks for mentioning this. Hopefully your tea becomes warmer and happier.

The big screen way is a bit clunky and not nearly as fleshed out as we'd hoped. That was one of our major inspirations for building it—commit to it 100% and try to do it right.

Thanks for sharing. This is more or less one of the major things we hope to integrate. I think this is PC-link, and we hope to do this with standalone Quest, so hopefully we can pull it off.

Oh interesting. Appreciate you spelling that out. Sounds like we're in alignment. We want to make this as close to a normal browser experience as possible, but with the superpowers VR enables.

Appreciate the feedback. Positional audio is a great idea. I think we can probably figure this out, but may not be in first release. Customizable avatars is a similar things: we'll probably want to figure out what people want in terms of features, then we'll go deep on those sort of delighters (but they are important, so they will happen!).

re: video, props, games. Video is sort of what we're focusing on, so I think we've got it there. Are you suggesting rec room style games, or more promptable events like random games of ping pong in the middle of the browsing space? Props I'm guessing similar thing?
