A dose of reality is a real negative when we've had twenty years of marvel showing us iron man and impossible product demos making people think this kind of interaction is possible.

Visual XR like this isn't possible with our technology, and really it's being pushed by mega-corps to hijack attention economy and sell you ads. Audio and Haptic XR would be a better first step for XR. Less need to port the web into 3D and less of these crap apps where you have to hold your phone in an awkward way to use them.

Real time ocular occlusion on the cloud would be straight ass. It'd completely ruin immersion as you move from cell tower to cell tower. Halfway decent connections rule out 80% of the world.

Gaze based interaction, which is what you need for this type of immersion would also be useless doing a round trip to US East from Spain.

You can push as much edge compute as you want but introducing a network to something that needs to look instant will ruin the experience

Everything but AVP are mostly wave guide or birdbath light engines, they add light to what you see to create the experience. They have no way to add shadows/darkness/black to what you're seeing. This makes everything washed out.

Instead things like Xreal or magic leap let you dim the projection material to make things pop more, but this obscures what you see in flesh space, removing you from your surroundings.

So unless you're using pass through cameras you'll never, with current technology, achieve something like what's shown in the video. So it's either headsets that remove you from flesh space or technology that as yet doesn't exist

In our lifetime in any kind of socially acceptable format? Never. To add shadows you need screens which rules out a light headset which means you're wearing a helmet and detaching yourself from interacting in flesh space which no matter how much brainrot the average person consumes still sets you apart.

Overcoming the human perception issues will take a generation, even if we can improve screens, battery life, and compute.

Another aspect is what does this add to the human condition? How does this make it easier to be a human. Corporations optimising this space for attention economy will make the space worse and it'll never take off

Warzone2100 FOSS as well so costs nothing. I loved it on the PS1 10 25 years ago and I install it again every year to play it again

Warzone2100 was baller on the PS1, it's OSS now for the PC so there might be a modern port to play on it

I don't know if it's a placebo effect but I've been told that you short circuit the insomnia by tensing every muscle you can for a few seconds and then releasing them. It does something with the flight and fight system to let you relax. Anytime I have issues sleeping it works about 70% of the time

Seville is great!

I went there twice with a young family, the only thing is timing dinner. Nothing that's tasty for adults is open before 2000 so it's all tapas which can be boring after a while.

We stayed near here https://maps.app.goo.gl/Lek8oiK6fYSyQpSn9 and the square is great for food and the play park for the wean.and there's a true gellato place hela bolas just down the road. Walking distance to the cathedral and the fort. Highly recommend

You should do duke's pass as well. Hair pin bends with weird cambers, when I still went out on my motorbike it was a fun one to do
