Ok. I 'm going to say it. I am in love with Iona.. Let's face it. She's talented. Smart. Out going. Genuine. Honest. Curious. And Independent. Plus she plays golf. If I were only 40 yrs younger. Lol. Cheers you two.
This was great, I really enjoy the casual style. You and Rick are right, this is the future and it is concerning how it could impact society. Also, I highly recommend reading “Ready Player One”, there is a movie too but it isn’t as good. It is all about a future where people live inside a virtual world. “The story, set in a dystopia in 2045, follows protagonist Wade Watts on his search for an Easter egg in a worldwide virtual reality game, the discovery of which would lead him to inherit the game creator's fortune.”
Try exVRience golf.. it’s the best one in my opinion.
How bizzare…. I have an oculas with this golf game, and when I'm playing on it, I watch rick shiels.
Up for a game rick?
VR is SO exciting but has been hamstrung by controls, tech power, low res, uncomfortable equipment etc. These are improving all the time, though.
We really need more publishers to make great games & software – it's so frustrating! It's the usual hardware/software, chicken & egg scenario. The opportunities for leisure & training are really interesting.
Sad that Meta got hold of Oculus – investment is good, but I get the feeling they'll try to over-control it & tie it too closely to FaceBook etc.
Stumbled upon this channel. Keep it up!
Well, Rick is explaining escapism, which many of us engage in when times aren't great. Some drift off into entertainment, others their favorite adult beverages, but it all has the same purpose. To get our minds off of the reality we have created, which is most likely not what we imagined in our youth.
Beautiful and terrifying. Great video đź‘Ť
first hand I've seen the effect of smartphones on young kids… it's not great. many are detached from the real world. VR will put this on steroids. concerning for sure… we all need to be diacussing the simple question of "just because we can do it, should we do it?"
When Rick said it scared him I thought of the movie Avatar. The main character was paralyzed from the waist down but was fully mobile when driving his avatar. If I remember correctly (someone correct me if I'm wrong), the head scientist said that he needed to take care of his body when he was not connected. This is what I see happening to many people. A terrifying possibility.
The future is coming. Ha 🙌⛳️
I love that game, would like to lose to you on there sometime. Wouldn't even be close.
Reject the metaverse
God she’s cute
Great idea, at least you can get a tee time.
Really it's pretty old tech, just re-hashed in a different form.
There’s sexual tension between Iona and Rick…
I’ve been a fan of Rick for a long time! I currently work as an employee at Meta so to hear Rick talk about his pros/cons and to have his finger on the pulse about the metaverse was very cool to see. The only bit I would object to is that the metaverse is not meant to take away time from real life, it is meant to enhance the experiences that we already have via 2D (which is already quite often). Either way, great video Rick and Iona!
You guys, love ya but.. this channel is a mess, podcasts mixed with all sorts of random content. (Suggestion: separate ur content, leave the podcasts on audio or the other channel and keep this channel what you originally built it on) I'm getting rid of ur other channels to better get the content I like.
My god what is with people freaking out lol. This sh has been happening since we got internet access on our phones. Escaping reality didn’t start with VR lmao. And no one is in position to judge each other without knowing where we all come from to say that it is _______.
And yes, it’s unfortunate that technology is kinda driven by money rather than innovation first but that has also been our predictable reality/future
Enjoyed the video, I have this game, it’s on offer on the oculus app, pity the golf grip attachments are so expensive compared to the game!
When you think of it. Rick has never been a guest at anyones channel till since goodgood
What golf controller was that?
Total Ready Player One vibes
The beginning of the end.
Any Golf+ centuryclub members here?
“Ready player one” movie
If you haven’t seen it Rick, (which I think you must have,) do watch it!!
Good vid mate. The golf on Oculus Q2 is pretty good.
