Also high risk of getting the screen of the headset burned. If sunlight hits one of the lenses, like when you take the headset off, it can literally burn a mark onto the screen. The lenses are really strong. Just a few seconds of hot summer midday sun can burn little spots on the screen.
I mean... I made up a VR enviroment that's just my bedroom; but only in the physical size and shape. I can alter the appearance, setting, decor and still not trip and be able to see and use things in the room while in VR without using passthrough. It's much more cozy than the real world space. 🤷♂️
Why do strangers photograph and spend time thinking about what other people do around them when they have zero contextual understanding of what is going on in those other people's lives?
I'm pretty sure this photo tells us more about the photographer and OP than it tells us about the kid in the photo, because we can see more of what the photographer sees(and thus understand more of what the photographer is doing/implying) rather than what the kid is seeing/doing.
I have multiple relatives who only seem to be able communicate ideas to other people in the form of complaints and gossip.
There's a very strong correlation between that and being more negative, more conservative/Trumpy, more bigoted, and definitely more miserable to be around.
I grew up in that kind of environment, and I swear there are pathways buried deep in my brain that still try to generate the "look at that stupid asshole doing a thing I wouldn't choose to do, or that I'm jealous over" emotion. However, it only strengthens my resolve to not carry that bullshit forward into the next generation.
Same, but I played it again recently with my kids, and it's so tame... Lol. I realized "Wow, this was only scary back in the 90s because it was my first 3D game"
It's sort of funny now with horror games like Iron Lung or Mouth Washing using old-school early 3d graphics being genuinely frightening, and here we were being spooked by a cartoon eel.
I’ma hafta go ahead and say this is ok. Vibe I’m getting is kid is ND and perhaps has a learning disability. Maybe this is an immersive way to participate in an activity with his family.
No concern if I’m wrong, just love learning about new ways of showing my fellow humans that they have an impact on me.

Is that the water level from Mario 64?
e0qdk@reddthat.com · 35 pts · 250d
Yeah, that looks like Jolly Roger Bay.
Snowpix@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 250d
Jolly Roger Bay in VR is all fun and games 'til you come face-to-face with that giant eel.
BigDiction@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 250d
I wish I could patent that beautiful representation of water.
ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world · 6 pts · 250d
I was guessing this or Zelda OoT's fishing spot. Although, I think the latter had lighter colored water, even at dusk.

My first thought was Zora's Domain.
ZoopZeZoop@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 250d
Yeah, that was very possible, too.

...Mario 64 first floor water level. I think it was called "Jolly Roger Bay" or some shit
IzzyScissor@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 250d
It's not even calibrated for stereoscopic viewing - this is just an overlay on a screenshot! The VR experience would be terrible!
Dasus@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 249d
Well someone's made an unreal engine remake out of
it anda comparable N64 game, and there's now some hack that allows any unrealengine game to be VRThus dude yeah

I knew i knew those pixels. Thanks
It was my late grandma's favourite video game. To watch, that is. She also enjoyed OOT, but never watched the Shadow Temple.
Jax@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 249d
That's adorable
Edit: I genuinely mean this, the idea of a lil' ol' grandma being terrified of the Shadow Temple is heartwarming.
SlartyBartFast@sh.itjust.works · 4 pts · 249d
I mean, that monster with the hands coming out from the ground would scare the shit out of anyone

Correct. Although grabdma wasn't that little by most definitions anyway lol.

Why? It’s all for those internet points. The approval of complete strangers on the internet is why anything like this is done.

I'm gonna have to agree with that kid. Most real beaches are nasty.

Shit, i think he's got the right idea tbh
chautalees@lemmy.world · 9 pts · 250d
To be fair there's a stranger, possibly judgemental, with a camera photographing him. Atleast the Virtual Beach has tranquility, relatively speaking.

Is that Zuck's metaverse? Probably not, too much detail.
The_Picard_Maneuver@piefed.world · 1 pts · 250d
It looks like the water level in Mario 64 to me. Like, the door on the far right when you walk into the castle.
