I find it despicable that support for working hardware can be just abandoned after only a few years, and at least a basic driver should be released (ideally open source) if not the full WMR package, which few cared about anyway.

I'm hoping that Monado takes off at least as I only used Windows begrudgingly anyway.

Update: No longer friends with AR/VR. Now Copilot/ChatGPT (OpenAI) is best friend.

I can see this meme in my head

It's like you have AR built in! (is called imagination)

[–] OutlierBlue@lemmy.ca 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Not everyone has it built in.

Aphantasia

[–] DarkMetatron@feddit.de 0 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Having Aphantasia doesn't mean that a person has no imagination, he just has no inner eye, no way to see the imagination in his mind.

I know that because I have lots of imagination but have Aphantasia. World building for roleplay and stories is where I am really good, as long as I don't have to do anything with a visual component like drawing

There are different forms of aphantasia. I have to try really hard to visualize something in my mind and often have to go into excruciating details to have a clear visualization. Something like TTRPG is unplayable for me because either I drag the entire party into mostly useless details (and we spend at least half an hour in one room) or I play like I have literally no senses. I could just be a talking head in someone's bag.

In my case I'm pretty close to "no imagination".

Yeah it is, like most stuff with the brain, a spectrum from low to high Aphantasia.

I can't visualize anything in my mind, I can describe what I know or what I make up but that's it a list of information or details, when it comes to world building highly imaginative details and information, but I have no clue how it really looks like. That's why I love AI art generators, I can input all my imaginary details into the prompt and it then emulates my missing inner eye. Something I never could on my own, how should I draw something when I have only words to describe it? For me AI Art tools are a godsend, a pacemaker for my inner eye so to speak.

So, this is kind of funny, because when you think "cyberpunk" "high tech, low life", there always was/is the question of how this tech abundance but also poverty can coexist. Surely it takes a lot of money to build all this?

It's waste. That's the answer. It's the repurposed, discarded corporate trash that didn't meet the quarterly goal. It's all starting to make sense you guys!! In new and terrifying ways!
