Chief Scientist of Oculus: Still exploring VR side effects and social VR components

Although some people have already lost patience with VR (because the best heads on the market are still too expensive to connect to cumbersome computers and lack good content), Oculus Chief Scientist Michael Abelosh is on VR. The future is very confident. As the chief scientist of Facebook's Oculus, he focuses on conducting a series of research in the company's laboratories to promote the development of technology. From improving the way we look at virtual objects to the best way to track us in space, Abrash is constantly working hard. Evidra compiled a brief interview with Abrach’s recent MIT Science and Technology Review and discussed some of the ongoing research conducted by Oculus. We still know little about the impact of virtual reality on us. Abras said that he is studying specific aspects of it. As for how VR will affect universal humans, this is a very general question, and I don't know how I would answer. Part of the reason is that until we reach the point where you can use VR for a long time, it is very difficult for us to evaluate. Part of the reason is that VR needs to be good enough so that we can conduct proper research. In virtual reality, we don't need to look too much like ourselves, and others can "recognize" us. The method used by social networking Facebook Spaces is to present our cartoon version. So in Abelashi's study, what exactly is it that makes us like "we", that even other people who know us in real life want to interact with us in VR? Abelosh replied. What makes you a unique person, so that others will respond like this? It's not about a real thing. The real concern of our lab in Pittsburgh is what constitutes socialization and what are the important factors? If you ask me, my guess is that there are 1000, of which about 5 to 10 are really important. Something that will make you completely satisfied with the interaction between us. Do you see your hand movements? If I meet you in virtual reality, I will see your body language, and I will say "Ha, this is Rachel." I don't even need to think about it. It's like, I feel like I'm with you. The way you smile, the way your eyebrows rise, the way you nod, your hand movements, and even the way you sit can help me recognize you.
