Episode Summary

https://3speak.tv/watch?v=brianoflondon/tptvodsw Here it is! My presentation from HiveFest 6 last night. What an amazing experience the whole event was and what a huge achievement for @roelandp and everyone who worked on making @hivefest into what it has become. I do want to attend a real life HiveFest one day but the experience of presenting in VR is as close to real as I've ever felt. You can find my slides here on slides.com. The QR codes to pay out sats have been used already but if you follow the steps on the penultimate slide you can get 1033 sats into any Lightning wallet that allows you to create an invoice of that amount. It's limited to 1 use per Hive address and won't last forever. Some thoughts on VR presenting with the Oculus Quest 2 headset Comfort First of all I am not a fan of my kids' headset. I've never felt comfortable with it. I've always struggled wearing glasses inside the helmet so this time I bought daily disposable contacts which definitely helped with comfort. My only problem is they don't replace my varifocals so while I'm wearing the contacts I can barely use my phone or even my desktop computer. I'll just mention but not go into details: I'm not thrilled that this device is owned and sold by Facebook, and if you've followed my involvement with @jpbliberty you'll know why. Hands Having watched the video now I realise that sitting down in a chair with arm rests gave my in VR character a very funny stance. That wasn't such a good idea. Motion The reason I was sitting down was to avoid bumping into things in my office. It's not very big but I probably should have stood up to present. The act of swivelling on my chair, however, was very useful because this doesn't make me feel ill. Activating a turn or a movement with the joysticks on the controllers is very touchy for me and not a pleasant experience so I avoided it as much as I could. Presentation Once you're on stage and lookin up at the people it really is a good analog to a real presentation. Your slides appear in the air next to you showing the present and next slide and with a clicker to advance. It's magical. You can move this virtual screen around and look around the audience. The audience can wave their hands or emit a stream of emojis above them. Surreal but it does amount to real feedback of a type you just don't get speaking into a Zoom call for example. Audio quality I was blown away by the sound quality from this Oculus headset. While using it you hear sounds in an impressive 3D way from little speakers on the sides directly next to your ears. It's not in or over your ears, but playing right into them. The quality of the microphone and my voice in the recorded livestream is astonishing. Very clean and not much different from the big Yeti microphone I use on my desk from time to time. Questions from the Audience This also works surprisingly well and is just an already good experience.
