Listen "Let's Be Pessimistic About VR"
Episode Synopsis
EPISODE 54 // We don't much about Virtual Reality but we can still be pessimistic about it! This week, we promise to come up with UNIQUE and DYSTOPIC scenarios for VR. We are challenging ourselves to go above and beyond, say, the plot of a BLACK MIRROR episode. Yes you might be tied to a VR pleasure machine forever; yes human interaction might all cease. We. Are. Not. Interested. In Those. Scenarios. What if VR made you vomit in a good way? What if VR lets you get married, but there are strippers at your wedding? What if a dolphin let gas loose into your face? All that, and more, on this episode of Downersssssss. Plugs this week: Jaron Lanier's DAWN OF THE NEW EVERYTHING (Jack) [a book on Virtual Reality] Seedboxes (Hao) [for pirates] #thenavyiscoming Spotify's Jazz Vibes playlist (Kate) [email protected] // @downersradio // sorry the episode has been late two weeks in a row, work is stressing me out
