One of the founders of Simula here. Thank you for your comment.

We're about to update our website (www.simulavr.com) with pictures of our prototype, pricing information, and a blog.

The first blog post's working title is "We don’t want to socialize in a Metaverse; we just want a productive VR computer". Here's a draft of it: https://gist.github.com/georgewsinger/611767c7a5dd63a12f1d93...

TLDR: The Metaverse is jamming VR through the framing of "giant social network". Maybe this isn't entirely bad, but to us what's exciting about the technology is its potential as a "Tool for Thought", or something which can help us create new things and get more stuff done in ways previously unimaginable.
