You’re caught up in your interpretation and that’s stopping you from entertaining what I’m saying. Scanning, segmenting, and projecting objects and people into a virtual representation is part of metas vision for the metaverse. An example is one of the marketing materials showing a projection of a person from somewhere else playing chess with somebody. This IS metas vision of metaverse, not what you may think of (which is horizon worlds if I had to guess)

And even if you are in horizon worlds, image segmentation is useful for room/object tracking for 6dof. And also so you don't stub your toe on the coffee table while you're in VR.
But that’s not a feature of Horizon Worlds/the Metaverse/literally any other VR/AR experience.

How many times do I have to say the same thing in different ways? You two are describing basic features of AR and VR systems and pretending like it’s the next big innovation in AR that only the Metaverse could possibly come up with.

Did you even bother to read my comment? The other guy plainly didn’t. It’s almost like it’s easier to defend this strawman that the two of you keep bringing up which has nothing to do with what I said than to actually read what I am saying and properly respond to it.
