If I were within your proximity, I can assure you I have no interest in your minigame progress while you chopped cucumbers. I would however hope that you had avoided physical injury.
Nitpick: The EU didn't mandate intrusive consent popups. That was malicious compliance and/or laziness by advertisers, GDPR "tool" developers, and website owners. Website developers could've put an "opt in to tracking" option in a separate settings page that users would click on a gear icon in the top right corner to access.
Why does it have to be a "distracting" experience? What if the game was showing you where to cut to get uniform slices and grading the uniformity of your cuts? Then you'd be focused on the activitiy at hand while still enjoying that sweet sweet gamified dopamine hit.
I can't wait for the day games like "PowerWash Simulator" or "Supermarket Simulator" come to VR. Imagine, you could wash stuff or work at a supermarket, while also exercising your body!
This sounds like a great way to chop off fingertips. Take it from someone who has done "just the tip" once, a sharp knife will do it with almost no effort, just like slicing through a tomato
I want to force kitchen staff to wear this and have it remind them to change gloves based on what they’ve touched either being a potential allergen or contaminant. Makes me cringe when I see people who work with food also working the register, for instance. Too easy to get lazy and not change the gloves.
We’ve already agreed to certain food standards. The fact that people don’t follow them is enough for me to say we need something more strict. Is it a headset? Maybe not. But periodic training and availability of PPE aren’t doing the job either. The shortage of labor at the low end of the market doesn’t help, either. What I’d rather have than a germophobic headset is for people to take pride in their work (whether you serve food or write code), but that also seems to be a lost cause. I’m lucky if I can get a restaurant to count the number of items in the bag before handing it to the delivery driver.
Well, as someone living in the United States, I live with the saddening understanding that our military spending indicates that we're willing to immiserate large swaths of the world's population for increasingly diminishing returns.
It's authoritarian enough that I have no choice but to support our military decisions through the taxes I pay.
this seems like micromanagement taken to the next level and I hope if any such thing becomes "normal" that legislation will stop it. We aren't robots meant to react to green and red spots on an AR headset.
At this point I'd be satisfied with a Siri is that just a literal link to a command line. It's horribly useless as it is now, 80% or less accuracy on basic things.
