“Speaking of virtual reality glasses, you have to wear them, they cramp your movements, you can’t feel fully social and are confined within your metaclass universe..

In April, startups from St. Petersburg Mining University unveiled their prototype of Russia’s first mixed (augmented) reality glasses. However, it turned out that the domestic development is essentially based on Chinese technology. The duration of the glasses are claimed to be six hours, but exactly what the glasses look like and what their specifications are, it is not clear. The editorial team was unable to find a prototype photo or a video demonstration of the glasses.
<Raja Koduri, senior vice president of Intel's Architecture, Graphics and Software Division, doesn't expect the meta universe to appear anytime soon. To realize the concept of virtual reality, it is necessary to increase the computing power of modern computers a thousandfold. Current performance is simply "not enough to realize that vision," Koduri says.
