The incentive is that you can take your headset off and have a real face-to-face conversation with your coworkers. And when you want to go back and focus, you put the headset back on and are free of distractions.
I tried this for a few days with the Quest 2 in a coworking space. I thought it was cool, but the displays weren't good enough and I had trouble reading small text.
You have a device that can present a virtual reality that you can share with people all around the world and you want to use it to visit an office and block out the people there? That seems a little backwards to me!

I watch a lot of Grady's videos and there's a comment I've always wanted to make but I don't leave comments on YouTube. I'm going to leave that comment here: it would be great if he spent more time going over the models that he builds and really showing what they're representing. Show it from different angles, show it in slow motion; really explain what's happening and what we're seeing. Note: I haven't watched this particular video yet.
He clearly spends a lot of time building high quality small-scale versions of things to show how they work, but more often than not he just shows those things while the voiceover isn't actually talking about what's being shown. Or when he is talking about the thing being shown, it's a very brief comment and then he moves on.
I love his videos, but I very often finish them and think "I could have learned more if he spent some more time explaining in detail what's happening with the model, and replaying some component of it several times over as he explains it in more detail."
Just want to mention that his email is on his blog, and he's surprisingly responsive for having such a big following. I once wrote him with some unrelated questions and he gave me a detailed response, which I really appreciated!
Workplace chat app, you use your work email to sign in and chatter anonymously with your coworkers and others in the industry. You are ID'ed only by the company you work for.
Complete guess here but I would suspect that means some items are made in Germany and some are made in China or elsewhere (meaning, even the same model may be produced in both locations). If they are printing "MADE IN GERMANY" directly on it then it will be obvious which ones aren't, because they would lack the print. And that would likely degrade the perceived quality of those not made in Germany vs those that are. And Sennheiser doesn't want you to think that some of their items are built with better quality than others.
Of course, people can look at the fine-print and determine where it was made. But that's a lot less obvious than the silk screened badge not being there.
Unless something has changed recently that I'm unaware of, that definitely isn't currently possibly on Android itself. I assume it won't be possible using the Windows-version of the Amazon AppStore either. But maybe this will cause the devs to start pushing to make that a thing.
Yes, people love getting stuff cheap. But if, say, an auto shop was offering cheap oil changes because they're just dumping the used oil down the sewer instead of properly disposing of it, "people like cheap oil changes" isn't justification for the continued harm.
Tell that to nearly the entirety of the global textile, chemical and energy industries (to name a few). Causing harm is not, nor has it ever been, a deterrent to operating a business.
Sure! But "other industries do bad things too" does not excuse these companies doing bad things.
The Italian government can't do much when a Chinese factory pours chemical waste into the ocean. They can stop Uber Eats from screwing over Italian delivery drivers.
No, but losing money on every transaction (or the majority of them) certainly is. In that sense, food delivery apps smell a lot like Moviepass. Customer love was not enough to save Moviepass, though it certainly didn't help that the actions they took to turn it around burned through all that goodwill in very short order.
>if you're from IT — well, it would be like learning the alphabet once again. Probably you won't find anything new; if you do, that is a bad sign for your employer.
But after seeing a few other positive comments about it I decided to go back and give it a read, and I'm so glad I did. Great article.
So an office full of people with VR headsets on? I don't see the incentive in that compared to doing it from home.
