It's just another way to record a time and place. No more different to a video than a video is to a photo. Just slightly more fidelity.

It's a good thing. It's a nice thing. Chill.

I get that there's reasons to be angry at big tech but this isn't one of them. Accurate and easy 3d scanning, high fidelity rendering and a way to view in 6dof stereoscopic is just a great use case entirely separate from the machinations of our evil overlords.

And how does a 3d rendered world that doesn't exist anywhere other than in a computer has more fidelity than real life ?

That's your opinion, the fact that VR tanked hard seems to indicate most people don't agree

If this continues the trend of technology discouraging in-person, physical connectedness then it's not an all-good, all-nice thing. It could actually be a very dangerous, very bad thing.
