I love old-school representations of VR. Three decades ago, we had no idea what we'd be using VR for. We didn't even know what the user interface would look like. 🤣 So you get masterpieces like this clip from a movie I've never even heard of called Johnny Mnemonic. This is what they thought browsing the web would look like in 2021. Hilarious. Maybe we should bring back little electrical shocks if you give a miss-input. 😂
A favorite movie from the past! Keanu has been involved in a number of “future forward” movies, and is likely been around some of the best futuristic thinking of anyone. I also remember ‘Chain Reaction’ as a very cool energy future movie, which included the concept of political power derived from energy. Has a parallel to the future of distributed or centralized control of our VR future.
I love that he's wearing a VR rig with hand tracking and haptic feedback - to look up FAX charges. I'm old, so I've seen this movie about 4 times, but honestly it got it closer than Lawnmower Man.
Hilariously JM would have an entirely different vibe if it was made in what now exists as the modern consumer VR meme culture, and I don't even think Gibson would object.
I love watching future tech movies. We always think we will be further ahead than we are but in reality tech is still moving at breakneck speed
Well, they got one thing right - floating hands with no virtual body
Is it Jonny neumonic 😃 classic film
I really want my browsing to look like this, I mean, how boring is browsing right now
Following my master thesis in architecture on creating a spatial grammar for a 3D web inspired by Synaesthesia, I created immersive VR experiences in 1995, the year this movie came out. Minority Report came out a few years later and invoked a similar approach to interfacing with computers using hand tracking. Imagine holding up both your hands in the air all day and moving them around for any desk job. It would be quite a workout! While a lot of people could probably need this I think we need less strenuous ways to navigate data. Still love virtual worlds and VR though. ❤️
A lot of these old movies were inspired by sci-fi literature classics like neuromancer (typing in the digits to navigate) or snowcrash (spatial interactions with floating objects like unwrapping a map)
