But that headline will not be interesting at all to be news worthy...

Great work to publish your work into public domain. I saw a couple more people in the thread trying to do the same thing.
Just curious: is there a reason to create your own site for this? Instead of listing on things like Sketchfab?
They seem to support public domain for a long time already: https://sketchfab.com/blogs/community/sketchfab-launches-pub...

"Okay, I'm focused on getting X, but let's not forget to read the headlines." -> this is probably the hardest part of "being lucky".

Because it's a tough sell to put a camera right in front of people's TV. IIRC, the only product managed to do this is Portal TV from Facebook...
I actually tried something like this and talked to lots of potential users about this (during 2020 pandemic). But the willingness to pay for the camera is quite low.

+1, System76's build quality is terrible. My company spent lots of $$$ on system76 workstations, only found that GPU card falls off during shipping due to the terrible design they have...

This is definitely an interesting test and the motivation is totally valid.
But I'm wondering whether I can pass if I don't speak up at all? Or just passively play along?

Unpopular opinion: Mozilla has some unique advantage to win the 3D Web.
1/ Hubs and spoke (https://hubs.mozilla.com/spoke) are trying to solve the problem of how to composite and deliver 3D assets over web protocol.
1.1/ Unlike jpegs that can be passively embedded into web pages, 3D assets requires active interactions with other objects.
1.2/ Traditionally, we need a 3D game engine to pack all the assets into one big binary, then build and ship the binary over cartridge, DVD, or recently Steam.
1.3/ Spoke + Hubs is the new web-based 3D engine, which can potentially revolutionize how we create and access 3D content.
2/ Being a popular, open source, and independent browser company gives Mozilla the position of leading the effort to standardize the convention of the 3D Web.
3/ This is low level tech and worth investing in. Also Mozilla makes decent money (> $500M each year) and this is something they can comfortably afford.
4/ Virtual meeting space is just one use case. Admittedly Hubs' implementation is less than super well polished, but I don't know whether they want to be the 3D Zoom in the long run. But I will say it's pretty neat if we treat it like a tech demo for their Web-based 3D engine.

In my personal uses, It's actually not too bad once put on a case.

1/ There is definitely potential there. Spatial audio, shared white board, avatar in HD, etc.
2/ The biggest obstacle for now is still comfort. VR is now comfortable enough for 30-min sessions for lots of people, but still not for everyone. For those who complains about Zoom fatigue, VR as of today is just 10X more painful. We need better hardware. There are obviously lots of room to improve.
3/ Horizon Workrooms is not the first and spatial.io already moving towards that direction. After some 30-mins trial, I feel Horizon is more polished and feels better than spatial.io already.

My two cents: metaverse towards gaming is like TikTok towards videos (esp. short form videos). It's all about user generated content.
Video -> Gaming
Blockbuster movie/TV show -> AAA Games
Youtube -> Indie Games
TikTok -> Metaverse
The idea is that anyone can create their own game (mini-game) easily, just like anyone can create a 10 seconds video easily. Instead of bet tens of millions into blockbuster movies or AAA games, it makes some sense to look at "short form" video or gaming. With enough users and creators, and more importantly a good recommendation system, it doesn't require too much imagination dream something big. Given that both gaming and digital video content are 100B+/yearly market, it is fair to guess that one of the next big things like TikTok is indeed something in that user-generated gaming content market.

One way to think about AR is that it can do everything your Oculus Quest can do, but in the form of a pair of glasses that you can wear all day (like those prescription glasses that people already wearing).
VR is like the PC you use at home / in office, AR is more like smartphones on the go. There is obviously quite a big technical gap :)
Yet still, this post is now ranked top 1 on HN.
