Lightfields, orphanogenesis and simulating exact universes with Frooxius

Hello and welcome to Enter VR! Join Frooxius and I as we explore complex subjects that are too difficult for me to understand! Frooxius is a genius level over 9,000, he's the creator of Sightline, Neos the Universe, World of Comenius and many more! In this conversation we talked a lot about light fields, the origins of Frooxius and trying to create life out of in-organic matter. Here is a snippet of all the things we talked about: 45: Using nostalgia to sell VR to you. 1:20: Intro 2:30 Working with eVRday VR on lightfields in VR. 3:20 What's it like to work with Dee. 4:30 Frooxius thoughts on education in general. Read "Free to learn" by Peter Grey. 10:00 Creating simulations of Quantum effects in VR. 11:30 Using Lightfields in education. 14:30 How to capture Lightfields inside of game engines. 16:50 Why and how Lightfields are relevant to the average person. 21:30 The finish line in the race to cross the uncanny valley has already been crossed. 22:30 Creating Lightfield images that take up 48 gigs in your hard drive. 25:30 The end goal of Frooxius's light field work. 28:30 Are Lightfields the future of 3D rendering? 32:30 The origins of Frooxius. 36:30 Creating games with Powerpoint when he was 12 years old. 37:30 Growing up without internet. 40:00 The video games that influenced Frooxius the most. 42:30 Portal 2 has a great procedural soundtrack. 46:30 The most difficult fields of science to understand for Frooxius. 49:30 The science fair that changed Frooxius's life. 52:30 Discovering VR. Creating the first SightLine. 53:30 Trying the DK1 for the first time. 56:00 Beating Half Life 2 in VR. 57:30 Was Frooxius aware of how big VR could become? 58:30 Frooxius's secret to making fuck tons of VR games and demos. 59:50 Neos is using evolutionary algorythms to create a living metaverse. 1:04:30 Will we ever see AI that makes better pop music than us? 1:08:30 The most compelling theory of consciousness according to Frooxius. 1:14:30 Do you need self awareness to have consciousness? 1:16:30 Can simulations become self aware? 1:18:30 Using VR as a tool to explore consciousness. 1:20:30 Can inorganic matter develop consciousness? 1:24:30 Discussing the Michael Abrash's talk at Oculus Connect 2. 1:28:30 Using neural input to discover the edge of the simulation we live in. 1:30:30 We don't have the technology to simulate an exact replica of our current universe. 1:35:30 Frooxius prediction for when we will simulate reality. 1:38:30 Starting the church of the simulation. 1:39:30 Read the "Universe from nothing" by Lawrence Kraus. 1:41:30 Being in a multiverse is mathematically simpler. 1:45:30 Frooxius's plan for the future. 1:47:30 Procedural tree making is bad ass. 1:52:30 Neos the origin will show off the world building features of Neos the Universe. 1:53:30 Neos the origin demo on its way. 1:54:30 How to stay in touch and get more info on Frooxius's 1:56:30 Read Diaspora from Greg Egan. Orphanogenesis 2:00:00 Closing thoughts. What is Dark matter? How parallel universes can be possible.
