NYU's virtual reality grad celebration was creepy and barren — I walked around in an angry-looking avatar and almost no one showed up (by theo_wayt)
Theo Wayt is a reporter who's written for the Associated Press, NBC News, The New York Post, Vice, and Gothamist; he also recently graduated from New York University.
2020 graduates could design avatars and interact with each other in blocky version of New York City hotspots, but very few people showed up. I was then dropped into an empty Washington Square Park. I flew my avatar around, listening to the game's soundtrack: ambient city traffic sounds and a melancholy harp.After a few minutes, another member of the class of 2020 joined my server. Their display name was "zhanggggggggg," and they had chosen the same purple-robed avatar as me. I decided to chat them up. "same here. i thought there would be more people lol," they replied.
