I thought VR/AR would be farther along. There was a pitch 10 years ago that VR would be the “final platform” in that anything a phone, TV, tablet, or computer could do could be easily emulated in VR.
Unfortunately it’s still all walled gardens. Also nobody wants to wear that shit for more than an hour.
Yeah, you coukd extend the social media reality bubbles ppl are living in to actual perceived reality. You coukd also block out homeless people and this hyper individuallism that it wouod enable would stop those kinds of problems from having any hope of being solved.

More specifically I thought one of the approaches to an omni-treadmill would catch on enough for an at-home model to be available to the public.
Brain implants are progressing, so I’m still hopeful to see full-dive VR in my lifetime. Also scared of how it will be enshtitfied.
Yeah… as amazing as full dive VR would be, I’d be afraid that weaponized would be a better term for how it would be implemented than enshitified.
