I have two feelings about this: 1) It reminds me of the quote: “Finishing a good book is like leaving a good friend.” ― William Feather 2) What is the author doing in actual reality that makes it so pale compared to VR? It's interesting that the first example brought up is about interacting with a phone. For god's sake man! Play a sport, have sex, go for a walk and smell the leaves, go for a swim in the ocean. Sweat, strain, climb and explore. Be an _animal_ because that's what we are! Go and get barrelled on a wave in the ocean and then come back and tell me that VR is better. :-)

> 2) What is the author doing in actual reality that makes it so pale compared to VR? I don't think it's that straight forward. I have a pretty fine damn time irl http://www.pauric.net/blog/?p=22 http://www.pauric.net/blog/?p=22 I've played a few of the leading titles on PSVR but then hit upon this simple puzzle game that has burrowed into my mind. I can't wait to get back to it, I lose hours to this game https://youtu.be/YoxJFkFzu98?t=1h56m49s https://youtu.be/YoxJFkFzu98?t=1h56m49s It scratches an itch that is hard to find in the real world (I do enjoy packing our cases up for vacation though). I think it's something about the immersion, pulling on your focus so hard that you loose yourself, like a good book. VR is all the things you compare it to (wrt pulling focus) except it's on tap.
