> In other words, the virtual reality market is fundamentally constrained by its very nature: because it is about the temporary exit from real life... I enjoy VR a lot, but I never put on the goggles. A friend explained it to me the other day in a way I finally understood. VR requires us to disconnect from everything around us in a way that few technologies do -- that is, the cost of VR on our social interactions and situational awareness is almost total, which is a much greater price than other technologies force us to pay. They went full immersion, and it was too far... There's a certain irony that a social network bought deeply anti-social hardware. And yes, before we start talking about MPORGs, I know that could be social in VR. But I'm talking about the social costs IRL, which are much less with a technology like AR.
