> It's sort of the difference between theatre and motion pictures. Theatre plays are great, but they are limited by what can be physically done on stage with real world objects and flesh and blood actors. Motion pictures with CGI has no such limitations. By the same token, the experience of going to the theatre, seeing the actors live in person, being impressed by someone belting out a song (if it's a musical) for the umpteenth time that week and it still sounding amazing, feeling like a part of the action thanks to things like audience participation — things that you can't always get in CGI. Every time I watch a play, I always come away with a bizarre sense in my gut that I associate with disappointment that the experience is over; I don't feel the same thing with movies. Same thing with AR and VR. Yes, you might be able to do many more impressive things immersed in VR space — but there's a certain quality associated with the real world, what's directly in front of your eyes rather than a picture, that cannot and should not be ignored. There's nothing like a live performance and there's nothing like the real world (not even a simulation of it).
