I wonder if VR would provide the same effect with today's technology or of the upcoming future.

- lanewinfield 7y agoI thought the same as soon as I read the original comment—I've had minor but similar feeling in VR. Try "Irrational Exuberance."
- meruru 7y agoNever tried VR, but my initial reaction went like this: how is viewing Earth from space different than just looking at a video? -> the viewport is larger -> just use VR.
- ngokevin 7y agoYou'll get the sense of scale in VR, but I don't think you can get the realization that below you would be billions of people walking and bustling around you cannot even sense. The feeling of being so zoomed out and everything feeling so small. In VR, a pixel would be only a pixel rendered from a fixed texture map and nothing more. Might not have the same effect.
- amacbride 7y agoPlus, of course, you’d be in microgravity. I’m sure that adds quite a kick to the visuals (which wouldn’t be present in VR.)
- mkagenius 7y agoPretty sure, even a normal video gives me the feels.
- mhh__ 7y agoOr LSD like the good old days
