VR as HMD is narrow but VR as, say, neural lace is not? In addition to his four propositions to think about I would add one more. There's technology to represent other humans in VR (eye tracking, face tracking, body tracking) that basically doesn't exist yet as part of consumer VR systems. But with those technologies already present outside of consumer VR (and continued massive R&D spending by Oculus etc) they seem realistically achievable in the medium term. Will this make a significant difference in the VR adoption rate or enable new applications?
