- NateEag 6y agoFor us aphantasiacs, VR is the closest we'll ever come to daydreaming. (I'm not invested in it myself, just making the point.)
- Pfhreak 6y agoVR can trigger reflexive behaviors in people, e.g. trying to avoid an incoming projectile, putting their hands up to protect their face, stepping back from a high place. Many folks can get deep suspension of disbelief from just text. Many folks can't. I don't think it's reasonable to say, "Well, I do just fine with X, so that should be good enough for anyone.", as your comment seems to be implying.
- mthoms 6y ago"Suspension of disbelief" is a spectrum not a binary. That is, there are varying degrees of it. It's not simply on/off.
