I was into VRML in the late 90s and have been in love with VR since the Lawnmower Man.
The kicker for me was the VR conference last year at the start of the pandemic that while anyone could attend in VR, only 25% did. Most thought attending on zoom was just easier. If it is not worth using VR for a VR conference then it seems pretty hopeless.
Maybe "virtual reality" has always been a mistake as a name as it is always going to under deliver.
I should be helping to build the Metaverse but I just don't believe in the concept anymore. At least not headset VR and I don't think I will live long enough to see an alternative.

Virtual realities will necessarily be devoid of both the rich detail and meaningful adversity that comes with actual reality. However, enhancing reality to be more comfortable or entertaining to the mind tethered to it offers more avenues.
