VR will eventually reach the point where meeting someone in person will feel virtually the same as meeting someone in VR.
The problem VR solves is that there's a vast amount of resources currently being spent on transit (i.e. work & social commuting), housing (e.g. offices & hangout spaces), and ancillary products simply to meet face-to-face with other humans.
When VR reaches the tipping point where people really don't care if they're meeting IRL or via VR because it feels the same, all those resources can be saved or re-directed.

- ryan_lane 4y agoIf you're traveling to meet face to face with other humans, you're probably going to be spending quite a while doing it, and often with clients. Doing this in VR would be extremely exhausting, and how would you convince the client to even do it? I'd rather spend a day traveling to meet someone face to face for a few hours, than spend a few hours in VR.
