Sure. It's the same situation of a solution in search of a problem as video in phone calls before that capability existed. "In the future, we'll be able to see people instead of just talk to them on the phone!"
It turns out that that's not always/often so desirable.
- muglug 4y agoYeah that's a really great comparison! Video calls are great for transatlantic calls with family and friends I haven't seen in ages, and a good VR version of that might be even better, but I likely wouldn't use it more than a few times a month.
- gausswho 4y agoFor me video calls add negative value even in this situation. I have a hard time accommodating the compromise in fidelity and latency and resent the miracle. I'd rather use textual mediums and wait (even a long time) to get the full experience in person. Current technology for videoconferencing reduces my relationship with people rather than grows it. Pretty sure I'm a minority here.
