Conversely, who wants to look at flat boxes of people on a flat screen? Imo the best use case for VR isn’t in replacing reality. Its best use case is to mimic reality for people who are remote. VR meetings are way better than zoom or teams video meetings. I can also tell you that VR ping pong or VR mini golf are both way better than just having a FaceTime call. People who refuse to even try modern VR aren’t going to come to this realization.

VR ping pong (Elevens) and VR mini golf (Walkabout Mini Golf) are awesome. Feels pretty damn close to the real thing, close enough I think skills gained there would translate to the physical game. And you don't need good weather, have to travel, or have to wait for other players to play the mini golf. Also being a video game allows Walkabout to do some courses that just wouldn't be feasible (not physically possible or too expensive to build) in real life, like the Myst puzzle one, or that one hole that's based on M.C. Escher's Relativity that alters gravity depending on where your ball is at. Still need to play them multiplayer, but I want to. I watched a game played in VR which was basically an interview with the creator of Myst and that was a lot of fun[1]. I think this is what you're referring to, meetings being more fun over a game of mini-golf than just a Zoom call. [1]: https://youtu.be/LhScgbtUos4 https://youtu.be/LhScgbtUos4
