VR is not immersive. The people in the movie (or book) are IN THE WORLD. They teeter over ledges, and jump over things. They touch things. They move around. They fiddle with small objects.
Our VR isn’t anything like that. If your foot is half off a ledge you are not off balance. You don’t jump, not really. When you do it tends to feel gross. You don’t touch things. Objects feel very fake up close. Most stuff is basically immutable. And it has to be because the game engines aren’t capable of more. It’s all clearly fake.
