> Why do you think it would look anything like what we currently consider social networking? Why are people so painfully short-sighted? Even if it's the same as putting on a pair of sunglasses, it's still too much for me. If it's a matter of me just closing my eyes and experiencing what I want, then I agree with you. But I don't think that's even the same direction as the VR we are discussing. Edit: I misunderstood, I thought you were talking about improvements to VR hardware. However, seeing social networking and VR mesh together — even some hypothetical social networking of the future — seems an odd direction to me. VR is very inhuman in terms of the physical experience, social networking is very brief and notification oriented. I can't see the two a match. VR is great, I use it and love playing with it. I don't want it to be involved in my social experiences unless it's the following: inviting people around to try cool VR demos while watching what they are experiencing on a large screen, that is fun.
