> at the end of the day it's just a toy. I'd say VR headsets are as much of a toy as Otto Lilienthal's hang gliders. As such, sure, they won't do much more than cool games. But the future is obvious: they're a first step into the Matrix, and from there to fully fledged Mind Uploading. (It may not help us develop the necessary technology —though it may help us figure out crucial neurological facts. But it will give us a glimpse of what is to come.) Not to mention, VR will probably help us get to AR, which will surely have an even bigger impact. At this point, we're not looking at a toy any more, but at a Prophecy.
