Some already stopped rewarding such behavior. It's the precise reason why I chose Vive over Oculus.

The author isn't talking about content of the matrix here, rather they mean only level names: 2^n, n^2, n, log(n). Sufficient knowledge of alogirthms would make a person understand the relevance of those names (the big O notation).

In case of bicycles, isn't the danger coming mainly from the fact that they are often used on roads alongside cars?

I'd phrase it differently: If we would scale down to only productive essential jobs, most people would be siting at home doing whatever they like. So no, I am not happy that people do bullshit jobs just for the sake of having a job at

Definitely. I remember at the beginning Climbey would cause minor confusion if I'd unexpectedly fall, now it doesn't faze me at all. The downside is that I think I used to be more "immersed" at the beginning. Now while I

Fortunately it is not as grim as you describe. People have different levels of resistance to motion sickness. Even with titles that offer significant disconnect between physical and virtual motion (e.g Climbey), an hour is something that fo

That's a bad example, because drugs typically have all kinds of warnings about negative effects. They certainly test on more than 3 patients, and they won't tell you the drug is a beta, but I'm sure they will still claim they

I use VR a few times a week. Definitely far less than total time spent on gaming. However, I would still say we "are there" with VR, because I do not consider it to be simply a replacement for gaming. For me VR is mainly a replace
