There are only two things at play here: money and energy.
Money is believed to be finite, but in truth it's infinite.
Energy is believed to be infinite, but apparently it's finite.
Who could have guessed that coal, oil and gas are stored sunlight that landed on this planet millions of years back.
And then you have men that used money and energy to build this computer network and now we realize only 1% of that networks potential has been tapped because software has been bloated 100x since the C64 for zero benefit.
We know there is a 100x to be found but we don't really know how, where or when yet, but everyone is FOMOing around to see where the next liquidity hole will be. Better not miss it this time!
VR is one of those liquidity trap dead ends, because the more you look at energy and money the more you'll see that you cannot have 90+FPS on two eyes and still afford the electricity bill unless you are ok with Doom levels of details and more importantly only one player (ready player one?).
What I believe is the real immersion/presence enhancement is the merger of Everquest and 3D Mario/Zelda. 1000+ player action MMO with real-time physics, no rubberbanding, open-source, open interfaces and fair licensing.
Lower energy consumption, the right to make money and since hardware has provably peaked, probably for eternity; you can build something today that lasts potentially forever, it's truly the opportunity of eternity!
We cannot print energy, so if you are still working for the old system it's time to quit, everything is a scam except what you build from scratch on the internet.
Make sure you have your meatspace sorted before you jump though, meatspace is about to get a special kind of ugly!
Reduce your quality of meatspace life to gain your quality of metaspace life.
Delayed gratification is the meaning of life.
