The idea of an immersive, persistent, multi-user virtual reality is not exactly a new one and we've had several mature implementations over the years - VRChat, Second Life, in some sense most MMOs, etc.

Did they do some significant research/development in other problem areas that are less visible than the graphics? Or what was going on there?
