Yea. I'm reading Ready Player One right now and it's beginning to scare me a little if this world goes the way it does in the book: everyone on VR devices existing in a giant MMO world.
I somehow think that the dramatic effect VR has on the brain will limit its appeal, ironically. I mean, scary games will be too scary. Plus lots of people get sick on VR. Playing violent games would be too intense in VR. We'd have PTSD cases after such experiences. I think flying a plane in VR might be cool though. I don't know. . . I haven't tried one yet myself, but I've listened to how others who have talk about it and it seems very intense. Maybe too intense outside of safe SIM-like experiences.
