Where is VR now, where is it going in the next 5 years, and in the next 25? Are you using it? What for?

Actually I don’t think it is, not this Matrix scene at least. They were all jacked in and physically lying down in comfy chair/sofa things and this white room is a virtual workplace.


As for the rest, I believe I tried a casual random VR game in the local mall about 2.5y ago (think shortly after 2018’s beginning) and wasn’t impressed. I am aware technology moves ahead – I just don’t find the offering particularly appeasing currently. Even if things are improving the whole thing is too uncomfortable and downright creepy for me. If I can’t just look out the window and see some greenery and hear some water moving (river or sea) then I’ll absolutely get mega-depressed in a week…

(I see VR mostly as a medical app right now – f.ex. some people demonstrated that with a few VR sessions patients with agoraphobia can be cured.)
