VR's Future: Light Headsets, Infinite Realities, Holodeck

VR is dead. Except it has 1,000 lives. You may not call what happens next year VR. But to me VR=infinite realities. Includes reality itself. A metaverse? Small thinking. The glasses will be able to change reality itself. Or your perception there in. Remember I wore my Apple Vision Pro on my first @Waymo ride. Real reality wasn’t available. But the reality I saw inside sure looked convincing to me. It is just too heavy. When it gets light I will tell everyone to buy one. Why do I still believe? Because VR is magic. Just not magic enough to get over a heavy headset. But lighter ones are coming. And world models will cut the cost for creating for it greatly. Content is the magic. Soon you will be inside movies. Wanna be an actor? You will be anyway whether or not you want it. Which is a little dystopian. Neal: we have to talk. What will we call it if we don’t call it VR anymore? The Holodeck.
