The human need for more realistic interaction

Ah yes. The realistic interaction provided by strapping a device on your face to watch people make bored movements in an unnecessary meeting.

Who are you convincing here?

if you could make a device that could present a fake reality that could be be indistinguishable from reality

wouldnt people and corporations be interested in it? what if you want to have a face to face conversation with your wife about something important but you are in a military base or you missed your flight? what if your therapist broke his leg and can still give the reassurance of face to face meetings from her own home? what if two businessmen could meet with this device and discuss whatever business plans they have in the setting of a virtual restaurant since one lives in china and the other in saudi arabia?

or instead of travelling on a 12 hour flight you just pop on your headset and when you're done you can go back to your family?
