And imagine how good the average video call would be if you gave everyone the budget a good VR experience would cost to get a good webcam and headset, or just hand a kit to every new employee.
Then there's the whole issue of mixed meetings that they barely seem to touch on yet. How would five people, together in an office meet with three who work from home? Augmented reality? what if one of them left their headset at home? or if it's empty or broken? is the system smart enough to mute those in physical proximity of each other yet? or would they need noise cancelling earbuds to talk through the app?

the ease, speed, and accuracy of it. It's now possible to, within minutes of a live video being broadcasted. Use deep fake and AI voice generation to modify a video of a world leader. It doesn't have be something where the entire video is faked or edited, but say. edit a world leader saying "we will support Ukraine" to "we will no longer support Ukraine". Set it on blast, or in more repressive regimes run it as if that's the live view and you're going to have a way more difficult task of disproving this than an article that says "this world leader said this thing"
The more realistic, multi-faceted and abundant fakes are. the higher the chances are that people no longer trust the real thing.
