Unless we move toward a society where everyone is wearing a VR headset 24/7, I don’t think we need to worry about most of the issues mentioned in the article… Still worth a read, but a bit exaggerated

The article talked about that directly, no? People wearing headsets all day at work and then having to head home in a weird “my legs still think I’m on a boat” state. I’m curious how long-term use impacts driving considering it can affect depth perception and the like

I’m more referring to the idea of erasing images of homeless people or pride flags, which the article does mention. I know it’s intended as food for thought, and I see the angle, but who is taking a stroll downtown with a headset on?

When the technology has shrunk enough to be comfortable for extended periods of time and the displays + cameras are good enough to prevent distortion and other weird effects, probably some people (that have disposable income)! It’s still early expensive tech so adoption isn’t going to be widespread
