The Concept of Widespread Full Dive Virtual Reality
If you don't know what I mean by fully immersive virtual reality, think like The Matrix or the anime Sword Art Online but widespread like in the movie/book Ready Player One.This is a topic that has interested me for some time and I have discussed it with quite a few people. My overall thoughts are that with some regulation and moderation, such a technology could be massively and invaluably beneficial for the population of the world as a whole.
I had some simple ideas about how it would work. Things like limiting the playtime to a partial portion of the week, motion-detecting webcams required watching your motionless body, no children logging in at all or at least without parental consent, no forms of virtual intimacy allowed or at the very least severely restricted, and preventing the possibility for people to be forcibly logged in would all be ideas that I thought would make sense. What do you think?
The idea of having a fully immersive alternate planet for people to live on with countries and all sounds like a lot of fun. Like an entire planet based off of a fictional universe like Ace Combat's Strangereal world or the planet the Avatar: The Legend of Korra series takes place in. It'd be nice to log into your virtual vacation home on a fictional but fully immersive world. There would be a completely virtual economy and people could be employed and make money from home. The medical applications would be invaluable too. Those who are paralyzed and multiple amputees would be able to do things that they would otherwise be unable to do. Homes for the elderly could be essentially paradise for those involved. The implications of being able to connect our brains to a digital nervous system is massive. For those that have massive disabilities like being deaf or blind, we could map those portions of their brain to a man-made object like hearing aides or some sort of glasses.
Things that may happen would be travel industries being devastated, any and all entertainment industries being also devastated. Disney re-releasing all their movie in a fully immersive way. Now you can smell Elsa! Witness Mufasa's death first-hand! Try not to get aroused when inside of the Tinkerbell movies! Joking aside, it'd be a fun time. Combat-based games using firearms would be immensely entertaining. Gun culture in reality would change because people would realize how necessary guns are in dangerous situations. People would also like guns. What do you think?
EDIT: In case you all didn't understand. The entire concept is that of your physical body is immobile while you're brain is connected to a virtual nervous system that you use and experience in the VR world with other people. These are not VR goggles or a bodysuit.

1 RespuestaSo it's a VR port of Second Life. Sounds like a bum concept to me tbh. If real life isn't interesting enough for you, change it; don't escape it. The whole point of videogames are they they allow you to do things you can't do in real life, but if all you're doing is what you could be doing anyway just with a different body or on a strange planet, you enjoying that seems to me to be one immersive step too far. I can imagine plenty of disabled people logging out and becoming terribly depressed at not having that total immersive freedom that they had in the game, for example. Perhaps they'll start resenting their real bodies or trying to live their entire lives through the game. When they should be trying to deal with their problems and the society that feeds their problems. I can see that happening with a lot of the population too, not just disabled people. Plenty of people already use videogames and the internet as an unhealthy escape from their real-world problems, how would this help the situation? Simply regulating it won't stop people from finding ways around not being able to do what they want. Look at the amount of people who hack games to get advantages or mod games to add things the developers didn't intend. Plenty of these issues already happen with videogames and the internet, but there is still a line drawn between those things and 'reality.' What benefit is there to that distinction effectively being erased?

1 RespuestaSeems pretty boring with all the restrictions I would wait until a new version came in and then invest [spoiler]twirls stache [/spoiler]

2 RespuestasSo it’s just the ONI headset from Ready Player 2? We saw how well this kind of technology worked in the Ready Player 1 and 2 books. Granted the whole concept of having everything be possible would be amazing. Being able to live in go to any world that you want. While it would be cool, this type of tech would destroy the human race as we know it. As Ernest so clearly mentioned in his book, the OASIS is just an escape from reality. When more and more people ultimately start using this immersive tech, chances are the world is gonna start to fall apart. And when the world starts going crap, people would just try to escape it and turn to the immersion tech. Another downside is also explained in the books. This would be currency. Throughout the books, you never actually see anyone pay with real cash. This would make game developers be able to charge more and more credits for “Premium stuff.” People being people would blow their credits and end up in poverty once they realize they spent all of their money in a fake world. To sum it up: yes, it would be cool. Yes, I would love to “live” in any world I choose. But the cons out way the pros in this situation.

1 RespuestaOH THAT MAKES A SHIT TON MORE SENSE

1 RespuestaWell in theory it should be possible, it is not that far fetched from reality. Problem is the amount of proccesing power neccesary is not available yet and the way it would communicate with your brain, so yeah probably not in our time....but some day in the far future maybe.

I'd wait for the crack and risk getting stuck over playing a half neutered "politically correct" version. Edit: If I'd read down the comment chain I wouldn't have posted this as a standalone comment. It's already sort of getting hashed out.

12 RespuestasI can imagine this type of technology being extremely valuable for businesses to train employees for various situations. In the military, perhaps combat simulations. But imagine how crazy games like Titanfall and ghostrunner would be with this tech?

6 RespuestasMan this threads -blam!-ing weird.

9 RespuestasSeems like a bad idea

1 Respuesta[spoiler]That’s just VR chat but with extra steps[/spoiler]yeah I’d be down to play a game like SAO/GGO

What do you think?[/quote] With the exception of preventing people from being forcibly logged in and kids needing parental consent, sounds like "virtual reality with Chinese characteristics". Why not allow people to do/play how and how much they want? Why ban intimacy but allow extremely realistic violence?
