@codinghorror in that case, can you say it about full-on brain-interface VR? What problem does that solve?
But what VR is for, or really XR in general, is to allow us to interface spatially with spatial data. It's a UI, nothing more or less. And because we live in a 3D world, that's a useful thing. It's not there to replace reality and if you expect it to, yes, you'll struggle.
