Cline definitely imagineered a word that can become real using today’s mechanics with tomorrow’s technique hopefully without the semi-dystopian future;).

Cool how I ended up at your great blog, via Brad Feld’s email improve post. Good info, loving it!

VR is fascinating to think about in respect to how it will affect humankind.

What new customs and culture will emerge from it? Will it replace most traveling — and then will level designers gain higher social status, on par with the great architects? How can it revolutionize education?

Movement in VR is an interesting problem; I think an intention-based OS using a consumer-level EEG machine, like the Emotiv would be a practical solution. As opposed to setting up a 360 degree treadmill or human-sized trackball inside the user’s home.

yes RPO is a good book. As a VR connoisseur, I can also say the VR is a little light and not very credible at time but as a whole you are right there are great questions emanating out of this book and you seem to understand well why most of us joined this industry!
