VR has given me a new sense of imagination and creativity, similar to what some might experience with 3D printing.
Being able to perceive a digital space in three dimensions is a significantly different human-computer interface than a 2D screen. It feels like so much more is possible once you break into the extra dimension.
From the outside, VR definitely has a dystopian look to it. But from the inside, it can give a sense of "creativity unlocked" once you start thinking about how to build immersive experiences. This liberating mindset, in some ways, is the opposite of what it appears to be on the outside.
I guess for me the dystopian slant gets a bit steeper in the context of global warming and consumerism and the sort of head in the sand mentality that VR seems to project.
