> Most people are not nerds like us and prefer to interact with people in person.
People are also glued to phones. Children are making TikTok videos. My point is that people do interact online. The issue with VR is fidelity. It just doesn’t live up to what people imagined yet. Compare what we have to TV series like “Upload” from Amazon.
There is also a problem that is exemplified by VR chess or VR poker.
Anyone who wants to play chess or poker online most likely already has without VR. Sitting across a virtual table with a virtual person with an annoying headset on to play chess or poker online is practically a downgrade from what we have now. It is a one off parlor trick.
VR Poker is a HUGE upgrade from online poker on the web or an app because a poker game is a social experience that benefits from the sense of presence you can get with VR. Chess, not so much.
