Would I enjoy a virtual reality world?

A Maldivian friend thinks virtual reality is the next step in human "development". He actually used the dangerous word "evolution". He is of the opinion that it might even replace sex – or make it better, whatever that is!

So today I was surfing the internet to discover what the latest VR products are and came across this article on The Economist titled: Apple’s Vision Pro is a technical marvel. Will anyone buy it?

Here's an excerpt: Tech types have long speculated that it will eventually be possible to have a pair of AR glasses as thin and unobtrusive as a pair of sun shades, at which point headsets will stop being clunky things for nerds and start becoming something that normal people might wear all day. Such devices might even replace the smartphone as the next big tech platform. “I don’t think there’s a doubt in anyone’s mind that AR is the future,” says Jitesh Ubrani of IDC, another data company. Apple’s presentation characterized the Vision Pro as “the start of an entirely new platform”.
