If you don't know what I mean by fully immersive virtual reality, think like The Matrix or the anime Sword Art Online but widespread like in the movie/book Ready Player One.This is a topic that has interested me for some time and I have discussed it with quite a few people. My overall thoughts are that with some regulation and moderation, such a technology could be massively and invaluably beneficial for the population of the world as a whole.

I had some simple ideas about how it would work. Things like limiting the playtime to a partial portion of the week, motion-detecting webcams required watching your motionless body, no children logging in at all or at least without parental consent, no forms of virtual intimacy allowed or at the very least severely restricted, and preventing the possibility for people to be forcibly logged in would all be ideas that I thought would make sense. What do you think?

Edit: The idea of having a fully immersive alternate planet for people to live on with countries and all sounds like a lot of fun. Like an entire planet based off of a fictional universe like Ace Combat's Strangereal world or the planet the Avatar: The Legend of Korra series takes place in. It'd be nice to log into your virtual vacation home on a fictional but fully immersive world.

bro
what's the point of fully immersive VR if I can't breed a bunch of twink boipussy in it

Giving people access to life experiences and adventures to people that would be otherwise unable to have them. That and the virtual economy and jobs would help those limited in their employment opportunities massively.

Really?
I think inventions such as the internet, social media, phones, etc have all shown that people will always end up using technology in the shittiest unproductive ways

no clue how we’d regulate it, however I’m sure it will go like social media where it kept growing exponentially and we didn’t start to see the problems until people were talking about civil war and storming the capitol.

but yeah, porn will be the major driver of this industry

I don't think that would be a good idea. Not a good idea at all.

I was referring to the last part. I think it should be kept clean. Otherwise it'd just be gross.

Actually I think the more real porn gets, the less fulfillment people will get from it
People will find that they don't like the empty coomer satisfaction and look for better uses of their time

I don't think it would be healthy. I don't know though. I think people would still need to feel their bits under their clothes though. I don't know what kind of psychological impact it would have to log in for the first time and be missing your genitals. Still, no pleasure though.

You're talking like only one head would be plugged into VR

How so?

Just upload your mind into the virtual reality. You can have any body and feel whatever you want.

I don't trust the concept of uploading a consciousness.

I think the next step now is direct interface with the brain. So you pass all sensory information directly to the brain.

Elon Musk is already working on that.

So does our Steam lord https://www.theverge.com/2021/1/25/22248202/gabe-newell-valve-brain-computer-interface-bci-meat-peripherals

What approach are they taking? Elon Musk is going the route of an implant about the diameter of a coin.

Ah, small enough for my pp then.
Dunno about Valve's proposal, I think its all sci-fi at this stage anyway.

Rockets landing themselves was sci-fi until a few years ago.

Topic with a lot of broad angles to talk about. I could see it being beneficial for medical reasons, quite a bit actually. Anybody dealing with anxiety or needing therapy of some kind. I can also see it being abused or addictive however. If internet and social media is any indicator, there's your proof. And I can't even begin to fathom the long term diseases that'd crop up.

One of the newer ones cropping up from smartphones lately is coined as digital dimentia. That arises from just brain re-wiring from constant usage. If we're talking full sensory overrides for convincing VR so that users don't get uncanny valley feelings, then I'd imagine you'd open windows to creating something like cognitive disconnects from reality.

Like any tool we make, it has the capacity for something good, but we're too retarded as a species to properly utilize much before we end up goofing it. With some of the newer tech coming out these days, it'll probably be critical that clear rules and boundries are established, which I know probably won't happen.

It still must be done. It would be fun. All the anime for people who are into it.

It's not even really a question of must. Eventually somebody will get the idea and they'll have the resources to make it happen. Yeehaw to the wonders of a new marketable thing.
