"I actually don't have clue what any of that means. "
Ready Player One is a fictional book set in a dystopian future, centred around an artificial, digital world.
Metaverse was recently touted by Zuckerberg as facebook's planned virtual world. And it all looks so cringeworthy and creepy to me all at once. |

"No. VR will never be that realistic.

They will have to manipulate our nervous system so we can touch, taste and smell."

You'd be surprised the effect of even bog standard VR in this era. I tried it and I could have sworn I felt things that weren't even there. And things will get way more advanced. |

"No. VR will never be that realistic. "
People used to say computer graphics would never be realistic.
Now they can be used in films in ways that you never even notice they have been.
By the time my kids are my age, it could be that realistic.
It's the method of interaction that will always let it down. |

I just looked it up and yeah i had ready Player one. I would never of read it normally as not my kind of book. I do know i read it once then had to go back to bits but enjoyed it kinda. Im trying to think what brought me to that book. I think it may of been after I read Matthew Rielys The Tournament. |

Various philosophers, physicists et al have argued we may well all be living in a simulation. |

Side note if anyone knows of any other cool dystopian fiction please let me know I’m here for it. I loved 1984 and Oui and Fahrenheit and Brave New World. So more the merrier.

Except the graphics in films are not real time and require lots of computing power. It will take a while before they will be able to create 'photo realistic' at the speed required |

Agreed it will take time, but I do not believe it will be 'never'.
ToyStory level graphics used to take up to 30 hours per frame to render. Within 20 years they were able to be surpassed in real-time. |

Having watched some of the keynote video that Zuckerberg posted, it certainly seems like he wants Meta to emulate the Oasis. Some of the ideas for how it might function once properly launched look interesting, especially the group meeting ideas. |

A virtual world to escape to? A bit like opium dens of the past, letting you hallucinate another world in your sleep. Humans have always tried to escape. You have to come back and pay your bills at some point. All sounds like bollocks to me.  |

Toy story isn't exactly photo realistic though.
I do agree it will happen eventually when the computing power becomes readily available. |
