The problem here is that your definition of VR is wrong...

The roots of VR stretch back to the 1959s and stem back to the desire for more immersive media. Not your personal fancy for Star Trek.


I bolded for you. Want to try again?


That's correct, VR has been around at least as a concept since the 1950's. The first VR HMD actually game out in 1961 and was called Headsight. The VR we see today is an evolution of that same principle, which predates the Holodeck by more than a decade. So what we are getting today is most certainly VR.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
