While I appreciate the high fidelity and realism of the outside world, I suspect VR is the next step in our gaming experience. Or at least, the next step in finding ways to break our wrist because we bashed it against a table we forgot to move out of the way. I do, however, dread the oncoming era of VR headset prints permanently represented on people's faces who spend too long in there. So I guess the real outdoors does have that one advantage.
