Connection
I talked last week about playing Walkabout Mini-Golf with Eli 20.6 via the Quest 2.
When we met to play today, he'd redone his avatar so that it looked quite a bit like him. Mine looks like me, too.
Eli said that when he saw me the previous time, seeing a strong likeness of my face gave him a little surge of emotion. I felt the same when I saw him today.
It doesn't seem like you could have a feeling like that in virtual reality, but you can.
If these headsets can get lighter and more powerful (and they will), it seems like it would be a way for people to stay close in a way they couldn't before.
