Pictures? We are on the edge of believable videos with AI produced voices and sounds - made on normal computers. Need to clear a few more hurdles in 3D AI modeling, VR, and haptic feedback before this trend reaches it's obvious conclusion.

Wonder what crime it would be called if you create a haptic VR double of someone unconsensually and don't distribute it?

Haptics are never going to be like in Ready Player One. It's crazy to me that anyone believes the tech will be capable of that. Like how diminished is one's sense of touch that one could believe it could be fooled by fancy rumble packs? Touch is so much more complex than that. Piezoelectric motors vibrating are not going to be able to be able to fake solidity. Nuts to me people think that.

Have you ever used a macbook trackpad? The click is just a fancy rumble pack. We can use electricity to make glass opaque. If the only thing stopping a person from living in a VR pod is haptic feedback, it'll be solved in a fortnight.

Then why hasn't it been solved? It's been nearly a decade since the oculus sdk came out.

And if you think the max track pad haptics are indistinguishable from a real button click, you're... Not very perceptive imo. Don't mean that as an attack. Just open your mind to the idea that other people can def tell the difference.
