Reply to comment by Sashinii in To all you well-read and informed futurologists here: what is the future of gaming? by Verificus

Full dive virtual reality in 2029? Haha this is next level hyper optimism even for this subreddit, Holy shit

Google this: 'how many senses do we have?' Now you have to somehow put all of those senses into game.

We are nowhere close to achieve fdvr in 2020s, don't lie to yourself.

I know there are a lot more senses than just touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing.

Never dismiss exponential growth; progress (which is accelerating) happens faster than we think and I consider that fact when I make time frame predictions.

yeah but sight and hearing are well covered. touch is almost to the point of being commercial. smell, in a rudimentary style, is already possible. taste may never come. i hope it doesn't. we don't need to mimic ALL senses do we? ffs.

Virtual taste will definitely happen.

Our senses in virtual worlds will be identical to our senses in this world.

Why do you not want virtual taste to be developed?

like right now are you experiencing a taste? unless you are passing air through your mouth right now, your taste really isnt activated 24/7

Yes, it is. You're just not focused on it.

Open your mouth and breath over your tongue. What does the air taste like?

If water doesn't have a particular taste, does it mean you're not using your "taste" function when you drink it?

When your eyes are closed, do you not see? I do see, it's very black, but with focus I can see tiny patterns in the blackness.

Not focusing on sensation doesn't mean it's not there.

Okay. Let us rephrase then. The deciding factor is when ASI arrives - capable of achieving feats us humans have little to no chance at achieving; FDVR being one of them. Hence, I predict FDVR arrives 2-3 months after ASI does.

I would say late 2030's. But thats going to because of replaceing parts of the brain and the entire thing.

delusional. The WEF tells you to your face but your too fucking stupid to know what exponential growth is.
