Eric A: 3. What's next? Is virtual reality with 100% immersion the last best phase of media? What does 100% immersion mean, and is it even achievable? If so, what purpose would we have for reality, and how would we know whether we are in reality or living a so-called computer program? Matrix references welcome.
100% immersion in virtual reality is the ceiling of the best phase of media. In a world full of infinitives it is one of few ceilings. I am not sure it is achievalbe as far as 100% immersion is concerned. I do feel it will become a key sources of entertainment as today's video games let you create characters and allow you to live out their lives while other video games can mimic your movement. If 100% immersion is possible it would be like The Matrix. True reality would have no purpose and there would be no way of telling in which reality we were. But many philosophers believe perception is reality so in that thought process would lead to the argument that 100% immersion in virtual reality could be true realtiy.
