Now that I’ve started playing with the Gear VR, I’m beginning to accept that virtual reality does not need to follow any of the conventional rules of physical reality. Some of our most fundamental assumptions about the world can be suspended, including gravity, bilateral symmetry and even euclidean geometry.
We can enter worlds together that have nearly nothing to do with these bodies of ours, with their pairs of arms and legs, their torsos, their heads perched atop little bendable necks.
We can become anything we want, limited only by what our thoughts can conceive. As we take up this challenge, wandering ever further from the restrictive bounds of natural physiology, just where might the imagination of the human mind end up taking us?
