One of the difficult issues we wrestle with at our lab is the line between VR and not VR. If people are co-located, as they generally are in our work, is that still VR? Or is it actually an extreme version of mixed reality (MR)?
I don’t think it’s a very interesting question, as an intrinsic analysis of what we are doing. But in terms of how we capture people’s imagination, getting the terminology right could be very important.
If you want to change the world for the better, people need to understand what you are actually doing. It can be hard to get people on board if they think you are doing something else.
