Might be possible with big gel tanks that people get submerged in, so the gel would be somehow hardened or softened with precise and weak electric currents, emulating textures.

But imo, it's more likely that it'll happen through some brain interface and the whole experience will basically be a very lucid dream.

Lots of time until that though, unless we destroy ourselves first. At least I doubt it'll happen during my lifetime.

It seems more likely to happen through a brain interface, but also I'm increasingly skeptical that will ever be possible. Optimistic estimates for a full brain interface are a century plus, just by judging at the number of direct neuron measures we currently have and applying a (optimistic) Moore's law style exponential curve: https://waitbutwhy.com/2017/04/neuralink.html

Vr is real fun but it's fundamentally just another display technology. It's less "ready player one" and more "what 3d TVs promised and failed to be".

True that. I just can't wait until there are full headsets that are as small as glasses with wireless data transmission to my PC. There are at least a few companies that are coming closer every year, like Meta. Not a big fan of Meta though.

They're probably never going to be as small as glasses just due to hard physical limits in optics.

Maybe. I like to think that it's just a matter of time though.
