It can eventually help disabled people move, see, hear and talk.

For everyday people, this will replace phones and computers completely. We will be able to project a private screen on any surface, even mid air. We will be thinking the words instead of saying them during phonecalls.

Movies and games are going to be so immersive it's probably going to cause some serious societal issues. Larping is going to become big I'm guessing.

That's just the surface stuff that's easy to think of. It gets even nuttier if you think about recording and downloading dreams and memories, some of the really sci Fi stuff. The possibilities are literally endless. Obviously though, there's a way to go, it's still in its infancy.

I really enjoyed the 12 monkeys series as well. The movie is great.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not volunteering but eventually it will be safe.

Theres definitely barriers to overcome but to go with your analogy, I drive a car everyday on the highway even though a malfunction or even just an other user being stupid can easily lead to my death. That's just to get to work or see friends. I could imagine myself braving worse to get to use full dive vr.

But you couldn't pay me to get into one of those death traps when cars were first invented though. I'm eager but I will definitely wait a while before jumping in.

This is some really cool tech and I'm happy the trials are starting. It's a shame having it attached to Elon is ruining the perception of it, I'm hoping other companies get in the game soon.

Congrats, you are a mouth piece for the oil industry and part of the problem.

Out of curiosity, what was it?

Hypothetical situation, if there was a way to induce lucid dreaming and record the dreams as well? Coding doesn't really lend itself to this but advertising, filmography or architecture would benefit at least at the early concept stage.

I agree It's all very sci-fi but if they can make a product that works like they say (sending ultrasounds to target specific parts of the brain to induce lucid dreaming), it has amazing entertainment value right out of the box regardless of its work use.

I think his point is that the REM portion still does its job regardless of if you are lucid or not during the phase.

This would actually be insane for music creation. The few times I had dreams where I was playing an instrument, it was pure fire

You can still build a garden by hand even if it's commercially done with machines. It will be the same with drawing, voice acting, etc.

The problem is and has always been capitalism and the rich that abuse of it, not automation.

Languages evolve overtime. It's very much an insult these days.
