Part of me wonders how little body consciousness future generations will have when there is easily accessibletechnology like this that sucks the focus away from the immediate body you reside in and into a virtual world. On The Positive, I like how you can stand to use this technology, and not be trapped sitting in a chair.

Brave New World Ho!

Or, on the other hand, it allows us to more fully control our sensory reality, thus beginning to make "reality" as a concept more fluid.

I think the term 'fully control' is tricky in hiding 'gotchas'.

Does 'full control' of sensory reality imply a pre-condition of being locked into a near-sight helmet where the eye muscles are limited to only focus on an object right infront of them for (possibly) many hours at a time? Questions for 2020 i suppose.
