I think you nailed it. The virtual world as described here is one designed for VCs to make money. The virtual world that would be interesting is one created by hackers who find it facinating and then those VCs can fund some startup that maybe figures out a way to make money in this world.

When you say sitting at home in a virtual world, I think of online meetings, which could be improved by having a more real-like world, rather than talking to a wall with Harry Potter like moving pictures of people.

Are you thinking of Star Wars holograms but in VR?

I was thinking of 2D sprites, but yeah. We are not talking about making real, just putting people at different distances in order to make these meetings a bit more natural.
