More people trapped inside on the metaverse = smaller crowds at outdoor recreation areas?
2 comments

I think the real world will become populated with android avatars which are controlled by people from their VR headsets.

So you’ll have small human crowds but loads of anonymous avatar androids taking all the good fishing spots, riding the trails backwards, etc.

I’m joking hopefully

That would be a win-win for everyone.
Why?
VR enjoyers can enjoy VR, reality enjoyers can enjoy reality.

Vienna, where I am living, is completely overrun by people. Public spaces and transport at peak hours have become a mess in the last years. The first lockdown showed how beautiful the city can be if everyone stays home.
