> All of this stuff is pretty nascent and I agree that there's lots of crap there, but there will be something unquestionably brilliant about inhabiting virtual spaces with folks where you can bend some laws of physics to make mundane things (like meetings) work a little bit better than they do IRL.

I totally agree with this sentiment and I don't think you even need VR/AR etc, to achieve it. This is a big reason why I helped build spotvirtual.com. As a kid, some of my most meaningful relationships and experiences were forged through online gaming (ever played UO?). A big part of this wasn’t necessarily the gameplay, but just the shared experience of being part of a virtual space that had its own rules.

There is definitely room to apply this same experience to a work setting, where mundane things can be transformed into something more meaningful and effective.
