Exactly. We don't have virtual reality at all. We have virtual remote viewing with sound.

We are basically at the Eliza stage of VR with a bunch of people pretending Eliza is not that far from passing the Turing Test.

Once we have virtual skin sensation and virtual physical movement there is no intellectual debate about any of this. Just instruction tutorials about how to have the experience because no marketing needed.

Once we have this I can think of far more interesting things than swimming around in the Avatar movie.
