      Why would I “see” anyone remote as an avatar over prohibitively expensive gear when a cheap webcam delivers the original picture with all the cues and information we get from conversations face to face? (And without motion sickness as a bonus.)

      This vr crap only makes sense for people who don’t want to interact or who can’t interact like normal human beings. Or who aren’t human beings like that insectoid that inhabits Zuckerbergs skin.
