But I'm also paying attention to the last 30 years where this keeps getting tried and either it doesn't work or it degenerates into a 2nd life analog. There's nothing magical about 2nd life, but in a first person POV and in 3d.

Would you find it magical if it were truly immersive 3d where eye movements would scroll and an Omni-like 3D treadmill actually worked?

No it's even worse. Now I have to work even harder to have the marginal experience I can have from my desk.
