And thanks to touch points from sci-fi imagination like Ready Player One, VR is one of the foundations to how many average folks envision the metaverse's future consummation.

But it was the most epic.Ī massive installation that lets you explore a life-size, virtual replica of the International Space Station, The Infinite is the largest in-person VR exhibit of its kind. The Infinite wasn't my first instance of traveling miles to try a virtual-reality adventure since the world reopened.
The film Ready Player One, based on a 2011 book, imagines humanity addicted to a society existing in a virtual-reality game.
