Going from the previous post, the potential of full dive virtual reality is limitless in terms of scope. Just imagining the number of things, you can do while in a virtual world controlling your avatar with your own body movements, while asleep of course, opens a ton of avenues for uncontested realism and immersion. However, with all that in mind, could it be possible to live a full life in the virtual world instead of the real world? It would be better to think of the virtual space as another undiscovered planet that continuously grows with new developers and new features built in, so in the same sense of moving to a new planet and working there, could people make a living by working and playing in the virtual environment? Would that even be a good idea? These are the types of questions that start to pop up from the enormous scope Full Dive technology introduce with respect to VR titles. In the show, Sword Art Online, players would act as vendors (normally NPCs act as vendors) and would make a living by doing tasks such as smithing, cooking, and trading. Now, if those aspects were taken and the people who did those tasks were given real compensation, I would expect the world to be turned upside down with that one change, and unfortunately, I expect it to change the world for the worst.
