Virtual Reality promises have been around since the 1990s and probably before that.

Lawnmower Man (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104692/) and The Cell (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0209958/) showed us how amazing it could be and how it was going to change our lives.

Someday soon we are also supposed to get flying cars.

People said the same thing about the internet in 1992.
