I couldn't care less about AR. I want VR and only VR.

I don't want digital overlays of the world around me at all. That's completely useless and will be filled with ads and noise. I want to live and breathe in imaginative fantasy worlds and escape the real world completely.

I want to be a character in interactive movies. Have realistic D&D sessions with friends where the real world disappears completely. To create entire planets and universes and populate them with stories and adventures.

I don't want labels on cooking ingredients, advertisements for Taco Bell while I walk around, or email notifications popping up during conversations. AR might have industrial use cases, but the real world implications are annoying.

And they’ll all be in VR if it ever gains success too.

But maybe there will be a few years of bliss, like the early internet. Or maybe that bliss has already happened.
