What's to stop me from pirating every experience I would normally pay for when virtual becomes advanced?
This can cover anything from fucking a 10/10 pornstar, to travelling to the French Alps, to going to a music concert.
The only exceptions I can think of are eating and drinking where virtual reality wouldn't do shit.

virtual reality for all of those is not as cool as the real thing

But say in 10 years virtual reality is advanced to the point where it feels way more realistic. Maybe they add features for touch too or something.
In the same way that video games developed from Tetris and space invaders to the kind of high definition realistic games you play today. It just took a decade or two.

>Fucking 10/10 porn star
Sad OP, you have to pay for this? Probably some 400lb weeb.
that was just an example.
Even if you can get 10/10 girls whenever you want, there would always be someone "hotter" that you could get just by pirating
I don't have much basis for this theory but I think extensive VR use is going to result in various nervous system problems
Maybe a better example would be famous women, that you'd never even get to be in the same room as
and from there to a realistic travel in the French Alps while meeting locals and learning to climb? not happening
But people would flock to it as a substitute instead of paying tens of thousands of dollars.
Don't forget before VHS tapes and DVDs people said "going and watching a movie in your room on a tiny screen is no where near as good as going out to the theatre"
It's always relative. Times change and people do what costs the least.
What makes you say that?
Good question
Experience is only worth a damn if you brag to people. If you can do it in vr then anyone can and then there would be no value in it.
I nostalgia'd
First of all... sauce?
so they'll just dump HDR and a rumblepack onto VR?
Lol yeah something like that. Maybe you'd wear a suit and it can vibrate and simulate the sensation of wind and water and a decade later they'd bring out some sort of thing that can simulate different smells.
Once you could simulate all 5 senses (keep in mind we can already simulate the 2 most important, seeing and hearing, to a highly accurate degree) then virtual reality would be indistinguishable from reality.
yeah but my point is that video games plateaued into mediocrity so why won't VR
Because it has so much more potential.
And in a way the concept of virtual games didn't plateau, VR is just the next step in an ever increasing field.
The point is that no one is going to buy a game for PC or PlayStation where you do real life shit, but if there was a virtual reality equivalent that was developed and advanced beyond today's "modern" VR technology (which will one day look primitive), then people will be able to do all kinds of shit realistically, but they can pirate it and do it all for free
>Because it has so much more potential.
yeah but it's going to depend on the market available to sell to and it seems like a pretty small manchild demographic to me. Maybe if you get a second hand military developed version kind of like Arma.
But that's my whole point.
It will start out targeting the manchild/weeaboo demographic.
But once the companies making them make bigger profits, and the technology becomes more advanced, it will get to the point where it begins to reach a wider audience, until it's the sort of thing where every household has one.
And since it's all digital and software related. People will be able to pirate whatever they want to do in virtual reality
Nerve Attenuation Syndrome
No idea. I just google imaged VR porn. You can probably reverse search it to find out.
But if everyone is pirating everything there wouldnt be a market. It just seems to me that the average person only plays guitar hero, so if we apply the gimmick mass appeal to VR you end with mediocre roller coaster sims and cheap vibration tech. I think you'll probably get there eventually but like I said I dont think it will happen in the """free""" market first.
But you're not doing any of those things. VR is just a TV simulator.
But that's what I'm saying. When it gets to a point where it does feel real (which will happen in maybe ~20 years)
What are you trying to say. I don't get it. That it won't be pirated until it becomes advanced through market forces?
pirating thing was just a separate point. My main point is that mass appeal favours the lowest common denominator.
What OP wants is already a thing:
And people still go to the theatre, so cinema has in fact not been replaced by VHS. Those are different activities.
Don't be so sure about that.
Your own realization that it is all merely light...
You are life flying through space harnessing photons and electrons to perform feats that would be described as magic years ago. You know something? Magic is just concealed science.
Why do you need your own VR headset user? What are you, some sort of hacker? You can license a free Google VR headset, just sign in! You wouldn't want a private VR headset unless you were going to do illegal things with it.
I feel like this is supposed to be an analogy for something in use today, but I don't understand what you were trying to convey
>inb4 whomst, tips fedora, etc.
Movie theatres are being kept alive by Baby Boomers only. Once they die out so does the theatre
My point is just a trend towards leasing/renting/licensing instead of ownership, and the corresponding lack of control over how you can legally use "your" devices.
DRM, but for everything, would stop your piracy.
getting haptics to work might require that the VR experience be re-rendered personally for you serverside, making it nigh impossible to pirate.
Artificially intelligent viruses taking control of your mind and hijacking your body ala Evil Demon Experiment
>strange days becoming reality
Sci fi dystopia here we come!
Movies are Chinese and Mexican, theatre attendence with Whites has been in decline.
Buggy screens and weird suits are not the future of VR.
The future of VR is brain implants that make you dream on command.
You could get a nasty virus that would make you go through a really shitty, Black Mirror-esque experience.
What if I just use VR for gaming?
The crime for stealing VR would be a simulated jail term of 10 years.
Life is a game
What's stopping someone "hacking" you out of virtual prison
My friend gave me a copy
But surely people would find ways around it (e.g. hundreds of millions of people worldwide pirating via torrents) where the problem is too big to tackle and insignificant in terms of crime
>simulated jailbreak
>simulated police chase
>simulated standoff
>simulated getting shot
>simulated death
>simulated funeral
>Wake up from simulation into real world where you are not in prison
>It's fun to override her inhibitory centers
>>I built that for you
I don't get it, but I'll check those trips.
What did you mean by this?
I feel bad for you, Bateman
Not Batman lol. This is from a different Christian Bale movie: American Psycho
what is realtime.
simulated shootout with cops where you win and runaway and make a simulated bank robbery and live in a simulated mansion
He tried to warn you Veeky Forums, why didn't you listen?
Wet wiring. Direct interface into the brain. Reality and simulation will become indistinguishable,. Every male will be jacking off 24/7. Women will disable the lifesupport systems wiping out all males, and then clone new men to serve as slaves, their frontal brain lobes removed to prevent original thought. I, for one, welcome our new Fem-nazi overords
>Imply women can even comprehend high school algebra
top kek
It's the other way around, m8. IRL women will have to "degrade" themselves to porn star levels, because they have to compete with virtual women. Otherwise they will be nothing more than a gestation chamber and child raising machine.
The nature in balance will be restored from this feminist/sjw bullshit.
oh ye of little faith (and philosophical literacy).
quit dodging the underlying question, especially when it's obvious how relevant it will be very soon.
In principle, there may come a day (which will no shit come at some point if humanity is left to continue at this rate), artificial experiences will trump "natural" ones in every meaningful way. What then would obligate one to invest any energy outside this artificial reality? If it is in fact the case that this is more ideal, why are we not collectively investing our totality in making this a reality?
closest thing to a legit answer. connection to other people can, in principle, be replicated more ideally artificially. you can still have genuine interactions with other personalities artificially, akin to a lucid dream of loved ones where they behave as themselves and you can go with it or take control.
>inb4 interaction with a simulated personality is not the same as interaction with a truly sentient one as ourselves.
The subjective nature that we value in others still exists in the simulated reality given that you're experiencing it. The extent of our conscious access of various interacting simulated personalities varies to our liking. We can solely attend to and experience one person's events while genuinely empathizing with others, or experience all outright.
that is only because movies are released their first
O fuk, we goin' full total recall nao
So saying that eating and drinking wouldn't be covered in VR is admitting that not all human senses will be covered. So yes there will be a difference between VR french Alps and IRL french alps. Just the little stuff will make you want to actually go there. Such as, feeling the dirt, smelling the air, feeling the wind blowing on your eyes, honestly even things as simple as running your hand up and down a tree. Just little shit that you cant replicate with tech. Or i at least would be very interested as to how they are replicated if one were able to do so.
>What's to stop me from pirating
The law.
u wouldnt download a girlfriend >:(
VR will be very severely regulated
>no sex
>no facial expressions
>limited gore
>limited vr time
>mandatory recording of events for at least a week back to be used as proof for illegal behavior
Reach simulated old age and reflect on your virtual crimes, and become overwhelmed with simulated guilt
