VR technological advances

How many years before the headsets have been refined down to the size of a pair of swimming goggles? 10, 20? It's bound to get there. In 1980 IBM introduced the first gigabyte hard drive - the size of a refrigerator, weighed about 550 pounds, and cost $40,000.

Electronic tech keeps getting smaller and smaller but VR headsets also rely on lenses and optics doesnt shrink like electronics does. I dont think we'll see truly immersive VR glasses, only augmented reality ones which are more like a HUD.

I`m waiting for a holodeck.

Get them laser projecting into your eyes baby!

Optic nerve implants.

Optical metamaterials with negative refraction indexes, and waveguide technology could revolutionise optics, leading to smaller, lighter lenses with less distortion and wider FOV.

And then we can try re-routing auxillary power through the tertiary node after we've re-configured the secondary sub-array on the deflector dish to emit megatronic particles. This should tighten up the beam and lower the frequency of the distortion waves in the lower pixel spectrum grid.

That's over simplifying things.

tried it, frequency still too high, adding a tant capacitor sorted it.

I can technobabble as well as any Star Trek nerd, however, what I described is the subject of actual scientific research.

I need a TARDIS so I can have a sports field size Vr room

So is using a tant capacitor as a crude system to attenuate frequency
