I think this step towards a more immerse virtual reality can actually be dangerous. A lot of intellectual types might disagree but I do think that creating such immersion is a dangerous thing because it will reduce the value people place on the real world and especially the natural world, making them even less likely to care if big corporations screw it up with biospheric degradation.
It seems like it has a high chance of leading to even more narcissism as well because we are reducing our dependence on others to such a degree that we will care about others less and less, which is something that has already started happening with increasingly advanced interactive technology like AI.
