As far as I remember the &quot;virtual&quot; hype of the 90s was more about the concept of virtual worlds, cyberspace and having experiences online. I think that part has become true in things like WoW and Minecraft. VR as a technology is still not mainstream, but has always existed in form of simulators and other niche products. I don&#x27;t think anyone should have expected that to come sooner, because the technology just wasn&#x27;t ready (cheap) yet. It still isn&#x27;t in some ways. I goes back to my earlier point, people imagine things one way, but we get something else that is practical at the time. Doesn&#x27;t mean it didn&#x27;t happen though.
