VR users will discover ways to stay connected for as long as possible.

Could Kansas City be a VR hub thanks to Google Fiber and affordable real estate?

Starting in cities, we will see housing designed to support virtual reality lifestyles spring up accross the globe. If for no other reason than the ability for VR to provide a near constant stream of dopamine hits. Check out the book Ready Player One for timely science fiction predicting this outcome.

A user can live a life inside of VR.

Though it may appear foreign and strange to those of us who were born into the real world, there will be little harm living inside VR.

Choosing where to live is choosing an aesthetic to live with.

There will be people whose chosen aesthetic is Azeroth. Others will choose organic communities in the real world Rocky Mountains. Yet others will choose to live in a mixed reality. The power of the human imagination leaves no possibility out of reach.

Denizens of VR will emulate the real world, and create their own means of spending time.

We have seen millions of people base their real lives off of their virtual ones, prioritizing their time in-game over all else, and forming relationships and families via digital connections. Virtual reality will open the doors for multitudes more to follow suit. No longer restricted by a chair and a screen, people everywhere will become immersed in their own virtual realities, along side other fellow humans.

They may even choose to live there.

This is post 37 of my 90 day VR experiment. Join me here for a daily dose of virtual reality design, gameplay, speculation, and adventure.
