Have you read the book "Ready Player One"? I personally think it is the best book in the universe, and have already read it multiple times. In this particular book, a genius and his friend have invented a virtual reality program called OASIS. OASIS is the next best thing to reality. Its haptic gloves give the illusion of actually touching virtual objects and surfaces. Its sleek visor uses lasers to scan the image of the virtual world right on to the wearer's retinas, completely covering their field of vision. In contrast, the real world looks fuzzy and out of proportion. The creator of this virtual world, James Halliday, was a millionaire who died a supposedly friendless bachelor. So, having no heirs, he hid his vast fortune inside the game he put his soul into. Okay, enough story time.
Some day I'll read it, considering you and your brother have read it so darn many times! I'm not a fan of the idea of VR, myself.
