Added 2024-11-25 05:06:57 +0000 UTCJess explains why a sense stream is a richer experience than VR (and a live sense stream would be even richer than a recording, although you would still lose detail compressing the data for transmitting the stream from one person to the next)
Also, I edited the previous strip to make it longer, check it out!

You want to date yourself - I remember tape and 8-tracks we all thought that CD's would never catch on because you couldn't record on them. Or how about video tapes - I still swear that Betamax was superior to VHS. NOBODY thought that Laserdisc would take off even though it was definitely superior quality. It was a real shock when suddenly you could fit a film on something the size of a CD rather than a LP record. Recordable DVD's were another breakthrough nobody saw coming as people were keeping their VHS recorders for just that reason.

2024-11-25 14:09:30 +0000 UTCI was just thinking that the bandwidth requirements must be insane. Every sense is streamed touch, smell, sight, hearing, taste etc. not including those senses like proprioception. I mean Felix hasn't even mentioned the fact that his TEETH feel different OR that things smell different. I mean (not meaning to be rude) ladies have a superior sense of smell to the men. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprioception
