This is strong, visceral writing, so proceed with caution.

My friend wanted to show me BigScreen, which is a blend of AltspaceVR and old-fashioned screen sharing. It’s pitched as a “Virtual Reality LAN party.” You co-occupy a virtual scene with up to three other people, and a version of your computer desktop floats in front of you, available to play games on or do whatever. What’s crazy is you can see other people’s desktops, as well. Like a peer-to-peer VR Twitch, kind of. You see their floating avatar, you see their screen, and you feel “present” with them. Screen looking is back.

I popped into a nice luxurious apartment, sharing a couch with someone I’d never met. I immediately started tweaking my screen — a little further away, a little bigger, a little bit of curve, no wait I hate the curve. I heard someone pop in and then leave, muttering something like, “That’s messed up.” Finally I got my screen in a comfortable spot, and I opened a browser and loaded up my favorite Tumblr.

And then I looked over.

Clearly, VR brings some very dark cyberpunk possibilities, but this actually makes VR seem even more compelling as a business model.
