The attitudes of IEET readers toward spending time in a future idealized version of virtual reality cover a broad spectrum, from very little interest to a readiness for 100% immersion.

Although the largest percentage of respondents to our recently concluded poll picked a moderate answer “” “I think I’d split my time inside and outside about evenly” “” that was the choice of less than 28%. Almost 21% said they’d be inside their personal virtual world “most of the time,” and another 14% said “ALL the time.”

On the other hand, nearly 20% said they’d only spend “a little time” inside their VR, while almost 9% said “no time at all.”

It’s unusual when we do a poll to have such a wide range of answers. If and when this kind of virtual reality arrives, it will be interesting to see how many people decide to change their minds!

If it was near-ideal, how much time would you spend inside virtual reality?
