I'm going to go ahead and post this cringe, but I figured there be a place on 4chan to post it. I've got very little experience with VR. About 7 years ago a coworker had his phone in a cardboard thing and showed me like this star wars experience (idk what to call it, it wasn't a game and it wasn't a movie, it was like a place) and it was really impressive, but there wasn't any real application for it at the time and definitely seemed limited by the hardware so I mostly forgot about it. 

I was watching Matt Walsh the other day and he was ragging on this documentary about VR and I was interested so I ended up watching it. It's on HBO "we met in VR" or something and it had this profound effect on me. I was amazed at what you could do there and the stories were just heartwarming. It reminded me of the mid 2000s internet, where everything was about creativity and community instead of the dry corporate ad hellscape that is the internet today. I'm mentally fixated on this Ready Player One tier fantasy.

My question for you guys is, is it really that amazing? Both the community and the capabilities of the system? My wife has been sick for several years and I don't have much in the way of friends and it looks like it could be a fun way to meet people. I don't play video games anymore so I'm less interested in that. I'm also a senior software engineer with a creative side and it looks like it could be a fun opportunity to make some really cool things. I've used unity before, is crafting these "places" and "experiences" in VR particularly difficult?
