The point is can it be possible in the real world but too far gone for the mainstream and a risk for the cutting edge. Sort of like the sweat suit. When it first appeared in daily clothes context, it was high-tek fashion. The movies had advanced people wearing them, devoid of cultural markings, cerebral and sophisticated. Today the sweat suit is everyday wear in the sports context and the around the house lounge-ware, way more versatile than PJs.
I wake, shaking the dreamtime from my eyes. The circle in the middle of the room beckons me to stand tall but relaxed. The bed folds behind me, you gotta love Murphy beds, the treadmill comes from the floor. Putting the ear-buds and visor in place the room is transformed to a vast vista and I standing on a tiny platform can see jagged rocks and canyons of unexplored depths. A voice asks if I am ready to make todays leap of faith. I say yes and step forward. The view changes like the sky is tearing in every direction and the sound swallows me. I hear my heart race as the rhythm tells my body to run, jump, kick, glide and free fall landing where I started. I sit on a bench with a virtual friend talking about todays agenda while playing wari. I bathe and dress thinking reality is a different world unpredictable and scary.
Driving by home after home I always wonder how others live.
