For me it was a slow gradual shift that began around 2012 when Palmer started the Oculus Kickstarter and today I just now realized that I am officially living in the future
Video related is proof of this
That would have seemed absolutely sci-fi just 10 - 15 years ago.
To create that video you would have needed a ton of money and a sophisticated Hollywood team but now I can create it just goofing around in my room while drunk.

i can not walk away
from these feelings
I will feel like I am living in the future when they find a reliable cure for cancer. Or when they make a robot girlfriend with a human personality and realistic boobs. Whichever comes first
the future is now (;´v`)
the future has been now for over a decade
the future has been now for over a century
we are living in the past

VR is a giant scam designed to trick investors into forking over billions. If you ever wonder why the vast majority of software for VR is still shovelware-quality, it's because it's designed to fool investors who are over the age of 50 and are generally ignorant about computers, and not so it can be enjoyable or useful for you the user.
Same principle applies to cloud gaming, and likely will be applied to more coming meme technologies that companies push as being "the future."

Second Second Life will be huge!
Yet everything is always ...worse than that 20 year old game.
I've never felt an urge to buy a VR headset so far. Maybe in another couple decades, but I'm doubtful.
I watched a letsplay of virtual virtual reality on youtube, and it was pretty fun.
>>11 whilst I agree that most VR software/games is shovelware and it's essentially a gimmick to sell $$$, borrowing a VR headset to play shit like boneworks blew my cynical ass out of the water. I firmly believe that this is the evolution of gaming, like when doom established the first-person shooter genre. The immersion is on another level. I don't think this metaverse nonsense will pan out though, hoping that facebook etc make a massive loss on the concept
