Do you think Virtual Reality redefine our real relationships? In what way?

Virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR) are poised to have a transformative impact on how we perceive and engage with the world around us. I don’t think VR will fully replace real-world interactions, but it will supplement them in ways that are hard to predict. There’s something irreplaceable about face-to-face human connection — the warmth of a handshake, the subtle cues in body language, and the spontaneous energy of being physically present with others. However, VR will likely play a significant role in specific contexts, especially where physical presence isn’t possible or practical. Ultimately, we might be looking at a future where virtual and real-world relationships coexist, offering us new forms of connection, but it will require us to navigate the balance between embracing the benefits of virtual worlds and maintaining our roots in the physical one.

Interesting question, personally I think that more advanced VR like the metaverse is becoming less popular; so maybe interesting to define what Virtual Reality is, I would say that things like videoconferencing are also a form of Virtual Reality. What is indeed important that not all senses are interacted with with VR only sight and hearing. Personally I think that trust is much easier to be build with physical persons, as threats have a physical component.
