What happens when flight simulator technology eventually becomes a seamless blend of AR and VR?
A VR Life_simulation_game can depict any kind of song or story, person, City or world in any era. A bike or a car, an Airplane just Taking_Off or a Starship heading in for Shore_Leave.
That's what the movie Brainstorm implies in a subtle way. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brainstorm_(1983_film)#Plot
Brainstorm ends at the Wright_Brothers_National_Memorial with the symbolism of VR being like Aviation,_as_an_emerging_technology. At the start of powered flying machines, the flight simulator-AR concept hadn't caught on yet in 1903, 1904 or 1905. The ending of Brainstorm in 1983 was a time when most people still had no concept of Virtual Reality.
