The virtual world can never be a substitute for real world experience. And the more it takes over our lives, the more we forget to feel the sun on our skin, the more we forget that there is an entire universe to be discovered even during a 10 minute walk to work.

In virtual reality, it's more about capturing and creating worlds that people are inhabiting. You really are a creator in the way the audience lives within the world that you are building.

It is possible to build a virtual-reality generator whose repertoire includes every possible environment.

I really believe that the virtual world mirrors the physical world.

Most of us live in artificial environments and then we go to work in artificial environments and the world becomes something that you see through a window.

The environment, what surrounds you, is so alive and delightful and complex.

We live in a visual world now.

I like to connect to people in the virtual world, exchanging thoughts and ideas, when in the physical world we might never have the opportunity to cross paths.

I had a book of essays out in 1997 in which I talked about the increasing virtuality of our lives. I've always been afraid of that in my own life.

Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world.
