how far can virtual reality go?

I really don't think it will go that far, living oon the internet, there would be security risks. You would be more likely to find some kind of programme that would simulate it but i don't know, the idea of being data stored on a harddrive being transfered through out the world doesn't sound to great. your TRON like utopia is far from completion. \n\nThe whole concept of using glasses, and other equipment is doesn't grab me. I would prefer if virtual reality started moving more towards Star Treks' Holodeck type virtual reality, but it might be a bit difficult to reproduce the look and feel of, say an apple or physical human beings, in such an enviroment. There most likely would be some kind of suit you would need to wear, that would send signals to your brain so that you thought you were holding an apple.\n\n\nI think it's best we get on with our lives and let the scientists worry about how far they can go. When the time is right we will have earned millions so we can retire and live our VR dreams.

How much more real could it be?

Not the current kind of computers. Keep mixing animal neurons and metallic parts and we might see something really scary.

At least 12 feet.\nI could be wrong though.

A far pointer is 1100 miles away.\nyou can't walk around a huge pointer.

No. There is no practical possibility. Humans can't travel at a speed equal to or greater than that of light.

That would sort of depend on what you land on, now wouldn't it? If you have a parachute you could jump from the top of the Petronas Towers in Malaysia and survive. I think the farthest a human has fallen accidentally and lived is under fifty feet, unless they just happened to fall into something soft like a snow drift.

Virtual Reality - almost there so this is most likely.\nBrain Transplants are currently too tricky.\n\nAlien Encounters would be cool - this is what I would like most. It would make veryone on Earth get along a bit better.

not too far hopefully

Imagination never goes too far from reality?\n\nAnyway, this i is not any product of imagination, but one very closely related to an element of reality (in this case, -1).\n\nAnd last time I checked, they were calling it complex, not imaginary?...\n\nHey, don't mind me, keep dreaming! It can be more important than sticking to some reality.

3 ft if it is the person who needs to see the complete image, because however distant the mirror, the virtual image will always be twice the distance of the mirror from the observer, and the mirror will work like an aperture.\n\nIf someone else wants to see an object in the mirror, the size does not matter as long as the distance of the observer to the observed person relates to the mirror "aperture".

Depends on the device. Some, several miles.
