An early interview with Jaron Lanier, poster-boy for VR with some great material: "Virtual Reality is conceived of as an expansion of reality, the provision of alternate realities for people in mass in which to share experiences, and so the types of metaphors that come up are things like cars, travel, different countries, different cultures. For instance, you might very well have a virtual car that you ride around even though physically you're in one place. It would go through different territories in Virtual Reality so that you could get around them – or transporter booths, perhaps. So you could have geographical metaphors. There might very well evolve a new geography, let's say – a fictitious planet with new continents that you can dive into to find new realities."
