a video game firm that was located in Marin County.
And they had an office in Sausalito and they were looking out over San Francisco Bay, beautiful landscape, beautiful.
Yeah, I think it's one of the most beautiful cities on a nice day.
But then he said, here, you got to try this.
So I put on a virtual reality helmet and we started to play a virtual ping pong game.
And the game itself wasn't very realistic.
The graphics were pretty crappy.
This was back in 2016 or so.
And the VR headset had wires coming from the ceiling, so it wasn't even wireless at that point.
So there was no mistaking that I was inside a virtual reality.
But what happened was that the physics engine was so good that it really felt like I was hitting the ball with a paddle and I had to move it just right.
And so much so that it made me forget just for an instant everything.
that I was in virtual reality and not playing a real game of table tennis.
And I tried to put the paddle down on the table and I tried to lean against the table.
Oh, wow.
Just like I might do, right, at the end of a game.
But of course, the controller fell to the floor.
I almost fell over.
And then I started to think, well, how long would it take us to get to that point where we could create these types of simulations?
And that's why I laid out these 10 stages simulation points.
