What would a scifi setting be like that plays all the most paranoid

Man I can't imagine what that'd be like.

See the Star Trek TNG Episode about Barclay's holodeck fantasies for a quick look at the concept.

Could be interesting if the PCs were some sort of Luddite faction

Oh, I've heard of this. if you have a VR simulation that shows a virtual body that very closely mimics the position of your own body, your brain is fooled into thinking the virtual body is the real one.

So what we're seeing here is a feedback loop. They're having swapped perspectives, but because they're not restrained, when one moves their hands, the other sees the hands move and subconsciously duplicates the action. Thus they're thinking - and doing - close to the exact same thing at the exact same time.

THESE TWO PEOPLE ARE LITERALLY MIND-LINKED.

>all the most paranoid views regarding VR tech (Oculus and beyond) to their conclusion?

>People get so immersed their bodies have to be subdued so they can remain safe.
>they're fed intravenously so they don't have to leave VR to eat
>they're suspended in a weird sort of fluid sac so they can do almost anything in VR without it affecting the real world
>Some people live large parts of their lives in VR without realizing it
>People eat whatever they want in the VR world, but IRL are probably eating soy and human corpse-starch
>Criminal justice organizations use VR with the subduing process to achieve ultra-secure detainment while allowing detainees to feel free

But yeah you've got most of those fears realized in the Matrix.

OP here, just watched it and

>a cup of glass is a major plot point
only Star Trek things

pretty cool tho

HOLY FUCK IT'S HAPPENING. On a slightly more serious note, where do I find the tech to do this, how much will it cost me, and where do I find a girl that will let me touch her virtual boobs if she can touch my virtual dick?

This effect has been known for a while. The same principle is used to treat people with phantom limb pain using mirrors.

Basic video goggles and some decent webcams is all you really need. Aside from a volunteer.
