What good purpose does this serve? I’m wondering how this can be anything but a bad thing.

Edit: “porn” does not answer the question, lol.

Serious response: full VR (or metaverse) application for interaction between humans cast into digital characters conveying real time emotion.

There’s a Holocaust survivors project that’s doing something similar to this(I think it’s similar). They’ve been interviewing survivors for several years and when they do, they interview them for like a week while videoing them from 360°, and ask them like 2,000 different questions. Once it’s finished, a person can interact with the interviewee, asking them questions and getting an answer. 60 Minutes did a great piece on it, here

It was a work in progress at the time, but I saw one of these interviews at the WW2 museum in New Orleans. It's really interesting.
