But a whole other level of being more realistic. It will be fun to be able to watch/experience things that we loved doing during our lives.
100%. I have thousands of old photos and hundreds of hours of video footage of me riding motorcycles, bicycles, and generally enjoying life. When I can no longer do those things, my only wish is for someone to put a pair of VR goggles on me so that I can relive those days.

More recently, I used VR goggles to float around the interior of the International Space Station as it virtually orbited a virtual earth. I used handholds to stay still and push and pulled on them to move around. I looked outside the windows and I operated the giant robotic arm to try to grab a passing satellite. It's the closest thing to being the astronaut that my 10 year old self dreamed of being.
