yes, but that does that have to mean exclusively/primarily visually immersive?

not at all, but i think most will hop in visual-led immersive experiences like they play games or put on a show today. and one day will fire up all the senses so it's Avatar-esque. but exploring other senses sans visuals like you were mentioning is very fascinating for sure. olfactory <=> memory triggers v interdast
