How Dating in Virtual Reality Could Lead to Love in the Real World
Dating.com starts a virtual reality dating service and Lifewire explores the pros and cons of dating in the metaverse compared with general online dating.
"Because you are either chatting through text or voice in real-time in virtual reality, you can get to know someone much more rapidly than trading messages through a dating app," Don Heider, the executive director of the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics, who researches online communities, told Lifewire in an email interview. "If there is a connection, people can get much more information about a person, such as their background, likes, dislikes, and such, than one can through a series of messages through apps."
