You mean like a suit?

I find current HMDs strapped to my head very uncomfortable, and that they're a major hurdle for mass VR adoption. In general, people want to be _less_ physically absorbed by technology, not more. I can't imagine anyone would want to use an exoskeleton robot suit for increased VR immersion. If anything, you would be less immersed because of the suit itself.

I think this level of physical immersion is not feasible. It's likely that we'll prefer brain-computer interfaces instead, and the stimulation would be done directly on our nervous system.

I’ve found this to not be true. If you were to give people the ability to get mantis blades, they would probably get mantis blades
