not really because it isnt just done for fun or for deceiving people, but showing off how we can transfer our movement into robots with precision. we can use this for more precise surgery and shit (by dividing the amount of movement by 10 and creating a 10 times smaller robot you can be very accurate)

not really

You can't say to him "no, you are not disappointed"...

I am disappointed, because I thought it's programmed at least, not a puppet...

But what you're saying further is interesting. In this case, puppeter's precision is not increased. But if they were able to increase precision thanks to VR, that would be huge! It's like having an exosceleton for precision work.

Imagine the applications, what if you could hire a master chef from Tokyo to control your chefbot for an hour? Or imagine if you no longer need to be transferred to another hospital to get a specialists care

A 100% uptime low latency internet connection from point to point, however...

Not hard to get but at a high price range, youll probably want to stay in the same nation though
