However, connectivity and gameplay will remain a difficult challenge for least the next five years.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Pearce added that some of the limitations of integrating VR and the Metaverse may have no solution because of \u201cphysical limitations that stop those things from connecting on a fundamental level:\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWhen we saw VR kickoff, you could see that there was potential.
