"Imagine, if you will, a future in which ultra high net-worth clients meet legless avatars of private bankers from private jets; where retail customers get to queue in cyber space to speak to a low-poly adviser about their mortgage difficulties; in which job interviews look like something out of The Lawnmower Man."

@pluralistic One thing that bugs me about this stuff: everyone makes fun of the crappy graphics, and that's fair, but even if the graphics were super-advanced & realistic, there's still no good answer to the question: what purpose does this serve? How does it make my experience with (banking, shopping, work meetings, whatever) any better or more efficient?
