And neither condition really matters. Only the circumstances because that's relevant to Experience. And if there's no unified model format, that's also irrelevant. Experience has no file format.

Exactly! There’s no reason to believe that the constraints of screen real estate will dramatically change any time soon. Nor do we expect any breakthroughs in the laws of physics that will shorten the time it takes to move bits around the globe. Successful virtual locations will benefit from being within eyesight of where people socialize, window shop etc. They’ll also have to partner with content distribution networks that can ensure the bits are geographically close to the target markets.

That said, location is important - but not in the real world sense. It is only a matter of what one is close to. Footlocker next to an escort club makes no sense - and that's just plain common sense.

That said, location is important – but not in the real world sense. It is only a matter of what one is close to. Footlocker next to an escort club makes no sense – and that’s just plain common sense.
