Is it ok for a husband to improve his wife's looks via a MR headset?


And if not, what if he keeps it a secret from his wife?

It's funny, there's a game called Ring Runner: Flight of the Sages with an Alien species that cranked this concept to 11 to the point they were attempting to engineer a pathogen to cause other species to develop a particular gland that would render that species able to interact with them by way of psionic avatar.

The species was pictured as comically horrifying and ugly, but amongst themselves with a generous dose of handwavium, the gland basically normalized sensory experience of one another amongst the species.

Cute and fun game, all told. A family work as I understand it. Always wished they'd have continued writing on it.

Presumably it’s his wife who decides whether it is ok.

Why not get rid of their spouse altogether if they prefer the MR version? Sounds like they didn't really want a relationship in the first place.

> what if he keeps it a secret from his wife

I don't think you can keep that level of non-attraction a secret for very long.

Is an MR headset an improvement over a paper bag?
