Virternity Project was launched this week. What is it? It aims to explore immortality via a virtual realm using technologies such as virtual and augmented realities, as well as blockchain. According to the website, it has two main goals: Immortality of human identity and halting the race for resources (human immortality and saving Planet Earth). I'm sure you have lots of questions, but the website is pretty comprehensive in tackling the details.

So, we live forever in a virtual reality? You would still need physical bodies to maintain the equipment creating this virtual world.
How are these people supposed to live when the air becomes toxic in a few decades?
VR will not save the human race. Only real action, starting about twenty years ago, could have.
Well, according to the website, part of the project's goal is to help save the earth. How? By having a virtual world, society won't need to use up the earth's resources anymore and thus, the planet could start to heal itself.
It is also indicated that one could go back and forth from virtual to physical. But for such a huge project, of course a lot of research and testing still needs to be done. But the technology for it already exists.
