Generic 2029 indistinguishable-VR wording is not located. Audiovisual and tactile forecasts are different claims, not interchangeable evidence.

Attribution unresolved — outcome conditional on this wording

Virtual reality becomes indistinguishable from physical reality during the 2020s.

Conditional verdict: PENDING

At original deadline: NOT DUE · By review: PARTLY FULFILLED

The deadline remains open. Consumer audiovisual immersion is meaningful progress, but it is not complete sensory indistinguishability.

Excluded from aggregate author accuracy. Conditional wording and related canonical versions are never counted twice.

The evidence.

No outcome evidence has been verified.

Legacy ratings are preserved in the source package. They have not been accepted as evidence for this assessment.

Capability, adoption, and timing

A related breakthrough is not automatically fulfillment. Review must check the actual capability, how widely it was required to be used, the specified technology, and the original deadline. A prototype cannot establish a claim about routine or widespread use.
