It's just another interface. It's simply moving from 2D to 3D. The innovation/revolution will be federating the system and tools, but since that hasn't effectively happened for the 2D/social networks yet, it's just compounding a corporate evil (again) for the time being. The Social Network could have been created in a way that empowers and enables the individual rather than exploit them. It didn't. Until corporations start paying you to view their ads instead of paying Google or Facebook, users are just being farmed.
It’s actually an alternate model, not an interface. Models are picked up and loaded by the brain, substituting the ‘normal’ model we run when conscious. Eyes, ears and spatial orientation feed the normal model. Faking these inputs allow for building alternative models, but neither is an ‘interface’.
Not disagreeing with your main point of evil possibilities, however. Any model that diverges from ‘hardened reality’ will have accelerated means of propagation of evil.
