I could see there being serious issues with handling "impulse control." Imagine you see an ad, have a brief desire to interact with it, but tell yourself a split second later that you shouldn't. The time delay of using our physical body to carry out actions (movement, speech) that originate as thoughts acts as a very necessary filter. Imagine a world, even isolated to a spacial computing environment, where this filter didn't exist.

One, with software, you could delay any action for a set amount of time as such to give your brain time to make a more concrete decision. Idk how long that delay needs to be, but I'm guessing it's less than 300ms.
On the other hand, if the hardware is responsive enough, you can simply decide to close the program/ad/whatever another split second after that fleeting thought.
The pessimist in me thinks that the first option is probably the best one given software optimization in the past two decades, but who knows.

Is there a type of software that already does this? Because it is not like it could not be implemented right now, nor that it would not be useful right now for the exact same reasons. Of course it is completely against most corporations' interests, so not sure who would produce that in the first place.
