Create a captivating scene that showcases Vancouver's East Hastings Street reimagined in a dystopian cyberpunk future. The street is a gritty, urban landscape. In this world, the drug epidemic has been supplanted by a dependence on immersive virtual reality. People in ragged, futuristic attire, their faces illuminated by the flickering holographic displays strapped around their heads. They are homeless, sitting on the ground, hunching, some slumped, feeling lost. Street is littered with ragged tents and strewn with trash. Some people are standing hunched over, lost in the digital worlds projected in front of their eyes, while others gesture wildly, interacting with invisible interfaces. The glowing, translucent VR headsets are sleek, contrasted against the dilapidated street, and emit vibrant hues of electric blues, greens, and purples that ripple across the dark, rain- slicked pavement. Background shows crumbling buildings covered in graffiti, shops are closed and abandoned. Broken windows. All neon signs are broken; no lights in the street. A towering megastructure looms in the distance. Dim yet eerie rays of moonlight break through the hooey1234 smog, blending with the omnipresent artificial glow. Sharp neon colors contrasts against dark, muted tones, symbolizing the clash of vibrant virtual escape and grim real- world decay. cyberpunknoirlora
