RE: ADSactly Tech News - The State of VR From a Noob Perspective

in #vr6 years ago

The future of VR will lead to the following things:

More people finding it more acceptable to pay $8.99 MORE often for apps

Online interaction on a higher level for work conferences and online hangouts (doing a webinar In a virtual conference room and seeing your bosses avatar or face even nodding) -omg Social on samsung vr is AMAZING and reminds me of an AOL chat room

Office spaces reduced to shared work spaces or even employees working from home more often. Your cube is in the cloud in virtual reality

More interest in games from non-gamers

Ironically, more interaction between friends and family thanks to games like Keeping Talking and Nobody Dies, then one household only needs one headset

I can't remember what movie it was but it was back in the nineties and it was about some dude who was investigating videos from someone's memories using a virtual reality headset of some sort. Imagine being able to relive a moment with a friend or special someone who no longer is there and being able to experience it again as if you were there. Having the ability to record it

It exists already but it'll probably be more prevalent: virtual porn in POV

Taking online classes virtually as if you were in a classroom taking long distance education to a higher plane, hopefully it means more Open University. Stanford in India? Sure why not

Even better work life balance because you can work from home thanks to vr.

Great contributions. Let me dig into these predictions a bit here!

In terms of entertainment value you are probably right. I can see social applications that continue to be fun outliving and gaining higher valuations than traditional games!

Online interaction on a higher level for work conferences and online hangouts (doing a webinar In a virtual conference room and seeing your bosses avatar or face even nodding) -omg Social on samsung vr is AMAZING and reminds me of an AOL chat room

This has me very excited to try this social VR Samsung system! Anything like an AOL chat room experience in VR sounds extremely fun.

Office spaces reduced to shared work spaces or even employees working from home more often. Your cube is in the cloud in virtual reality

Creepy but I agree. Big brother will be watching you but you can stay in your underwear and just wear a VR suit!
