In spirit of today's class, I wanted to post this article on how virtual reality could change the world of music in both the way it is delivered as well as consumed. (http://techcrunch.com/2015/12/07/virtuality-reality-and-the-future-of-music/). Some examples from this blog suggest that VR can provide the type of immersive experience that can be game-changing. Imagine experiencing all live-concerts without ever going to the venue!
This is just one industry that could be changed with the onset of VR. However, there are many more where VR could disrupt a lot of things. What hits my mind first is social media. The way we interact with friends and family on social media like FB could completely change with the onset of VR. Instead of just posting photos and messages and liking them, you could actually wear your VR headet and suddenly meet up with them at your favorite restaurant! Guess Mark Zuckerberg realizes that and hence went ahead and acquired Oculus as soon as he could. Another one is education, where VR would go a long way in disrupting long-distance and correspondence education. This is just a tiny subset of what VR can change going forward. It will be interesting to see how adoption of VR ticks up as there is more mass adoption! Maybe teleportation was about about VR!
