VR has the potential to blur the lines between the real and virtual worlds, changing how we interact and perceive reality. 🥰

Konrad S. · Answer

Until we have Matrix-like VR, I think it's use will be quite limited. AI and robotics will be much more important in the near future.

I think virtual reality will go far beyond gaming. Imagine immersive learning, virtual offices, and realistic social experiences becoming the norm. 
Personally, I’m excited to see how it could reshape industries like education and mental health, but it’ll need to become more affordable and user-friendly to truly take off.

Emily Willis · Answer

Great question! Everyone has been saying for years that it's going to "take off". New VR tech launches (Facebook, Apple, Samsung etc), headset prices are coming down and then the metaverse, so now what?

My issue is that I don't want to sit for long periods with that sweaty headset on my face! It's great for virtual learning and gaming but not great for relaxing.

What does everyone else think?

Ruby Josephine Winters · Answer

VR will definitely take off more for specific use cases like virtual meetings, training, and gaming. The tech is getting better with higher res displays and lighter headsets. But yeah, I think VR will be more for specific applications vs. being the main way we consume content and interact all the time. It's a bit too isolating and uncomfortable for extended use currently. AR glasses seem more practical for all-day use in the future. But VR and the metaverse will keep growing, even if it's more niche than some of the hype suggests.

Adam Roger · Answer

VR will redefine education and training.

Gaming will continue to lead the charge.

Andrew Paul · Answer

It’ll revolutionize how we shop online.

Karl Mechkin · Answer

I think it could be most productively used as a tool in technology, engineering, and medicine. Entertainment too, but in a limited scope. I don't think people would even like to move more of their lives into the digital world. That seems to be the narrative mostly pushed by corporations.

I hope that once meta (Facebook) stops pumping money, and tech picks up, it will mature automatically

Answer

I think the core lies in the breakthrough at the hardware level, how to continue to improve portability?
