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.
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?
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.
