What’s Next?
VIRTUAL REALITY: Experience computer-generated worlds as if they were real.
I know what you’re thinking...
Didn’t we try this in the 90s?
We totally did…
… and VR failed to live up to the hype!!!
But good ideas take time...
Apple Newton: 1993 ~300,000 sold
Apple Newton: 1993 ~300,000 sold iPhone: 2007 700,000,000+ sold
What does VR look like now?
Why is it VR’s time?
Facebook / Oculus Google Microsoft Samsung Sony / PlayStation Valve / HTC
VR is finally accessible!
In fact, you already own a VR device!
Is VR just for games?
NO!!!
Where will we use VR?
EVERYWHERE!
“Wearable” devices already permeate our lives
“Wearables” are populating the virtual world with data.
Virtual Reality will let us see the data that surrounds us.
The face is the final frontier.
