@thatpatrickguy
@thatpatrickguy THE NEXT MEDIUM?
@thatpatrickguy “ People don’t want to lug a computer with them to the beach or on a train to while away hours they would rather spend reading the sports or business section of the newspaper. Somehow, the microcomputer industry has assumed that everyone would love to have a ” keyboard grafted on as an extension of their fingers. It just is not so … - New York Times, 1985
@thatpatrickguy “ The truth [is] no online database will replace your daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place of a competent teacher and no computer network will change the way government works. … Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and ” newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure. - Clifford Stoll, Newsweek, 1995
@thatpatrickguy “ “I don't think people will want talking pictures long” ” - Joseph Schenck, President of United Artists, 1928
@thatpatrickguy “ “the noise would simply drive audiences from the theaters” ” - Mary Astor and colleagues, 1967
@thatpatrickguy “ “[Television] won’t be able to hold on to any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a ” plywood box every night.” - Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century Fox, 1946
@thatpatrickguy “ “When virtual reality gets cheaper than dating, society is doomed.” ” - Dogbert (Scott Adams, Dilbert)
@thatpatrickguy How people respond to life-changing inventions… - Morgan Housel, Innovation Isn’t Dead, Time Mag, 2015
@thatpatrickguy I’ve never 1 heard of it.
@thatpatrickguy I’ve heard of it 2 but don’t understand it.
@thatpatrickguy I understand it, 3 but I don’t see how it’s useful.
@thatpatrickguy 4 I see how it could be fun for rich people, but not me.
@thatpatrickguy 5 I use it, but it’s just a toy.
@thatpatrickguy It’s becoming 6 more useful for me.
@thatpatrickguy I use it all 7 the time.
@thatpatrickguy I could not 8 imagine life without it.
@thatpatrickguy 9 Seriously, people lived without it?
@thatpatrickguy “ “I just tried HTC’s virtual reality headset Vive, and I’m certain we’re on the precipice of a major change in computing. This is going to change the world as we ” know it. Really.” Dave Smith, Business Insider 2015

@thatpatrickguy “ I in no way think that VR is going to be like 3DTV. It’s already too far along and you see so much investment ” from all of the major players - Kelly Alfieri — The New York Times’ VR Team
@thatpatrickguy The first half of 2016 alone saw $1.3 billion invested in VR. - 2016 report by IAB
@thatpatrickguy “ It’s expected that 24 months from now, we’ll have a much better understanding of the four or five key use cases around how and why consumers will use VR, versus what they do on their phones, ” iPads, TVs, and everything else. - 2016 report by IAB

@thatpatrickguy Why WebVR?
@thatpatrickguy No app install. No app store ecosystem drama.
@thatpatrickguy Distribute your content direct to your audience.
@thatpatrickguy It’s free to build with and open- source.
@thatpatrickguy Headset agnostic means a wider audience.
@thatpatrickguy Pairing WebVR with the IoT has HUGE potential!
@thatpatrickguy You don’t even need to know JavaScript.
@thatpatrickguy How?
