Virtually There: The Current State of Social VR

About this event

How Will Virtual Reality Merge with Social Media to Revolutionize Communication Once Again?

In much the same way that the flying car or living on Mars were once Space Age concepts that symbolized our idealized life in the future, virtual reality is an Information Age dream that has yet to be completely embraced by the general public. We've seen the technology revived with some advances in input devices and progress in software. Yet we haven't seen it fully take off.

Here's where "Social VR" comes in. By combining the communicative aspect of social media with the interactive and haptic abilities of virtual reality, Social VR holds the promise of changing the way we work and collaborate with colleagues, travel, spend time with our families, and have fun with our friends. It may very well be the game-changing platform that VR developers have been waiting for.

Singularity University's Experts on Air series continues with Aaron Frank. Join him as he explains how virtual reality is primed to take monumental steps from being a niche gaming platform to a ubiquitous means of communication.
