The speaker hopes that the experiences of virtual reality and AI will help humans appreciate the physical world more and understand themselves better, but cautions against pretending to have ultimate knowledge.
Virtual reality has come a long way from the red and blue 3D films of the past. With cutting-edge technology like Oculus Go headsets and immersive storytelling, the possibilities for VR are endless.
The speaker discusses how transitioning between virtual reality and physical spaces can help us appreciate the value of our home. They also point out the distinction between the arbitrary and messy nature of software compared to the physical world.
Virtual reality is gaining a foothold as a form of entertainment, with some venues offering laser tag-like games using VR headsets. However, the potential success of VR as a widespread technology remains uncertain.
The potential of VR extends beyond just the home experience, with its true value being in social and event settings. The pressure to create commercially viable content has hindered creativity in the VR realm.
