Mark Zuckerberg has a great explanation for why virtual reality won't be isolating
In a widely-discussed photo, Zuckerberg strolled through the center of the room undetected while the entire audience had Samsung Gear VR headsets on.
For fans of virtual reality, it was a moment showing the power and allure of these virtual worlds. For its critics, the photo proved that virtual reality could be all the more isolating.
In an interview with Axel Springer CEO Mathias Döpfner for the German newspaper "Die Welt am Sonntag", Zuckerberg argued that the photo was the opposite of isolating.
As for the timeline on when we'll all look like the audience at the Samsung event, Zuckerberg bet that it would take at least another 10 years for virtual reality to become mainstream. Read the full interview with his predictions on the future of virtual reality here.
