Virtual reality is everywhere right now - find out more at IGNITION
Facebook spent $2 billion to acquire a virtual-reality company. Google is creating a VR version of Android. Consumers and companies are starting to realize there's huge potential in using virtual-reality technology for more than just gaming.
As Business Insider's Steve Kovach explained:
It's simply one of those things you have to try to believe. In the short term, VR will bring on a new era of gaming. But there's so much more to it. Virtual travel. Shopping. Social networking. Movies. Porn. Fast forward a few years, once the hardware doesn't look like a bulky, geeky headset, and we'll wonder why we ever used a traditional flat screen for any of those things.
As VR technology evolves, companies will need to rethink their positioning in the market, as well as what they have to do to stay ahead. Learn more as we explore this trend at Business Insider's flagship conference in December, IGNITION: Future of Digital.
