How Machine Learning and VR/AR will disrupt the Media and Entertainment Industry
Man, it just happened again.
And there is a good chance that it’s probably happening to you right now: walking along a familiar path you suddenly don’t have a recollection of the last few minutes. It happens all the time when we’re focused on something. The "zombie state", as it is known, happens even when we drive. Which is incredible, if you think about it: you can get lost in thought, and still carry out a difficult task such as driving.
Focusing on a smartphone, and ignoring the surrounding environment is very common. Technology allows us to extend our minds, and connect to people and knowledge hardly attainable with physical means. Internet devices allow us to create our own alternate reality.
Virtual and Augmented Reality will create even stronger alternate realities. We will be able to immerse ourself in stories and adventures that wouldn't be feasible or practical in real life. We will walk even more distractedly.
