Where else may VR go?

After again needing to scour the web for a reputable source I came across an article written by Time magazine. This article seems to be written based on an interview with Frank Azor the president of Alienware. The important ideas in this article state that VR will continue to grow, though there are some requirements for it to do so.

Virtual reality at the time this article was written (2016) was leaps and bounds behind what we have today. Something as simple as motion controllers changed the dynamic of the technology entirely. Now while in a virtual world one can interact with their surroundings in whichever way they choose. Reach out and grab a racket and play tennis in a simulated gym. This was huge in helping VR get a welcoming into the gaming industry. While VR remains mostly in the video-gaming industry as of now it could soon see many applications in a workplace.

Virtual reality technology as of now is limited. As with the statement in this article from two years ago, a wireless high-end VR headset isn’t on its way anytime soon. This is due to the headsets already being the best we can do with our current technology. If there is a breakthrough in VR technologies in the near future this could change.

The most important factor in the success of VR is whether or not an entire industry will back it. Without money and research, there isn’t any way that virtual reality will reach its potential. In order to truly become a futuristic technology, we need to rally behind it and show our support. Force the businesses to see it as worth their time and effort. If not virtual reality will die where it stands. This isn’t to say that virtual reality isn’t already making good progress, however.
