Experience is the new reality! This video isn't your everyday typical video. It take a look into how communication has changed in the past and how it could change in the future. You will see elements of different kinds of immersive technologies coming into play as communication advances. Selling of memory and experiences become an everyday thing. Live a thousand lifetimes by purchasing experiences. We could even one day save the lives and experiences of our great thinkers, famous leaders, or the horrors of war experience and be able to learn from them without having the need to make mistakes ourselves. My favorite part of the video is where they say "Google Buys Microsoft" Ha! The future will be interesting, I wonder how close it'll turn out like this video. Take a look!

What is Virtual Reality (VR)? The Meddling Geniuses at ImmersiveTech break it down and explain it in plain simple English. There is more virutal reality around than you think. Granted we still have quite a way to go but every journey begins with a first step.
Virtual reality is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that simulate places in the real world as well as imaginary ones. It takes your ~current~ reality and ~replaces~ it with a virtual one. The first widely accepted ~digital~ virtual reality was created by the US Air Force in 1966 as part of their flight simulation training, however traces of attempts to ~replace~ reality predating digital computing can be found as far back as the 1860's when 360 art through panoramic murals began to appear.

We are all starting to see simple applications of augmented reality (AR) becoming available on our smartphones these days but here is one that comes to our desktop. No... not our desktop computer, literally our desktop. Joon Moon has created a fun AR program where the AR layer is not merely displayed to the user but actually allows the user to interact with the AR. Simply put, this is totally cool! This is certainly more entertaining than playing solitaire and I am sure more than half of us would get a real kick out of playing with this for hours!
It is interesting to consider the implications of AR that can be interacted with. Traditional AR has always been an overlay of digital information on top of our existing reality while interaction has remained largely in the world of virtual reality (VR). Now with interactive AR the two (AR and VR) are starting to have increasing areas of overlap. The future is going to be interesting indeed!

What are Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs)? The Meddling Geniuses at ImmersiveTech break it down and explain it in plain simple English. Who knows? You might learn something new, get a good laugh, and even share with your friends!
Brain-Computer Interfaces (BCIs), which is sometimes called a direct neural interface or brain-machine interface, is where the brain communicates directly with an external device. Sounds like science fiction? It's not! Granted we are still a long way to go for BCIs and with future development, BCI will be another way how innovation makes our world an easier, better, and more fun
place to be.
