On today's episode: We aren’t strangers to the world of VR. TV and movies have taken us to places in virtual reality that truly seem like a world within a world - a world free from restrictions where you could do anything you want in the virtual space. And of course games aren’t new to VR, either. Gaming juggernauts of the 90s made attempts to capitalize on virtual reality during the 16 & 32-bit eras, offering unique takes to bring VR to the masses. However, for some, it wasn’t the right time or the right level of technology and VR took a back seat. With the lessons learned from days past, and a rather successful crowdfunding campaign in 2012 that set the rules for VR gaming, the surge in adoption and support is showing that VR isn’t going anywhere. How does VR look compared to the 90s, what are some of the concerns we should be focused on, and what’s next for the tech! This week, We are VR!
