WE BUCKLE OUR SEAT BELTS IN ANTICIPATION OF 2015
What we can expect from VR this year:
- Increased interest in virtual reality worldwide.
- More people will own HMDs (Head Mounted Displays).
- Major growth in VR content, which will provide the education on what thrills and what doesn’t inside the headset.
- Leading platforms will emerge in VR content distribution.
In November, a friend said, “What I love about VR is that the community is small. You can know everybody. And the technology moves fast, so the industry is constantly pivoting. Lots of surprises.” This year in VR was like a good house party: big enough to be interesting, small enough to recognize people that, when you do, are people you’re excited to see.
But, like a good party, word travels fast and thanks to major investment from big tech companies and the press that follows, it’s blowing up. Time to spike the punch bowl and make some resolutions for 2015 (aka the year VR goes viral)!
Here are ours, feel free to add yours in the comments:
- Be more human than robot.
- Create and capture essential cultural moments for VR native experiences.
- Exercise 3x/week.
- Find a great CTO.
- Create immersive and transcendent experiences that bring the best parts of reality to the world beyond the headset’s curtain.
A very happy New Year from your friends at the Playhouse.
