As the headsets and devices that deliver Virtual Reality become commercially available – what is the ecosystem that will develop around them? What are the implications for media and entertainment – for content that extends beyond brief demonstrations, for narratives that immerse the user in experience? What are the implications for learning and training – for academia and for enterprise? How will VR impact the delivery of medical care – for doctors and for patients? How can businesses leverage the power of virtual reality for productivity and collaboration? How will VR technology address the challenges of synchrony to accurately incorporate other senses? What type of experience is VR best suited for – and what new experiences will we discover? What is the optimal combination of content, audience and purpose for Virtual Reality?
