The Raindance Film Festival , for example, received 600 VR submissions this year, including the first feature-length feature in the format. As part of my job I spend a fair amount of time in simulated worlds, trying out virtual experiences, and I’m always struck by how powerful they are in relation to even the best movies or videogames.

Or we can put on device on our head (a head-mounted display or HMD) that completely occludes us from the real world allowing us to enter a completely simulated environment which we can walk around and interact in because the computer is sensing our physical actions: this is Virtual Reality or VR. I call them the “Incarnations”.

And even the Oculus Quest is at $400, and they seem to be the $200 Oculus Go. Facebook is still investing in Oculus, obviously.

The amount of money that they can save on having to physically do a build of a design — a first iteration of a car, what have you — I mean, that’s millions of dollars of time in labor that they can save if they can learn as much as they can through a VR simulation of the car.

You could do some sick simulations and distortions of the real world. If you haven’t seen a Microsoft Hololens or a Magic Leap you probably have no clue about how amazing this will be. One such example is I saw a volumetric football service that is being prepared for the device next year. Go even further.
