Mars Odyssey – An interactive single-player VR educational simulation that takes you to the distant red planet to repair NASA’s Mars Exploration Rovers – including Viking, Pathfinder, Curiosity, and Opportunity – which have fallen under disrepair. The Oculus Rift experience will utilize D-Box chairs in an immersive 24-seat theatre.

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 can’t guarantee that these predictions will come out to be true (I always joke about the fact that I miss many of the predictions about Meta/Oculus), but I think they will be worth reading anyway to understand what can be the trends to look for in this new year. Me wearing my branded Oculus Quest 2. So… let’s start!

Amazon sold me a moulded nylon grip for an AR-15 airsoft rifle… it was time to start work building my first development “Mule”. It was super interesting to study their manufacturing and design, I took lots of photographs and made notes. It had no sensors, just a simulated sensor bar in front of the handgrip.

Facebook says that Beat Games will remain independent and the game will remain the same, but these are the same words that I’ve heard when in 2014 it acquired Oculus, and we all know how the story ended (and in fact, the popular Damo9000 ironized about it).

We can use a simulation to help do what’s called exposure therapy. So, for example, someone who might have a fear of flying, we can develop a simulator that allows him to go through the experience, or fear of heights, or fear of spiders, or really anything that there is a fear reaction to. We can do larger scale studies.

The Stanford Virtual Human Interaction Lab has a focus on exploring and studying how VR technology can promote pro-social behavior, such as helping us better understand how our behavior affects the world's ecology, how our behavior affects other people, and studying how we can shift attitudes and shift behavior using virtual reality technology.
