Instead of wearing the Subpac vests though, which are usually strapped to the body providing haptic feedback for a virtual world, when strapped to the chair the vests provided an added amount of bass to the sound of the experience.

Most of the focus so far has been on building those worlds and experiences, but if we’re ever to achieve a true sense of presence in these virtual worlds, we need to also be able to create really good avatars. Full immersion and meaningful social interaction can only really happen if we feel comfortable in our virtual skins.

I mean, in many cases, you can simulate things with AR that you’re not able to do with a regular website or any other application. So I think the phones will have depth sensing cameras on them, being able to capture the real world, and put it into context, and overlay data on it. And so how do you get people there?

My favorite one is “interoperability” : you shoud be able to go through all virtual worlds carrying with you what you have got in one into the other ones. Another brand I’m very curious about is Samsung : sooner or later, it should announce something, either in VR or in AR. And that’s amazing, I love it.
