Virtual Reality, or as it is called VR, is teleporting people to either fictional or realistic places to see things they probably wouldn't see in their everyday life. The newest trend, and technological advancement is VR. Although there are limited they will be the biggest thing in a few short years. Have you ever wanted to go to Egypt? How about go to space? Well with the VR technology all of that will be possibly right from one's home. Even video games are joining the trend; the PlayStation VR, which is set to be released in October 2016. This will make the gaming industry bigger than it already is. There are many different VR devices, ranging from some for phones as well as some that you connect to the computer, as well as one that is the most price efficient that is made of cardboard.
The VR trend started last year with the release of the Oculus Rift. It created a brand new sensation in the tech industry. It allowed people to feel play games, and move around without any controllers, they were part of the game. Ever since the release of the Rift everyone has been trying to catch up to the VR race. The one who perfects the VR technology will basically dominate in that specific area, leading to millions in revenues.
Why has VR become such a big trend? The capabilities allowed by the VR technology allows for things that were never possible before. For example, students in medical school can learn through VR technology instead of actual patients. Yes, they won't get real experience but they can practice and make costly errors without risking anyone's life. Many companies are using virtual reality to train their employees. It allows them to be put in real world situations without actually being in a real situation. VR is the way of the future, so move aside and make room for the virtual world.
