Imagine a time when people feel like they're inside their favorite video games, or can travel the
world without leaving home. This will becomme possible as virtual reality(VR) continues to develop.
Experts say VR was a hot topic at the 2015 International Consumer Electronics Show(CES) held on
January 6 in Las Vegas, Nevada. Of the approximately 3,900 exhibitors at the show, more than a dozen
showed off their achievements on VR technology.
VR technology started with games, but developers say it has the potential to transform other aspects
of our live.
Manuel Gutierrez-Novelo, co-founder of Immersi0N-VRelia, says VR can be a great tool for education.
"We can create an animation of the solar system or the molecular structure of water," he says. "If
you see them in a virtual reality environment, not reading about them in a book or watching a video,
I believe you will be able to learn about these things better."
According to Nick Nassiri of Razer, innovations in virtual reality will keep coming up. He believes
they'll happen first in gaming, the extend to other areas including medicine and education. "The
core is getting it right in gaming," he says. "And then the rest will come."
