Howard Rose at TEDx (Cyprus):
Virtual Reality is Here, Are You Ready?
VR will make the unspoken spoken.
Presented at TEDx ARUCAD-Kyrenia, Cyprus.
Creative technologies, such as VR, can offer positive and lasting benefits, often offering limitless possibilities to make us healthier and more productive. Howard shares innovative VR solutions that are helping people around the world to relieve pain, reduce their phobias, and adopt healthier lifestyles. VR has the potential to solve our most challenging health and social problems.
The VR revolution has already begun – VR is here. But it’s still early, which gives us a good window to think about the technology and how we want to best apply it. As we do this, I suggest we can learn from other technology examples, like the ubiquitous smartphone, that bring many benefits but also enable many things that are having a negative impact on our society. VR experiences are far more powerful and persuasive than a cell phone. Are We ready for the benefits and the challenges that VR will bring?
