VR short for Virtual Reality is already shaping & transforming almost every field in our lives. Major technological breakthroughs underwent in 2020 in virtual reality and by 2025 the industry is expected to reach about $88 billion in revenue.

VR headsets will possibly morph ever so closely to a lense. One major obstacle the virtual reality industry needs to overcome is locomotion. While common locomotion methods such as joystick walking and teleportation are the fundamental ways of moving around the virtual world, this sector leaves much to be desired.

Luckily there are many companies focused on this issue such as Kat walk with their latest omnidirectional treadmill called Kat Walk C. Full body haptic suits are also in development such as the teslasuit. Many other VR companies are also focused on bringing the sense of touch into virtual reality. In this video you will learn about the latest technology, games, software & hardware, driving the VR market forward.

We are living in interesting times. It will be fascinating to see if by 2025 VR will reach high tech as we've seen in the movie ready player one.

It seems Extended Reality or XR is going to be the high tech that will make us feel like we are living in the future. XR encompasses a conglomeration of VR - virtual reality, AR - Augmented Reality and MR - mixed reality. Qualcomm the tech giant that produces chips powering some popular VR headsets such as the oculus quest, has made a huge announcement. They will start collaborating with at least 15 leading global mobile operators to deliver XR viewers. There are many mixed reality headsets that exist today, however most of them are meant for developers thus the price is enormous. Such as Hololens 2 with a staggering $3,500. But many companies focusing in the development of AR, VR, MR and now XR are beginning to pay attention to the consumer market. The nreal light MR glasses are such an example. In the near future we will see more XR devices coming to live that will transform our day to day life and will eventually replace smartphones. The future with these many XR devices in a post-smartphone world does look very bright.
