"Technologists are not noted for learning from the errors of the past. They look forward, not behind, so they repeat the same problems over and over again." Be honest, doesn't the idea of combining virtual reality and artificial intelligence concern you a little? At work we continue to push progress, but at home we go on media fasts because our screens already make us feel less human. Aren't we immersed enough already?

TLDR; Virtual Reality can be immersive and fun, but add natural deep Artificial Intelligence and you quite literally get a new world which -- beyond the computer generated world around you -- may not actually be so virtual.

TLDR; Virtual Reality can be immersive and fun, but add natural deep Artificial Intelligence and you quite literally get a new world which -- beyond the computer generated world around you -- may not actually be so virtual. As applications in Virtual Reality are increasing in quality and variety, early developers are providing us with new interaction dynamics that are expanding the richness of immersive virtual worlds. By layering in aspects of natural artificial intelligence, experiences are developing that lose the feeling of being so "unreal;" distinct memories, interactions and relationships are being created that cause the user to question -- well, if it happens in real life, but inside of a headset, does that not make it real? Of our five senses, Head Mounted Displays (HMDs) handle vision, a solid pair of 3D headphones like OSSIC handle sound; AxonVR and others are working on haptics and touch…next up is smell and taste, those should be, well…interesting. But beyond our five senses which create the feeling of physical "presence" in a virtual space, is the "immersion" of having a real experience, experiencing the unexpected and having the opportunity to create very real memories.
