The Phoenix Take: Virtual Reality and Business

In June 2015, Oculus unveiled the consumer version of its Rift virtual reality headset. Is this the start of something big for consumers and businesses? Virtual reality requires specially crafted, thoughtful experiences made for the medium. Here’s what Kumar Vivek, Chief Executive Officer at Phoenix App Labs (and Top Developer Award winner by Google) has to say about opportunities in the VR space.

“From a sociological point of view, mobile apps pose a great threat to human interactions. We already see people nose-diving into their devices on public transport, in the streets, in restaurants. I believe virtual reality is a paradoxical chance to stop this regression by rejuvenating and steering human interactions into completely new directions. VR, as a completely immersive medium, has the potential to transfer all existing human interactions into itself. There’s also a chance new interactions will be invented, enabled by the never-before experienced concurrency of technology and soul. We will be separated from each other on the most basic, biological level, but our minds will be connected in much deeper, faster and richer ways.”
