Jason Conrad's outline for his lightning talk
Brief intro to VR
quick explanation of Vr and how it works
(Virtual Reality is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment.)
Hit on some non entertainment uses for VR (used in medicine to help simulate the patients anatomy for diagnosis purposes,
looking at using it to recreate crime scenes for juries to see in trials, virtual museums, and military training)
Start to talk about how it's being used in the entertainment world
- Six Flags Maryland has synced up one of their most popular rides with VR headsets to simulate you flying around Metropolis
with Superman.
- Airline companies are starting to look into VR to help improve the flier's experience. Streaming Netflix, giving the appearance
of a larger cabin, to help people with claustrophobia, and potentially syncing them up with cameras in the hull to show what
you would be seeing around you if the hull was made of glass.
- IMAX has partnered with Sweedish VR company Starbreeze to start opening VR theaters, where the movie will be a fully immersive
experience.
- The Void opened up in Utah where it crosses VR with the concept of gaming for a fully immersive experience where people can feel
like they are in the favorite game. (Talk about offerings of the Void)
