The Human Side Of Virtual Reality (VR)

8i Raises $13.5M To Chase The Human Side Of Virtual Reality (+Video)

There I stood, about a foot away from a mother and her newborn baby. The mother was talking to her daughter in a video captured in virtual reality for the child to see one day when she’s older. It was realistic. Almost scarily so. I was able to walk around a “room” and watch the mother speaking from every angle, including behind her.
I’ve never seen that much human detail with a VR getup on my face.
