We can all agree that technology in the past decade has evolved by spontaneous amounts. One of the areas of technology that has especially seen these effects is the gaming industry. Graphics in gaming has come so far in the past few years and is now at a point where it looks very realistic. Well, 22 year-old entrepreneur Palmer Lucky was working on a technology in a trailer in front of his parents house in California and developed something called the Oculus Rift. The Oculus is a set glasses that one can put on an escape the reality of the world. While this technology can help architects build buildings, help surgeons practice surgery, or help soldiers manage their PTSD, Lucky is most excited about applying it to the area of virtual reality video gaming. Just imagine entering into your own world after a long day at work. Of course, there will be a good amount of controversy on the health affects of the Oculus but it is indeed a very cool concept and once that is worth noting.
This is really interesting! I like how he saw how a product that was already in use, could then be used for a more recreational use. The limits for entrepreneurs really are endless. Great post!
It will be interesting to see in the next coming years how this product comes into fruition. I myself am very interested in seeing the health affects and the overall experience of this product so like i said it will be interesting to see what happens with this company and product line.
