Future of Virtual Reality

Microsoft Hololens

Microsoft showed off a futuristic concept of virtual reality. It blends real surroundings with digital layovers, as shown in the video. Although it is still in its early stages, I think that it has the potential to be useful in variety of ways. For example, it can change how visitors see a natural history museum. Visitors can each have one of the hololens and have an interactive experience. For example, when you are looking at fossils of a dinosaur, a digital 3D animation of that dinosaur can pop up and give you a loud "roar". Also, as you are walking down the main hall, a 3D pterodactyl will fly right above you and give an immersive feel.  I think this tech will be very useful to engineers. Architects can build their design in 3D and get a much better experience than designing with a mouse and keyboard.
