The hype around VR has lately been growing and ads are making the case that it is time to take on this new form of interaction for all kinds of applications. However, in a great article (published by TechCrunc) the writer Sibjeet Mahapatra argues that there is a major problem in the world of VR. The problem is the missing killer app.
Mahapatra discusses what he sees as the two values that VR can offer, primarily a sense of presence. But he also argues that VR still lacks when it comes to authenticity. The author makes a good case for what is needed for VR to really become something wanted by a larger audience. So, a good read about interaction and interactivity.
[And of course, I always like someone who mentions Rorty and his "experience machine"!]
