The Resurgence of Virtual Reality And What It Means For The World (and You)
This edition of Making Oregon features Kent Bye of Portland, the founder of The Voices of VR Podcast. Kent has travelled across the country talking to many makers, academics, and technologists who are driving the launch of Virtual Reality into the consumer mainstream. Hear why Kent believes the imminent Virtual Reality resurgence will have as great an impact on the world as the invention of the Gutenberg Press, which ushered in the Renaissance. He’ll discuss with us the implications of VR in fields across the board, including medicine, education, psychology, entertainment, and gaming. We’ll also learn why he believes Oregon is perfectly situated to reap economic benefits as VR becomes part of everyday life.
