How immersive technologies (AR/VR) will shape our future | Dinesh Punni | TEDxTUBerlinSalon

Immersive (AR/VR) technologies are past the hype now. They are already being used across multiple industries outside of what many think is just gaming and entertainment. And now, they are slowly entering the consumer market – so what does this mean for us and our society?
Over the next years we have to completely reset our thinking on how we interact with digital information. Dinesh Punni has been eating, drinking, and breathing immersive technologies (AR/VR) for more than 5 years now.
Today, he uses his experience to pave the way for upcoming talents by teaching them how to create immersive experiences on his YouTube channel and immersive insiders, his online education platform.
More than 10.000 people are learning from his lectures today and his goal is to make immersive insiders the global standard for AR/VR education

My family is literally scattered all across the world and I really can't wait for the day that I can see them all in a virtual space.

[ErinKalshaw]

The idea of being able to meet family from across the globe virtually put a big smile on my face. No long haul flights, airline food and expensive tickets, count me in.

[HunterD]

So cool! The concept of a "full dive" VR is inspired by science fiction, where users could fully immerse themselves in a virtual world, experiencing it as if it were real, potentially with full sensory feedback and neural interfaces. . While there is no definitive answer yet, several emerging technologies hold promise for providing sight or enhancing sensory input in ways that could, in the future, enable fully blind individuals to experience a virtual environment.
That would mean so much to my sister who is blind and was born with optic nerve hypoplasia. This really touches my heart that maybe one day she will be able to see in the VR world.

I haven't experienced AR/VR yet but after listening to Dinesh I'm going to investigate it.

I loved the example he gave of trying out furniture in your own home. What a fantastic app for interior designers. It would save them hours of stress with finicky clients.

[axelrespert]

I have a friend who works in old age homes with giving seniors really cool experiences using VR/AR tech and it's such a cool idea! It makes me really excited to see what else can be done

[hirominakahara]

Dinesh's passion to inspire people around the world to create apps and teach them to write code is very noble.

[pioggiarilassante]

I don't know who needs to hear this, but everything is going to be fine. Release all negative thoughts and relax

Wow I can't believe the difference between the first model and the future models... seems like a lot of progress in just 50 years!

[WaterMelon-efvz]

I hope researchers and scientists focus on the disadvantages and shortcomings of vr and correct them so it can be safer in the future.
Most people who use vr for extended periods have headache, eyestrain, dizziness and nausea.
If we choose to ignore it this may become dangerous for our health as it develops in the future.

[leonardotlucas]

Thanks Dinesh for clearly explaining what all that jargon means. Sometimes you think you know what it stands for but with advances happening every day it's easy to be left behind and bewildered.

[nancymorsay]

Damn that AR headset from the 60's looks insane. Also had no idea they've been developing this tech for so long. Crazy

[mellygigienglish]

Someone’s worth is as much as what they’re running after.🦄💙

[gavin-morris]

This is so cool! I'm honestly so glad I was born during this time, and I can't wait to see where we go from here.

[chelseaavaonil]

Absolutely loved the demonstration of him looking at the inside of a body! So cool

[tshaurich]

Anatomy classes at university would have been totally awesome if I had been able to learn in 3D.

[ShaniBadr]

So very cool. I would love to work in the VR/XR world some day. VR is the future of education and remote work

[lauratherealdealfinnigan]

Gosh I think some of the jargon went over my head but the promise of what immersive technologies has me very excited.

[brooklynnorth]

I have been excited for this tech to be accessible for so long - the way this is going to help communities thrive is beyond comprehension still I Think.

[Odanger]

I think this thing is something like a spirit but am happy to experience in it in life
