[TB-tzdl]

This video makes me view the future a little bit brighter, empathy by changing perspectives through VR sounds like a wonderful possibility

*_T-posing to show the power of VR is CLEARLY the best marketing tactic_*

[DoLifeYOURWay]

The power of the mind and the ability to train it is powerful. Using VR can increase our potential if used correctly.

VR is the future, so glad to be a part of it.

I don't think people realize how effective VR is for exercise. I can burn a ton of calories and not even notice until I'm done playing. Games like Beat Saber, Creed and Sprint Vector are very fun to play and between the 3, you work out about every muscle. It would also be great for keeping the elderly in shape. There are many options of difficulty for anyone no matter what kind of shape they are in.

Virtual Reality is the future of not only gaming, but alot of aspects of our lifestyle-- If they do it right in the future, it might be as revelutionary as the cellphone.

[NafisaAthiya]

Hands down one of the most impressive, insightful and well-curated TED talks I’ve ever seen 🙌

[Chronomatrix]

It's getting clear to me this is the way to go in many many fields, like architecture, so I'm focusing on that.

[KrazyKain]

I'll never forget the first time I played a VR cooperative game and as far as I was concerned my friend was standing right there in front of me.

streaming classes can get so boring; imagine the new learning experience using VR...Excellent!!!

[GiffysChannel]

Currently reading Jaron Lanier's book "Dawn of the New Everything" where he talks about his life and how he came to found the first VR startup in 84, VPL Research. I love how Thong Nguyen here really conveys the possibilities of VR in this talk.

[JanEspen]

With satisfying three out of humans five senses it is totally possible to trick your brain with seeing, hearing and feeling. I've tried enough VR experiences to understand it will change the future forever.

Firstly, I love the way that you speak! Your ability to remove filler words from your speech helps with the viewer look at you being more natural. Your insights into how Virtual Reality can be used in industries more expansive than games and experiments. I liked the research you showed from Stanford showing that VR can help increase memory retention and reaction time. I never thought about the application of using VR in helping people understand racism, body image and most impressively how you can give your self advice. Something that should be looked into within New Zealand with our high suicide numbers.

[jasbadsirron]

Fantastic presentation. Very smart human this one.

[kim-ysfs]

Iv just gotten VR and i played a 'game' called 'the key'. It was deeply impactful, surprised me with the ending. Im still thinking about it 3 days later. I do not wish to give spoilers because i do not wish to ruin the impact for anyone. I whole-heartedly recommend it, however, from the art to the narrative, it was AMAZING! Gave me a taste for how VR can be used for positive action and raising awareness.

[LuMezIppo]

Do not forget the emotion. It is a responsible balance of accepting and feeling the emotion while accepting it in that realm.

I am obsessed with my Vive, especially with games like VRchat.. It gives a whole new way to play games.. We still got a ways to go, but the potential goes through the roof.

[jacobmortimore]

Can't wait for the haptic and thermal feedback gloves they are working on, also the 360° treadmill . I can't wait to disappear altogether from the physical world and make a living in vr

[carmendelgado]

That was a really good presentation! He has awesome speaking and teaching skills. As a teacher, I am persuaded to use these realities more somehow in my classroom. 💗
