Publisher's summary

We are gradually getting to a point in technological advancement where the “crazy” and "Wow! That’s so cool!” things we read about in sci-fi novels and see in our movies may no longer be “someday” fiction but may quickly become everyday interactions in our lives.

The line between today’s fantasy and tomorrow's reality is a constantly moving one. The growth of our technology is exponentially pushing the frontier in our real and virtual world past preconceived limits.

Would you like to experience the thrill of swimming with dolphins deep in the ocean without the fear of being in danger from sharks? What about being in a movie theater, playing a video game, watching your favorite team, or interacting and cheering with your friends while still being physical present in your own home?

These and many more types of experiences are quickly becoming likely in the near future as the use of virtual reality technology continues to expand. In this audiobook, we will look at what virtual reality is, how it started, and how we use it today. We will also look at some of the fields it is disrupting, creating, and destroying. We will discuss the differences between virtual reality and augmented reality, and we will look at the economic drivers behind their development.

Finally, we will touch upon the moral and ethical considerations that fully immersive technology raises. We will even engage on a fanciful “how far can this go” conversation.

URL footnotes are read

This is probably a great book to read, but it is terrible to listen to. The narrator reads every footnote as it occurs on the page and many of those notes are URLs to Wikipedia. It's hard to keep track of the content as each URL is read out in it's entirety, Read it, don't listen to it.
