The next wave of virtual reality may be largely driven by the gaming industry, but the technology’s impact is being explored and felt by many other fields as well. Join us at 1pm Eastern for a discussion of how the cheap availability of quality VR headsets is already changing the worlds of psychology and space exploration.
With us today are:
- Dr. Marat V. Zanov, director of training at Virtually Better Inc., which has used VR in the treatment of phobias and trauma for decades
- Dr. Albert “Skip” Rizzo, USC Institute for Creative Technology, who has been researching therapeutic uses for VR since the early ’90s
- Victor Luo and Jeff Norris, engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, who are using VR to improve Martian mapping techniques and robotic remote controls
