Infinite Reality: The Dawn of the Virtual Revolution

In this talk, we take a journey through the universe of virtual reality, exploring what emerging technologies and their applications have to say about humans. Virtual reality is an unbounded extension of humanity, and its latest forms will soon be seamlessly integrated into our lives. Advances in understanding how the brain works, combined with the explosion of immersive digital technology, can make fantasies such as "personality downloads" possible-meaning that your great-grandchildren would be able to have conversations with you in the future, all in a virtual setting that will be indistinguishable from reality. This is exciting for some and terrifying for many…and could be made available in just five years.
