Show Notes:
To break the ice, I asked Steven, whether he’d rather have a real transformer car, or have a space shuttle in his backyard.
His response, “I’d rather have the space shuttle.”
Our conversation was based on all things augmented and virtual reality.
Some questions I asked throughout the interview are:
- What is augmented reality & virtual reality and the difference between the two?
- How have they been used in entrepreneurship?
- How expensive is this technology to implement?
- Why should I use AR/VR to expand my brand?
- What are some of the common mistakes that advertisers are making?
- How long have both forms of technologies been around?
- What are some of the side effects that are associated with virtual reality?
- What are we going to be coming with next?
Main Take-Aways:
-
Virtual reality is a completely computer generated replacement to your true visual and audio surroundings.
-
There are a number of companies that are starting to incorporate these technologies either in promotion of their products or work or as part of their products.
-
The scientific literature shows that women of Asian descent are far more susceptible to motion sickness than for instance women in North America or the Caribbean.
