Entertainment in 2020 (part 1)


It's 2020, so what should we expect for the future of entertainment? Virtual Reality (VR) and Altered Reality (AR), together often referred to as Mixed reality (MR), will be a large part of the future of entertainment. As headsets become cheaper, smaller, and more portable, without that annoying cable attached. It won't be long before a simple pair of glasses will enable you to see AR in your daily life, and I imagine that we will be walking through a grocery store seeing special deals and animated ads flashing before our eyes. Think about games like Pokemon Go and how AR is used to bring video game characters “into” our real world, and I imagine this technology will only go further, with movies no longer being events we go to a theater to see. We very well might congregate with others at a particular location to experience the movie in the world around us.
