Virtual Reality
While it’s already changed the way we watch television and play
games, the explorative potential of VR is the next big thing. In
2016, Greenpeace teamed up with Alchemy VR to create an immersive
experience of
David Attenborough‘s Great Barrier Reef Dive, where users could
virtually explore the underwater world of the coral reef alongside
him. Similar tech companies have created the Grand Canyon
Experience, allowing users to take part in a virtual kayak tour
through the national park. There’s also Augmented Reality which
takes these virtual experiences one step further, using force and
vibrations to imitate different sensory experiences. While we’re
not convinced it’ll ever beat the real thing, it does allow people
to travel to places that would otherwise be inaccessible.
