@thatpatrickguy
One common
question.
@thatpatrickguy
Will VR last?
@thatpatrickguy
People don’t want to lug a computer with
them to the beach or on a train to while away
hours they would rather spend reading the
sports or business section of the newspaper.
Somehow, the microcomputer industry has
assumed that everyone would love to have a
keyboard grafted on as an extension of their
fingers. It just is not so …
- New York Times, 1985
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
The truth [is] no online database will replace your
daily newspaper, no CD-ROM can take the place
of a competent teacher and no computer network
will change the way government works.
…
Yet Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT
Media Lab, predicts that we’ll soon buy books and
newspapers straight over the Internet. Uh, sure.
- Clifford Stoll, Newsweek, 1995
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
“[Television] won’t be able to
hold on to any market it captures
after the first six months. People
will soon get tired of staring at a
plywood box every night.”
- Darryl Zanuck, 20th Century Fox, 1946
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
“When virtual reality gets
cheaper than dating,
society is doomed.”
- Dogbert (Scott Adams, Dilbert)
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
I in no way think that VR is
going to be like 3DTV. It’s
already too far along and
you see so much investment
from all of the major players
- Kelly Alfieri — The New York Times’ VR Team
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
The first half of 2016 alone
saw $1.3 billion invested in
VR.
- 2016 report by IAB
@thatpatrickguy
“I just tried HTC’s virtual reality
headset Vive, and I’m certain
we’re on the precipice of a major
change in computing. This is
going to change the world as we
know it. Really.”
Dave Smith, Business Insider 2015
“
”
@thatpatrickguy
@thatpatrickguy
It’s expected that 24 months from now,
we’ll have a much better understanding
of the four or five key use cases around
how and why consumers will use VR,
versus what they do on their phones,
iPads, TVs, and everything else.
“
”- 2016 report by IAB
@thatpatrickguy
VIRTUAL REALITY
@thatpatrickguy
IS STILL BEING
WORKED OUT.
@thatpatrickguy
Which is an
opportunity not
a disadvantage!
@thatpatrickguy
Remember
the last point?
@thatpatrickguy
4You can help
shape VR
@thatpatrickguy
How people respond to
life-changing inventions…
- Morgan Housel, Innovation Isn’t Dead, Time Mag, 2015
@thatpatrickguy
1I’ve never
heard of it.
@thatpatrickguy
2
I’ve heard of it
but don’t
understand it.
@thatpatrickguy
3
I understand it,
but I don’t see
how it’s useful.
@thatpatrickguy
4
I see how it could
be fun for rich
people, but not me.
@thatpatrickguy
5I use it, but
it’s just a toy.
@thatpatrickguy
6
It’s becoming
more useful for
me.
@thatpatrickguy
7I use it all
the time.
@thatpatrickguy
8
I could not
imagine life
without it.
@thatpatrickguy
9Seriously, people
lived without it?
@thatpatrickguy
Don’t wait
until step 9.
@thatpatrickguy
Wrapping
up…
@thatpatrickguy
1Get VR.
Show VR.
@thatpatrickguy@thatpatrickguy
@thatpatrickguy
2Avoid the
drawer.
@thatpatrickguy
3Don’t go it
alone.
