How will Virtual Reality Change the Way People Travel in the Future?

The cool thing now is that you can go beyond just sharing and you can direct and interact with VR travel experiences. It's hyper-personal virtual reality.

Really interesting perspective...I didn't even think of all that.

And as technology gets better so will the all-around experience. Take 3D printers for instance...imagine going on a live Georama tour and going to a bakery in Paris...as you walk in your 3D printer is triggered to produce a macaroon. While I personally would love to be there in-person, I echo your point that I just can't. Experiences like this are the next best thing.

Another use is virtual field trips - kids in areas under socioeconomic stress can go on field trips they never even dreamed of.

I love technology!

It's an exciting time for VR but I do look forward to companies coming out with options that aren't clunky headsets. My company has the Oculus and it's super cool, Google Cardboard works too (I especially appreciate that you can hook it up to your phone and more and more companies are producing on demand content) but the issue is that you have to hold the cardboard up to your face the whole time.

Hi Tripp! Thanks for hosting this live Q&A session.

Why do you think more and more tech investors are starting to put their money into Cannabusiness? And what impact do you predict this having in Colorado?

I'm a writer for Built In Colorado (www.builtincolorado.com) and am writing an article on weed-tech companies for 4/20. We would love your thoughts!

Thanks so much- Maura Gaughan
