Re: VR
John Barnes -- This idea for training athletes is also interesting. Some top tennis players -- Rafael Nadal, for one -- has sensors on his racket that measure the arc of his swing, the angle at which he connects with the ball, how he hits through it etc. That information is then analyzed to better understand the way he is able to play. Adding VR to this kind of data for a coaching experience could be very powerful

Re: VR
elizabethv -- I think most cultures have indigenous concerts, dance performances or other cultural events, so I'm sure it applies round the world.

Re: VR
Might be interesting too to see a game from the viewpoint of one player, except I kind of think that would require a degree of concentration and focus that most people don't have. But maybe for training athletes; one of the origins of katas, kihons, or pais (those choreographed little dances you spend so much time doing in karate, taichi, or kung fu classes) is supposed to be that when a fighting monk returned after having been through a noteworthy combat, he'd tell the story of his fight by re-enacting it while everyone copied his moves. Then once the masters had learned that particular fight from the guy who went through it, they'd improve his technique here and there till they had the perfect fight he should have fought, and then add some isolation drills at the end to practice the particular techniques that were prominent in the fight (or perhaps the ones he neglected). I could imagine that playing a whole game from the viewpoint of a great player, over and over, might teach a lot.

Re: VR
Actually, I think an aspect like that would be really promising for a lot of similar events. Allowing the events to make money from people who were unable to attend the event at the time. Admittedly, my knowledge of Western Culture is far better than that of others, so I am not sure how it might be applicable to other parts of the world, but I think the idea holds promise all the same.

Re: VR
ElizabethV,
The concert experience is kind of a brilliant start. I could see using VR to allow people to walk through the New Orleans Jazzfest, for example, in a recorded format. It wouldn't quite be full VR -- but you could at least have "walkable" paths between the stages and tents. (In fact in one way it might be better -- you'd only hear the music from the stage or tent where you wanted to, which would beat the daylights out of the real life experience of trying to hear a quiet acoustic act when you're also within earshot of a Dixieland band, a big gospel choir, and a rock band.

VR
I think the way VR is taking off, it really might end up with more sticking power than we've previously talked about. And this article seems to show it's relevance even in India. The other day my husband was at a Grand Opening for a new apartment building being built here in Denver, in an extremely high-end neighborhood. At the Opening they used VR to allow possible buyers to get a feel for what the apartments, building and surrounding area would look like once the building was complete. I would think an application like this could even be used, and successful in India, in higher-end areas of the country. It's an application that could realistically help turn profit.

Re: Viacoms AR/VR and Video AI
What would be really cool is if someone were to combine these VR/AR environments with AI. That would be an awesome application. Seemingly real worlds paired with machine learning.
That's where it's at.

Viacoms AR/VR and Video AI
I think for Viacom things will be more advanced for AR/VR and I not sure about Video AI but it will have something different to offer.
