Just watched a cable t.v. knowledge network style bio on a local game designer...he was one of a few game programmers/designers to be given new virtual tour equipment, to see what kind of game he could come up with, in using it. Wow! There's the 21st century for you. A small town techie on a par with silicon valley style locations. Beyond the "anyone anywhere can invent the future" scenario, though, lives (perhaps) the next great thing. If within 2 to 5 years virtual reality will be seamless & everywhere, a guesstimate by this game designer, then why will we need real malls, real storefronts, real showrooms, real offices...already the retail world is moving online, the most recent recipient of that Internet eraser. What will our world look like in 5 years, when this gamer thinks virtual reality will be mainstream? Will we need real schools? Will we have offices seemingly "there", but just virtual versions? Retail will be virtual? What will home designs look like? Hmmm...ok imagineers, it's change that brings opportunity. Time to be creatively thinking. And specifically, as it's my current world, what effect will virtual reality have on real estate marketing? And your thoughts are? Always welcome!
