Virtual Reality has become more popular than ever in the past few years, with new additions like the HTC Vive and Playstation VR, but its rise could have even bigger effects in the future. An interview between Time Magazine and the co founder of Alienware, Frank Azor, showed what may be coming soon for the industry.
One point that's particularly relevant to the animation industry is that, in a field that's growing to be as big as any other technology industry, lots of different companies will have a chance at building a complete experience. While companies like Oculus and HTC are making the hardware, others, like Intel or Nvidia, are improving the graphics, and tons of animators and designers will be able to create work for the platform. As Azor said, 'VR is the same type of thing; no one company can solve all of the problems.'
Companies like Alienware are giving an optimistic view of the future for virtual reality, and I think it could definately become what they see. The industry has already advanced immensely since the technology was first designed, and the uses it could have could help even more.
