I love the modern technology now.

I think that in a weird way, as technology gets more sophisticated, people have become less aware of it. It's become part of our day to day life.

With the headset and motion tracker and all kinds of different future tracking technologies that we are R&Ding, there is just a huge amount of intelligence that has to be created. So we are looking at hiring some of the brightest minds out there to tackle some of those challenges and deliver the very best experience possible for the consumer.

This technology will obviously become more prevalent. Who knows what will result? One thing is certain, computer technology will revolutionize the way we tell stories as much as movie film has.

Perhaps this is because I'm from the generation that grew up watching 'The Jetsons' on TV, but I really thought we would be much more advanced in the areas of transportation and medicine.

I don't do that virtual reality stuff. I'm not even into 3D, actually... I've been offered it. I just don't want to.

I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.

Science fiction is not quirky anymore; we live in a futuristic world now.

Within our lifetimes, we will be able to push out enough computational power to simulate reality.

All the major sports have video reviews, and for some reason, the Premier League, which is watched all around the world, is still in the dark ages.

We have artificial intelligence, virtual reality, augmented reality, 3D-printing, robotics and nanotechnology that have changed the face of modern medicine. It is essential for Indian doctors to familiarise themselves with the latest developments to be able to control technology and not the other way around.
