Paul Virilio Quotes

Virtual Reality is going to be an important technology. I am pretty confident about this.

In virtual reality, we're placing the viewer inside a moment or a story... made possible by sound and visual technology that's actually tricking the brain into believing it's somewhere else.

There was a very consistent creation of a virtual reality, and eventually it collided with our old-fashioned, ordinary reality.

I always enjoyed going into the holodeck.

New technologies, however remarkable they might seem, are fundamentally just tools made by people for people.

I don't think that VR is going to lead to humanity being enslaved in the matrix or letting the world crumble around us. I think it's going to end up being a great technology that brings closer people together, that allows for better communication, that reduces a lot of environmental waste that we're currently doing in the real world.

One day the virtual world might win over the real world.

I don't believe in simulationism, I believe that the word is already old-fashioned. As I see it, new technologies are substituting a virtual reality for an actual reality. And this is more than a phase: it's a definite change.

It's too late by the way, with virtual reality. You can't put the genie back into the bottle.

We are now able to create virtual realities on computers. Are we all living in one created by someone in the future?

I believe that Virtual Reality will hit it big time. I know that some of my colleagues disagree, but I believe in it.

He found it both sad and fascinating that only through an artificial universe of video images could she establish contact with the real world.

We are entering a world where there won't be one but two realities, just like we have two eyes or hear bass and treble tones, just like we now have stereoscopy and stereophony: there will be two realities: the actual, and the virtual. Thus there is no simulation, but substitution. Reality has become symmetrical. The splitting of reality in two parts is a considerable event which goes far beyond simulation.

No one in Silicon Valley loves virtual reality or believes in its future as much as Clay Bavor.

The Internet is getting so big, and people are inventing so many amazing things and new experiences. I never thought 'Coco' would have a VR game, and it was very cool to experience. I remember throwing a paper airplane even though there wasn't actually anything in my hand.

The future of screens isn't about the iPad. It's much, much bigger.

Every application designed for 2D interfaces will be obsoleted by AR.

Much of the excitement about virtual reality has come from the gaming community.

Virtual reality's been around for 40 years. People have been talking about storytelling in that world for all these years, and there have been experiments around of people trying to do that, and always excited about it.

Games already pretty much have reached the point of photo-realism. Working on more intense graphics is not the only path we can take anymore. Simply relying on the sheer horsepower of the machine will not bring the industry a bright future.

I think there is a lot of technology that is finding its way into our storytelling - it's pretty unavoidable.

Virtual reality, all the A.I. work we do, all the robotics work we do - we're as close to realizing science fiction as it gets.

The coming changes in technology will be as profound as the creation of the Internet.

The early entrants into the world of A.R., as with its cousin virtual reality, were disappointing: the phones were too weak, the networks were too slow, and the applications were too nerdy. But now the technological pieces are in place, and a whole generation - much of which is on Snapchat - has come to consider the camera almost a third arm.

Who knows what form storytelling will take in the future?
