Brendan Iribe Quotes

Augmented reality will take some time to get right, but I do think that it's profound.

You put on this set of goggles, and within seconds, your brain is convinced you're now in a different, virtual environment. You're somewhere else, and that somewhere else may be a video game, it may be in a real-time movie, a museum exhibit, or a medical surgical training app.

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

What the computer in virtual reality enables us to do is to recalibrate ourselves so that we can start seeing those pieces of information that are invisible to us but have become important for us to understand.

I've seen descriptions of advanced TV systems in which a simulation of reality is computer-controlled; the TV viewer of the future will wear a special helmet. You'll no longer be an external spectator to fiction created by others, but an active participant in your own fantasies/dramas.

The next evolutionary step is into the screen.

If everything moves along and there are no major catastrophes we're basically headed towards holograms.

Technologists and futurists call the mashup of digital info and physical space 'blended reality.'

Virtual reality is inevitably going to become mainstream - it's only a question of how good it needs to be before the mainstream is willing to use it.

I'm surprised that VR has come about so quickly. It's lucky I just happened to write a book imagining virtual reality right on the cusp of it actually happening.

Once you have perfect virtual reality, what else are you supposed to perfect?

If you have perfect virtual reality eventually, where you're be able to simulate everything that a human can experience or imagine experiencing, it's hard to imagine where you go from there.

Augmented reality will change the world more than a lot of other technologies. Traveling around to meet people will be much less important when you can stand in a room and chat with a virtual representation of a person that's so close to reality - it'll be a whole new level.

With Magic Leap, your brain doesn't distinguish what's real and what's Magic Leap. Because as far as your brain's concerned, it is real.

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

We're trending towards the holodeck. Eventually we'll have a system that's indistinguishable from reality.

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

I believe AR is going to be the primary platform of the future for both work and entertainment.

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

I honestly believe that the next big leap in immersive technology will be very much like Brainstorm.

I started looking at small companies that were running a sort of virtual reality cottage industry: I had imagined that I would just put on a helmet and be somewhere else - that's your dream of what it's going to be.

Maybe a day will come when we may have to just put on a pair of glasses and see sports events.

The purpose of technology is not to confuse the brain but to serve the body.

When I heard about the Microsoft Kinect, though, I felt an urgency rising in me. A game you played without touching any machinery? A chance to wave your hands around, Minority-Report style, and move things around on a screen? This sounded like almost too much fun, with gadget-y pizzazz that sounded astonishing.

We're moving into an era when things are dematerialised and much more holographic. Floating above the physical world and the geographic map, there's another landscape that's constantly changing - something like a cloud - of communication, information, exchange and commerce.
