I believe that Virtual and Augmented Reality technologies coupled with AI will profoundly disrupt the way in which humans learn, play, work and socialize. With modern consumer XR hardware, our consciousness can experience 'presence' within shared digital realities, free from the physical restraints and proximity requirements of the real world, in which any experience becomes possible. The implications for shared experiences via extended realities will impact nearly every facet of our lives. As an early adopter of modern Virtual Reality, seasoned with a 20 year career in behavioral science, I became active in the VR developer community to prepare for the impact immersive technologies will have on society. Ranked by Onalytica as a Top 100 influencer in both AR and VR, I keep a close pulse on the social, educational, artistic and entertainment spaces of the VR, AR, XR movement. In my opinion, every social anthropologist should be grabbing a front row seat to watch how these technologies will change the way we teach, learn and communicate.
