Virtual reality or VR has received a warm welcome to many gamers, in fact, despite being just released, it has already made a huge turning point. HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, and Sony PlayStation VR, to name some, has changed the way about how games are seen and played. And now, as the new year has finally arrived, the VR headsets are going to an unexpected place.

Basically, VR brings a user to a place unknown or to another world that only exists in imagination. However, Mark Zuckerberg's reminder about "putting people first" has initiated about using VRs to visit a friend and attend the meetings in virtual settings. Having three virtual headsets leading the gaming industry nowadays, the world is prepared to endless possibilities.

Entrepreneur had a chance to talk with Jenna Seiden, the head of content acquisition and partnerships for HTC Vive, about the latest trend and about the things to expect for VRs. She shared how VR will be applied in the most unexpected places. Supposedly, this tech is designed for gaming, however, it seems like it will also be used for training simulations such as underwater drilling and firefighting.

Some have also seen interest in HTC Vive to be used in academic and cultural institutions. The company has also launched exhibits in various museums while associating with Nobel to deliver VR experiences to their museums sometime in 2017.

Meanwhile, Telegraph shared how BAE system has suggested compressing the VR's entire display onto a pair of contact lenses. The company assumes that in 20 years, the system can be squeezed into a smaller device. BAE also believes that the latest tech can be applied in real-life battles or save lives in emergency situations.

Such speculations may sound absurd and weird for now but obviously, these are not impossible. VR, in the first place, are thought of something unlikely but now, it has brought so many possibilities.
