Why the World Is Still Not Built for Women | Virginia Santy | TED
Design consultant Virginia Santy set out to create an office space built specifically for women, flipping the script on the subtle (and not-so-subtle) ways that workplaces and cities still fail them. The results were striking: greater productivity, deeper collaboration and an environment where women felt genuinely valued, leading her to ask a simple question: What…

VR travel will be a thing where people will rent drones or robots to roam in far places in real-time instead of traveling there
Imagine visiting Mt Everest Alps islands coral reefs pyramids Eiffel tower etc
Paradox484
March 26, 2023 at 12:24 pm
That seems a tad inefficient. What functional difference is there between that and a vr tour of Mt. Everest with simulated environment that emulates real time conditions? Why fly a drone all the way up there? Not to mention the headache of having a bunch of drones fighting for space in tourist attractions across the world.

And that’s just with Google glass. I can imagine an in person setting being more useful since it would allow the therapist to have better gear. Fear of driving with assetto Corsa and a driving sim gear would probably feel more realistic than watching a video with low poly graphics. However, not everyone has access to in person help, or the high end gear. So the way it’s set-up right now with a VR app and a zoom call works wonders

I used SecondLife to help with my transition over a decade ago. VR works. I no longer use it though, as I became desensitized to it. Eventually you have to step out your door.
