2016 is touted as the year of VR and the ongoing Mobile World Congress in Barcelona is the first of many such occasions this year to witness the power of virtual reality. Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who made an unscheduled appearance at one of the events shared an interesting picture on his social media page which proves exactly that.
The photograph taken at Samsung's 'Galaxy Unpacked' event shows Zuckerberg walking towards the stage as the audience on his left is engrossed in their respective 'virtual' world through individual VR headsets.
A little unnerving, this picture - which has garnered over a whopping 443,227 likes- says a lot about the future of virtual reality in the real world; something that has the potential to open many a new channels of communication and contribute to the fields of gaming, medicine, architecture and astronomy among others, but at the same time also hints at a more individual consumption of media.
The medium of content delivery is fast evolving from big-screens for common consumption to pocketable screens for individual consumption and to the hottest new virtual, more personal VR devices. While the future is here, ironically, not everyone is looking at it the same way.
