Japan Opens Up Its First Virtual Reality Store In Odaiba To Save Kitty From Falling
Physically restricted but virtually free
Whether imposed by force of law or encouraged through strong suggestion, people around the world are practicing self-isolation during the coronavirus pandemic. Shopping in department stores, visiting museums, traveling, attending events, going to nightclubs, hanging out with friends, all activities which were taken for granted pre-pandemic are now off-limits. Unless you have a VR headset, that is.
Of course, VR can't replace the real thing, but the pandemic is providing an opportunity for people to discover ways in which they can practice physical distancing while bridging social distance, and VR offers a means to do so.
The popular VR social application VRChat has seen a noticeable increase in activity, showing a 41% gain in average monthly users between February and today.
And then there are the games. The options for gamers in the VR space continue to expand with more exciting titles coming out and VR options being added to existing ones.
