Valve president Gabe Newell: ‘We’re way closer to The Matrix than people realize’

Think we’re far off from The Matrix? Gabe Newell says you should think again.

In a rare interview with IGN ahead of next week’s release of Half-Life: Alyx, Newell reasoned that more advanced forms of VR might not be too far out. “We’re way closer to The Matrix than people realize,” he stated. “It’s not going to be ‘The Matrix’, The Matrix is a movie and it misses all the interesting technical subtleties and just how weird the post-brain-computer interface world is going to be. But it’s going to have a huge impact on the kinds of experiences that we can create for people.”

Why There May Be A Virtual Reality Exodus

Hi all! I hope you’re doing well and staying healthy! As a hobby, I have begun a futurist YouTube channel. I have just uploaded a video on why I personally believe that there may be an exodus to virtual reality in the future. Please take a look at it and subscribe and like it if you enjoyed the video!

Virtual reality is oftentimes the ultimate promise of science-fiction. Leaving behind the boring real-world for an exciting world that operates outside the bounds of reality is something that is promised to us by sci-fi. But does that mean that a large number of people would be willing to do that forever? Here’s why I believe they would.

Brain-Computer Interface Technology: Helping Or Hacking?

Brain Computer Interface (BCI)

Brain-computer interface (BCI) is a technology that agree to communicate between a human-brain with an external technology. The term can be referred to an interface that takes signals from the brain to an external piece of hardware that sends signals to the brain. There are different brain-computer interface technologies developed, through different methods and for diversified purposes, including in virtual reality technology.

Benefits of Brain Computer Interface

Despite BCI being in its initial stage of development, it is expected to provide several benefits to its users in various fields. Some of the major benefits of BCI are as follows:

Do you àgree?

In Peter Diamandis and Steven Kotler’s new book, The Future Is Faster Than You Think, the futurist and science writer talk about converge and how a host of technologies, including VR, quantum computing, and A.I., are speeding up development of flying cars and changing new and old industries.

“Virtual Reality” Reunites with Deceased Daughter

I am amazed by just how far technology has come!

An image of her daughter was created with ‘virtual reality’ for a mother who lost her daughter in 2016 in South Korea. The moment the mother met her daughter left those in the studio in tears.

In 2016, the 7-year-old daughter of a woman named Jang Ji-sung, Nayeon, died after an illness.

A firm that does’ Virtual Reality ‘Projects has created an image of the girl who died, as a result of an 8-month study. The firm, which also created a virtual reality of a park where the mother and daughter had gone before, invited the family into the studio. The mother, who arrived at the studio, was given a virtual reality goggle, while her husband and another daughter, along with the technical team, watched the process in the audience section.
