What can Virtual Reality do? And do we need it? Daniel Sproll has been at the forefront of the latest virtual reality renaissance for the past seven years. First, as a researcher studying human navigational behavior in VR, then as a UX designer laying the groundwork in early VR interaction design, and now as co-founder of realities.io, where he is exploring what we can create when we bring the real world into the virtual one using 3D scanning technology. His goal is not to create fantastic worlds with VR but to show us the real world: Places that no longer exist, those to which access is denied or which can only be visited at the risk of one's life. In his talk, he gives insights into the development of VR, the possibilities, innovations, how VR stands out from other digital developments and how VR can be part of a better tomorrow.
