VR - ANOTHER TREND OR THE FUTURE OF CINEMA

While the expert panel took nearly two hours, I whisked out only curious facts about the furute. Firstly, VR has a future doue to the porn business developing it for its purposes. I know from other sources that even the existence of the Internet is maintained by the adult movie entertainment so this doesn't surprise me. Apart from that Facebook is going to enable VR showing your life to others. As for technology, which, in my opinion, currently resembles diving: the picture is never as clear as in the cinema, the equipment is heavy  and makes nose breathing difficult, it's bound to improve too: Oculus has developed better goggles which cost nearly 2000 Polish zlotys and better ones still, costing over 3000 $ have come into existence. So far only and as much as the US Army and NASA have purchased a 5-year supply.

The 5-minute VR film based on Kafka's "Metamorphosis", available free of charge in Warsaw Goethe Institute till the end of November is so-so. The gear on your head combined with the mirror reflection of a giant cockroach gives a funny feeling but only one of numerous drawers and neither of the doors or window can be opened.
