- Yoshida Shuhei talked to Fortune about VR where he said the following:
Fortune: We’ve seen a lot of Hollywood and other 360-degree video content in the works for VR. What role do you feel nongaming virtual reality will play in the PlayStation VR ecosystem?
YOSP: It’s going to be very important. I’m a huge fan of the 360-degree videos and experiences that those entertainment companies and new startups are producing. They clearly understand the impact and the power of this new medium. People feel like they are in these experiences at the places that the video was shot instead of watching it remotely from within their console at home.
The power of these mediums can be communicated in nongaming form. And actually in many cases it’s better to have these experiences, rather than just games, so that the mass audience will start to notice that, “Wow, this is something that I should be checking out. This is way more than the new form of gaming.”
VR could be the new form of learning, or knowing, or understanding the world better. And hopefully VR will improve some people’s health as well. So a lot of people will start to see this tech show up, whether they are looking for it or not. These nongaming applications will play a huge role to help promote all new VR systems.
