newatlas.com: If you've ever tried virtual reality, chances are you get what the fuss is all about: There's something "magical" about strapping on a pair of goggles and feeling like you're someplace else. Like any new technology, though, VR has plenty of room for improvement – like these three things we hope to see change in the next few years.

Most of these improvements don’t seem VR specific to me. Basically all technology constantly needs to get smaller, simpler, more portable, and higher quality for the price. The only thing mentioned in the article (and to be fair it does feel like the main point of the article) is the motion sickness problem. That is an interesting problem.
Teleporting does seem like a reasonably good solution, but it only works with certain storylines and doesn’t necessarily fit with every world. Being able to walk around would be better, but doing that while someone is stationary will make them motion sick. You could theoretically have the person actually walk around, but that really doesn’t seem safe. Even putting them on a treadmill or something similar creates the risk of a person moving around while paying no attention to (and not being able to see) their actual surroundings. Honestly, I think something along the lines of the wristband discussed in this article that prevents motion sickness is going to be the best option, and maybe will eventually be built into the device itself.
VR technology has certainly made a bold appearance in the tech world. Everyone from little kids to adults have had the opportunity to experience the thrill of “Virtual Reality”. Sadly I have only used my baby brothers with a simulation of a desert, but still very cool. One thing that I might add to this list is the dizziness that can occur during the use. I would get this weird feeling that would almost make me want to pass out as I was using it, but it was probably related to the fact that it was 25 dollars from toys r us. Although I think this technology has a lot of room to grow I am curious to see what continues to unfold. All of the elements listed in this article are great areas that could be improved in this technology. As it continues to develop, I predict that it will become more popular and integrated into our everyday live. This is very exciting because I can see a potential application in almost every field around the world. It’s not every day you see something like this!
