The future is virtually here

Immersion in another world will allow people to enjoy a universe of possibility, Li Yingxue reports.

For Ted Schilowitz there is no looking back. The past is another country and the only borders he is worried about are those of the imagination. The futurist at Paramount Studios starts every day in the realms of virtual reality. No passports required.

Schilowitz, from the United States, sees VR as the ability to immerse people into a new world where even smartphones will eventually be replaced.
