Some of the virtual reality stuff coming out now is fascinating. You can even take a virtual road trip or visit popular landmarks throughout the world without leaving your house by using Google Street View. Companies like Oculus improve the experience by making it more immersive. One can wonder what the future will bring as far as online virtual reality.
