SAN FRANCISCO (KRON) — TechCrunch Disrupt, one the biggest annual tech shows, is in San Francisco this week.
It brings together hundreds of technology companies and startups, with thousands of developers, investors, venture capitalists and the media to showcase what is hot in the tech world.
Everywhere you look at this tech show, people had on virtual reality headsets. There was a massive presence of virtual reality there.
There are now over 600 startups focusing on virtual reality.
These startups working on bringing virtual reality into everything — fashion, architecture, home repair, and even shopping. Imagine this — you can see what a couch would look like in your living room before you buy it.
Want to get some exercise? There are yoga virtual reality apps in the works.
Virtual reality toys could be big. At the show, one man was controlling a teddy bear. His head and arm movements are mimicked by the bear. What the bear sees, he sees.
This can work remotely, so you can interact with people anywhere in the world.
The health care industry is getting into virtual reality too. DeepStream is a virtual reality experience that can trick your brain into feeling less pain.
