Excerpts: “I suspect that television and film aren’t going to go away. New media doesn’t always replace what came before it–we still listen to radio and we still go to the theater, after all. But the experience of VR is so compelling that it’s hard to imagine it won’t become our go-to medium. Right now it’s an emerging art form, a new frontier, a train off in the distance…but it’s coming closer. And when it arrives, we’re going to look at flat-screen media in the same way we look at black-and-white silent movies” (p. 186).

“While virtual reality has been getting most of the attention, augmented reality may turn out to be far more commonplace and a much bigger market” (p. 246).
