Ep3: Social VR + Dating Law Zero Podcast
-
- Technology
Finding a suitable match online is already hard, but will VR save the day or make things even more complex? Welcome to Law Zero: a podcast about the implications (intended or otherwise) of emerging technology.
After eight revisions, three different editing programs, and more technical difficulties than you could shake a stick at, we’ve finally made it to this week’s episode. We’re focusing on the more flirty, social side of VR: dating. The very stylish headset is irresistable, we know. This episode will cover the more PG aspects of going steady. We talk about everything from VR moving from silo to social, how more dragons could really break you out of that basic dinner/movie date combo, a #throwback to some UX not seen since MP3 players, several business ideas (like VR speed dating), and Carole generally roasting herself.
We can also now be found on iTunes! https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id1351138957
