Top 5 Virtual Reality (VR) Experiences to Try in 2024

Modern Virtual Reality has just gone to the next level and can offer possibly the most convincing and realistic experiences. Based on the available data, we can predict that by 2024, VR will be even more popular and accessible with many more experiences to try. Here are five of the must-experience VR applications of the coming years.

Real-Life Social Interactions from the Metaverse

The future concrete developments of metaverse platforms like Meta Horizon Worlds in the following years will be significantly enhanced to facilitate realistic face-to-face social interactions in the shared metaverse space. By employing the latest motion capture and facial rigging solutions, your avatar will mimic your actual appearance, gestures, and manner of speaking.

This will finally result in social interactions in VR that would seem as real as those in a traditional physical environment. This will enable you to socialize, hang out with friends and family, make new friends, play games and attend functions in stunning virtual reality surroundings that are as real as the actual world.

Virtual Office through VR Telepresence Robots 

Think about being able to come to work each morning and with the help of a headset and a few buttons, take a virtual vacation to a beach, a museum, a concert hall in another country. This is achievable with VR telepresence robots such as Ohmni and Double Robotics.

These wheel-base robots include a camera, a display, a microphone and a speaker – making it possible for a VR headset wearer to remotely control the robot’s motion and perspective from the comfort of his/her living room. The growth in WiFi connection and video quality means that when you have one of these robots you can be as good as being in the physical sense. In future, renting of the VR telepresence robot for travel is going to be the new normal in the society.

Premium Cinematic Experiences  

Hollywood studios are also not remaining idle and are currently releasing some of the movies with optimization for the VR headsets. In the course of the next two years, the quality and range of what is offered by cinematic VR should significantly increase. Employing such technologies as 3D 360-degree videos, haptic feedback vests, and omni-directional treadmills, you will be able to witness the great movies and even become a protagonist.

High-end systems for home theatre will support VR for the best home theatre experience without having to go to the movie theaters. There will also be more frequently used movies based on interactive storytelling with branching storyline based on viewer input.

Hyperrealistic Educational Experiences

The traditional method of learning in a classroom setting will be revolutionized with the use of AR/VR for learning that immerses students into a real-life, but simulated world. Currently, apps such as Google Expeditions are already in a position to offer rudimentary virtual field trips, though future platforms will be much more sophisticated.

Graphically detailed and accurate surroundings and role plays will educate history at the very battle grounds or science inside a person’s body. Education layers will blend into the real world and smart glasses will be a means of delivering such layers. Students and teachers will conduct classes in different facilities through merged virtual reality environments. These different resources will be designed in a way that they will be responsive to the students’ needs and will help to make learning to be experiential, effective and exciting.

Virtual Tourism and Virtual Tours in an Advanced Virtual Virtual Theme Park Rides and Entertainment

Most of the VR rollercoasters are already present in many of the theme parks in their most primitive form yet, from 2024, the first highly integrated VR theme parks will be established. Realistic body immersion technologies such as haptic vests, motion platforms, and temperature/scent systems will be taken to a whole new level of realism.

Two people will be able to ride together; fighting dragons or even rafting through some rough water as a group. New theme park areas of VR reality may emerge as virtual reality extended park areas with intensively created fairy tale reality, space contact or dimensional door ways to other parks for enthusiastic park guests in search of the highest international entertainment levels.

The Future is Virtual 

These are just some of the future entertainment, learning, traveling and socializing virtual reality experiences that are possible with VR technology in the next 2-3 years. Everyone should be aware that VR is going to become more affordable and realistic in the near future.

When one imagines a world that is embedded with physical and virtual elements that are able to co-create new forms of life, work and leisure, the possibilities are endless. This is the future that awaits – and the best way to experience it is through the very latest developments in immersive VR technology that opens up a kaleidoscope of incredible possibilities.
