Virtual Empathy
from We Have Concerns Hosted by Jeff Cannata/Anthony Carboni
A new article suggests that the Oculus VR headset may be the first step to allowing people to truly experience what it is like to live a different kind of life. This could allow designers to create "empathy engines" whereby users may come to feel emotion for their fellow man in a virtual space. Anthony and Jeff think this is a great idea, especially if causes douchey diners to tip their wait staff.
