As virtual reality booms, we must learn how to use virtual reality to enhance education, physical fitness, and more while avoiding the negative potential this technology presents. Abel James examines avoiding addiction to disturbing content through VR’s unprecedented immersion versus championing accessibility revolutions in education and skill-building.

Learn:

• VR/AR concentration risks unmooring from reality
• How current content prioritizes commerce over humanity
• Leaders must guide youth on pitfalls amidst the potential potential
• With care, VR connects us to the unattainable
• It trains reflexes impossible otherwise
• Stay rooted while exploring imaginary worlds

Abel calls us to collective responsibility in steering VR’s trajectory toward expanding human imagination while avoiding bleak desensitization. This episode focuses on the brightness over shadows.
