Top Virtual Reality Quotes

Virtual Reality Quotes By Joan Lowery Nixon

Virtual reality is a self-created form of chosen reality. Therefore it exists. — Joan Lowery Nixon

Virtual Reality Quotes By Sudipto Ghosh

Artificial Intelligence is not a Man versus Machine saga; it's in fact, Man with Machine synergy. — Sudipto Ghosh

Virtual Reality Quotes By Sheldon S. Wolin

Almost every product promises to change your life: it will make you more beautiful, cleaner, more sexually alluring, and more successful. Born again, as it were. The messages contain promises about the future, unfailingly optimistic, exaggerating, miracle-promising - the same ideology that invites corporate executives to exaggerate profits and conceal losses, but always with a sunny face. The virtual reality of the advertiser and the "good news" of the evangelist complement each other, a match made in heaven. — Sheldon S. Wolin

Virtual Reality Quotes By Michio Kaku

Remember the movie 'The Matrix,' where virtual information popped up to help inform physical day-to-day reality? Such things won't always be the stuff of Hollywood. If the Internet is accessible via contact lenses, biographies will appear next to the faces of the people we talk to, and we will see subtitles if they speak a foreign language. — Michio Kaku

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ken MacLeod

Had always believed an immersive virtual reality afterlife was possible in principle. Maybe — Ken MacLeod

Virtual Reality Quotes By Donal Ryan

I kind of thought actually that Trevor was gone completely mental when he called up here a few weeks ago. Like, why would he not text or email or Facebook? What's with all the reality, I thought. Does he not know he's a million times cooler in virtual form? — Donal Ryan

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

Today, the best way to communicate with someone is still face-to-face. Virtual reality has the potential to change that, to make it where VR communication is as good or better than face-to-face communications, because not only do you get all the same human cues as real-world communication, you basically suspend the laws of physics, you can do whatever you want, you can be wherever you want. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By Clyde DeSouza

At times we'll want to escape our
polluted reality...
not augment it with digital
Debris — Clyde DeSouza

Virtual Reality Quotes By Chris Milk

It connects humans to other humans in a profound way that I've never seen before in any other form of media. And it can change people's perception of each other. And that's how I think virtual reality has the potential to actually change the world. — Chris Milk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brandon Sanderson

A person needed to experience real danger or they would never find joy in excelling. There had to be a risk of failure, the chance to die. — Brandon Sanderson

Virtual Reality Quotes By Peter Greenaway

We don't need virtual reality, we need virtual unreality. — Peter Greenaway

Virtual Reality Quotes By Koji Suzuki

Reality and the virtual space reflect each other. They correspond to each other. — Koji Suzuki

Virtual Reality Quotes By Elizabeth Langston

Why did things have to get so backwards in our house? Since she couldn't be the adult, I knew that it had to be me. But that didn't stop me from hating it--from wishing it was just over. I'd give anything to be a kid again and not to be the responsible one in the house. It was like I was trapped in a horrible virtual-reality game, except there was no way for me to quit. — Elizabeth Langston

Virtual Reality Quotes By Cintra Wilson

Sarah Palin and her virtual burqa have me and my friends retching into our handbags. She's such a power-mad, backwater beauty-pageant casualty, it's easy to write her off and make fun of her. But in reality I feel as horrified as a ghetto Jew watching the rise of National Socialism. — Cintra Wilson

Virtual Reality Quotes By Russell Hoban

We make fiction because we are fiction ... It lived us into being and it lives us still. — Russell Hoban

Virtual Reality Quotes By Iain M. Banks

It could always all be unreal - how could you ever tell otherwise? You took it on trust, in part because what would be the point of doing anything else? When the fake behaved exactly like the real, why treat it as anything different? You gave it the benefit of the doubt, until something proved otherwise. — Iain M. Banks

Virtual Reality Quotes By Chris Milk

Virtual reality is the 'ultimate empathy machine.' These experiences are more than documentaries. They're opportunities to walk a mile in someone else's shoes. — Chris Milk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Hugh Brody

The disorders that psychology associates with the dissonance between what parents say to children and what children know to be reality - from deep insecurities to chronic anxiety to depression - are not to be found among the hunter-gatherers I have known. This is not to claim that they are people who know nothing of mental illness. Rather, it is to look at the absence of a particular kind of illness, one that in my own society is somewhere between common and the norm. The apparent sturdiness of the hunter-gatherer personality, the virtual universality of self-confidence and equanimity, the absence of anxiety disorders and most depressive illnesses - these may well be the benefits of using words to tell the truth. — Hugh Brody

Virtual Reality Quotes By Mark Zuckerberg

If we're trying to build a world-class News Feed and a world-class messaging product and a world-class search product and a world-class ad system, and invent virtual reality and build drones, I can't write every line of code. I can't write any lines of code. — Mark Zuckerberg

Virtual Reality Quotes By Mark Zuckerberg

Virtual Reality is going to be an important technology. I am pretty confident about this. — Mark Zuckerberg

Virtual Reality Quotes By Andrew Plotkin

It's not virtual reality until you can be tortured to death in it. — Andrew Plotkin

Virtual Reality Quotes By Larry Ellison

Game-playing is more fun when it's virtual because you're more successful ... in reality, only one person gets to be LeBron. — Larry Ellison

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ed Begley Jr.

This is a deeply spiritual issue ... Do we want to spend more time trying to care for our fellow man or do we want to just pursue more virtual reality? That's the issue before us.. and it's being played out in the world of the environment. — Ed Begley Jr.

Virtual Reality Quotes By M.R. Mathias

We love books because they are the greatest escape. That is because our own minds eye is the purest form of virtual reality. — M.R. Mathias

Virtual Reality Quotes By Mark Zuckerberg

Virtual Reality is really a new communication platform. By feeling truly present, you can share unbounded spaces and experiences with the people in your life. Imagine sharing not just moments with your friends online, but entire experiences and adventures. — Mark Zuckerberg

Virtual Reality Quotes By Thomas Dolby

At the same time, one of the things I noticed was that the moment there was any kind of audio attached to virtual reality, it really improved the experience, even though the audio didn't feel like a sound engineer or composer had been anywhere near it. — Thomas Dolby

Virtual Reality Quotes By Chris Milk

There's three things that you need for virtual reality to work. You need the hardware that's affordable and doesn't make people sick, you need an audience that is willing to pay for it, and you need the content. — Chris Milk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Stevan V. Nikolic

She could be anybody and she could pretend to be whomever she wants to be. With social media and internet communications, everything is virtual. Social media is full of fake and sick people deceiving each other and fantasizing to be something they are not. — Stevan V. Nikolic

Virtual Reality Quotes By Chris Milk

Virtual reality is a technology that could actually allow you to connect on a real human level, soul-to-soul, regardless of where you are in the world. — Chris Milk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Michael Dell

The world got enamored with smartphones and tablets, but what's interesting is those devices don't do everything that needs to be done. Three-D printing, virtual-reality computing, robotics are all controlled by PCs. — Michael Dell

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ursula K. Le Guin

As the virtual world of electronic communication becomes the world many of us inhabit all the time, in turning to imaginative literature we may not be seeking mere reassurance nor be impelled by mere nostalgia. To enter with heart and mind into the world of the imagination may be to head deliberately and directly toward, or back toward, engagement with the real world. In one of T. S. Eliot's poems a bird sings, "Mankind cannot bear very much reality." I've always thought that bird was mistaken, or was talking only about some people. I find it amazing how much of the real world most of us can endure. Not only endure, but need, desire, crave. Reality is life. Where we suffocate is in the half-life of unreality, untruth, imitation, fakery, the almost-true that is not true. To be human is to live both within and beyond the narrow band of what-happens-now, in the vast regions of the past and the possible, the known and the imagined: our real world, our true Now. — Ursula K. Le Guin

Virtual Reality Quotes By Greg Fitzsimmons

We are now able to create virtual realities on computers. Are we all living in one created by someone in the future? — Greg Fitzsimmons

Virtual Reality Quotes By Mariko Mori

I am making an Enlightenment Capsule for the audience to meditate inside - virtual reality in which people can experience ancient ideas from the East ... But I'm not interested in using ancient things; rather I want to connect [audiences] with contemporary life through the technology we have now. — Mariko Mori

Virtual Reality Quotes By John Lamb Lash

The suppression of ecstasy and condemnation of pleasure by patriarchal religion have left us in a deep, festering morass. The pleasures people seek in modern times are superficial, venal, and corrupt. This is deeply unfortunate, for it justifies the patriarchal condemnation of pleasure that rotted out our hedonistic capacities in the first place! Narcissism is rampant, having reached a truly global scale. It now appears to have entered the terminal phase known as "cocooning," the ultimate state of isolation. Dissociation from the natural world verges on complete disembodiment, represented in Archontic ploys such as "transhumanism," cloning, virtual reality, and the uploading of human consciousness into cyberspace. The computer looks due to replace the cross as the primary image of salvation. It is already the altar where millions worship daily. If the technocrats prevail, artificial intelligence and artificial life will soon overrule the natural order of the planet. — John Lamb Lash

Virtual Reality Quotes By Mphezulu Xetho Dainamyk

Fear is a beautiful mirror reflecting the reality of great things with false illussions. After all, images in the mirror ain't real at all, they're just virtual. So, keep ballin' without checkin mirrors coz u may see an image that proves it's hard
ya, u never know it's hard till u've done it!!! — Mphezulu Xetho Dainamyk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Clyde DeSouza

Emotions - Happiness, anger, jealousy ... is the mind experiencing "presence" in our holographic existence. — Clyde DeSouza

Virtual Reality Quotes By Reki Kawahara

If I can only be my true self in the virtual world ... then what was the point of coming back to reality after all? — Reki Kawahara

Virtual Reality Quotes By Kathy Krajco

A false image is, of course, a work of art, an idol. And a lie. A narcissist identifies with this image, not his true inner self. So, all he cares about is his image, not what kind of person he really is. Indeed, the latter has no real existence in his world.

In identifying with his image, he's identifying with an ephemeral figment that has but virtual reality, a purely immanent existence as a reflection in the attention shone on him by others. No attention, no image. No image, no self! — Kathy Krajco

Virtual Reality Quotes By Federico Fellini

Objects and their functions no longer had any significance. All I perceived was perception itself, the hell of forms and figures devoid of human emotion and detached from the reality of my unreal environment. I was an instrument in a virtual world that constantly renewed its own meaningless image in a living world that was itself perceived outside of nature. And since the appearance of things was no longer definitive but limitless, this paradisiacal awareness freed me from the reality external to myself. The fire and the rose, as it were, became one. — Federico Fellini

Virtual Reality Quotes By J.P. Carver

It had been bound to happen. If anything, technology created a space for the strange and the afraid. Some would argue that the environment had created those people, but I doubted that. Those who flocked to technology as a place to hide and to fit in would have found something else, but instead they found another life. — J.P. Carver

Virtual Reality Quotes By Martin Rees

Crucial to science education is hands-on involvement: showing, not just telling; real experiments and field trips and not just 'virtual reality.' — Martin Rees

Virtual Reality Quotes By Bernie Sanders

What you don't see on television is people dying today because they can't get to a doctor and they can't afford prescription drugs. That's why they are also dying. They are dying in Iraq because they are poor and they have gone into the military because they can't afford to go to college. They're dying because they're living in communities where asthma rates are extremely high because the air is filthy. The suffering of the poor and working class people is a virtual nonissue for the media. But that is the reality. — Bernie Sanders

Virtual Reality Quotes By Alastair Reynolds

How did you . . . pass the time?' Sunday asked. 'You couldn't just ching out of it, could you?'

'We had a different form of chinging,' Eunice said. 'An earlier type of virtual-reality technology, much more robust and completely unaffected by time lag. You may have heard of it. We called it "reading". — Alastair Reynolds

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

When I saw how real virtual reality can be, and that we can replace human vision with virtual vision, this can be the ultimate platform. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By James Cameron

If you want to move through a virtual reality it's called a video game, it's been around forever. — James Cameron

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

I think a lot of people have an idea of virtual reality from science fiction, books and movies that have been out over the last couple of decades. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

If you have perfect virtual reality eventually, where you're be able to simulate everything that a human can experience or imagine experiencing, it's hard to imagine where you go from there. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

If you're having a very high-adrenaline, high-movement experience in virtual reality and then all of a sudden you're back in your office, that disconnect is pretty notable. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By Meg Jay

became more urgent and more defined. A timeline may not be a virtual reality chamber, but it can help our brains see time for what it really is: limited. — Meg Jay

Virtual Reality Quotes By Guillaume Faye

The Internet sites (Facebook, Meetic, and thousands of other sites) are based on a virtual and simulated second-hand sex through a screen interface. The first encounter is not natural; it occurs in solitude, in front of a machine interface, and everything else flows from there. Dialogue in front of the screen falsifies and misguides the rest of the relationship, because it suppresses the direct emotion of the first meeting and establishes the relationship on lies, even if these are involuntary. The accident of the first meeting - in a bar, at a party, an office, a friend's house - is replaced by calculated effort in front of a cold screen. Imagination supplants reality. Romanticism or desire are transmitted in computer files. Psychologically, a contact receives a certain bias if it originates from a computer search. If you later happen to meet the person, you understand quickly that she does not correspond to the electronic persona with which one chatted. — Guillaume Faye

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ramez Naam

Neural implants could accomplish things no external interface could: Virtual and augmented reality with all five senses; augmentation of human memory, attention, and learning speed; even multi-sense telepathy - sharing what we see, hear, touch, and even perhaps what we think and feel with others. — Ramez Naam

Virtual Reality Quotes By Peter Thiel

One of my friends started a company in 1997, seven years before Facebook, called SocialNet. And they had all these ideas, and you could be, like, a cat, and I'd be a dog on the Internet, and we'd have this virtual reality, and we would just not be ourselves. That didn't work because reality always works better than any fake version of it. — Peter Thiel

Virtual Reality Quotes By Shane Carruth

Everybody's saying we've got to go 3D or virtual reality or choose your own adventure. But there are other ways forward. I don't think we're done with film by a long shot. — Shane Carruth

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

Display companies, many of them that we've spoken to, are really excited about virtual reality because they're actually running out of innovation opportunities in other markets. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

In the past, before phones and the Internet, all communication was face-to-face. Now, most of it is digital, via emails and messaging services. If people were to start using virtual reality, it would almost come full circle. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By John Perry Barlow

I have a feeling Virtual Reality will further expose the conceit that 'reality' is a fact. It will provide another reminder of the seamless continuity between the world outside and the world within, delivering another major hit to the old fraud of objectivity. 'Real,' as Kevin Kelly put it, 'is going to be one of the most relative words we'll have.' — John Perry Barlow

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

Virtual reality is a tough sell for a software developer. They have to convince investors that not only are they going to build a good game, which is what they normally have to do, they have to convince them that it's going to be a good game and that virtual reality will be successful. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

We're finally going to be free of the 2D monitor. It's been a window into virtual reality that we've all looked into for 30 or 40 years. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

When people take off the headset, they immediately have a creative idea about what they can make in virtual reality, and a lot of them immediately want to get involved. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By Steven Pinker

Photography is a kind of virtual reality, and it helps if you can create the illusion of being in an interesting world. — Steven Pinker

Virtual Reality Quotes By Bill Watterson

Virtual reality has nothing on Calvin. — Bill Watterson

Virtual Reality Quotes By Terence McKenna

Cultures are virtual realities made of language. — Terence McKenna

Virtual Reality Quotes By Thomas Metzinger

Virtual reality is the representation of possible worlds and possible selves, with the aim of making them appear as real as possible - ideally, by creating a subjective sense of "presence" and full immersion in the user. — Thomas Metzinger

Virtual Reality Quotes By John Hench

The park achieved a kind of reality. Like these virtual reality games the children are playing with. I told them we were doing this 40 years ago! Disneyland is virtual reality. — John Hench

Virtual Reality Quotes By Nick Bostrom

Nanotechnology has been moving a little faster than I expected, virtual reality a little slower. — Nick Bostrom

Virtual Reality Quotes By Marcel Proust

In reality, in love there is a permanent suffering which joy neutralizes, renders virtual delays, but which can at any moment become what it would have become long earlier if one had not obtained what one wanted
atrocious. — Marcel Proust

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jonathan Gottschall

Fiction is an ancient virtual reality technology that specializes in simulating human problems. — Jonathan Gottschall

Virtual Reality Quotes By Palmer Luckey

I was interested in virtual reality for several years even before working at USC, it wasn't an interest that started there at all. In fact, when I started working at USC, I already had prototypes of the Rift that were very similar to the final design. — Palmer Luckey

Virtual Reality Quotes By Franco Santoro

The ordinary reality, as I perceive it, is but a huge and intricate virtual screen which operates on multiple levels. Its origins and developments extend far beyond the understanding and scope of the established functioning of the mind. Trapped in the pen of the binary system and the identification with their physical bodies, human beings eat up a fodder made up of sin, guilt and fear, as they watch the soap opera of life being repeated over and over. Yet such a mirage is so insane and unreal that attentive eyes cannot help discovering gaps all over the place. Although the operators at the projector do their best to botch it up, the absurd illusion of this misperception may reveal itself at any moment. It is like a boasting block of ice showing off its solidity as long as the temperature is below zero and yet inevitably starting to thaw and melt away in warmer weather. — Franco Santoro

Virtual Reality Quotes By Miguel Ruiz

Humans believe in so many lies that even the smallest thing becomes a big dream that makes us suffer. Usually it's just a judgment, and mainly it's a self-judgment: 'Poor me. Look what happened to me when I was nine years old. Look what happened to me last night!" Well, whatever happened in your past is not truth anymore. It could be the most horrible thing, but right now it's not the truth, because right now is the only truth you live in. Whatever happened in your past is in the virtual reality, and whatever happened to your body was healed long ago, but the mind can make you suffer and live in shame for years. — Miguel Ruiz

Virtual Reality Quotes By Francis Hamit

The first million words are the hardest. — Francis Hamit

Virtual Reality Quotes By David Deutsch

It is possible to build a virtual-reality generator whose repertoire includes every possible environment. — David Deutsch

Virtual Reality Quotes By Miguel Angel Ruiz

The dream of life is really an illusion, and everybody lives in the reality he or she creates - a virtual reality that is only true for the one who creates it. — Miguel Angel Ruiz

Virtual Reality Quotes By Robert J. Sawyer

Virtual reality is just air guitar writ large. — Robert J. Sawyer

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jonathan Gottschall

Commentators frequently blame MMORPGs for an increasing sense of isolation in modern life. But virtual worlds are less a cause of that isolation than a response to it. Virtual worlds give back what has been scooped out of modern life. The virtual world is in important ways more authentically human than the real world. It gives us back community, a feeling of competence, and a sense of being an important person whom people depend on. — Jonathan Gottschall

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jane McGonigal

The real world just doesn't offer up as easily the carefully designed pleasures, the thrilling challenges, and the powerful social bonding afforded by virtual environments. Reality doesn't motivate us as effectively. Reality isn't engineered to maximize our potential. Reality wasn't designed from the bottom up to make us happy. — Jane McGonigal

Virtual Reality Quotes By Brendan Iribe

Certainly, virtual reality headsets are behind in resolution, but it'll all catch up pretty quickly once there's a consumer market and there's demand. — Brendan Iribe

Virtual Reality Quotes By Guido Palau

All hair is away from the face - there's no emotion and all of the personality is taken away. I envisioned the way a 'virtual girl' is drawn in a cartoon. Then I added these different colored extensions - white, red and black, which adds to the synthetic feeling of the hair. I used colors which looked most dramatic against each of the models' real hair. The different colors give you that pop of fakeness so we're not talking about reality. Like a futuristic princess. — Guido Palau

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ray Kurzweil

By 2010 computers will disappear. They'll be so small, they'll be embedded in our clothing, in our environment. Images will be written directly to our retina, providing full-immersion virtual reality, augmented real reality. We'll be interacting with virtual personalities. — Ray Kurzweil

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jean Baudrillard

Virtuality is different from the spectacle, which still left room for a critical consciousness and demystification. The abstraction of the 'spectacle' was never irrevocable, even for the Situationists. Whereas unconditional realization is irrevocable, since we are no longer either alienated or dispossessed: we are in possession of all the information. We are no longer spectators, but actors in the performance, and actors increasingly integrated into the course of that performance. Whereas we could face up to the unreality of the world as spectacle, we are defenceless before the extreme reality of this world, before this virtual perfection. We are, in fact, beyond all disalienation. This is the new form of terror, by comparison with which the horrors of alienation were very small beer. — Jean Baudrillard

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jaron Lanier

Back in the 1980s, when the internet was only available to a small number of pioneers, I was often confronted by people who feared that the strange technologies I was working on, like virtual reality, might unleash the demons of human nature. For instance, would people become addicted to virtual reality as if it were a drug? Would they become trapped in it, unable to escape back to the physical world where the rest of us live? Some of the questions were silly, and others were prescient. — Jaron Lanier

Virtual Reality Quotes By Charles Stross

It turns out that the killer application for virtual reality is other human beings. Build a world that people want to inhabit, and the inhabitants will come. — Charles Stross

Virtual Reality Quotes By Nick Woodman

In France, a hip replacement was captured using two GoPros in a stereoscopic 3D arrangement. Students can watch the surgery using a virtual reality headset. — Nick Woodman

Virtual Reality Quotes By Sam Keen

The major impediment to experiencing the sacred depths of ordinary moments is the speed and distraction of contemporary life that moves to the imperatives of the global economic order.In addition, we increasingly live in a virtual world in which our reality is filtered through media and information technology. — Sam Keen

Virtual Reality Quotes By Burt Rutan

Within 25 years, virtual reality meetings will be essentially transparent to being there in person. Once we can do this, the idea of climbing into an aircraft, and burning up huge quantities of fossil fuels to propel our bodies and briefcases full of papers, will seem absolutely backward. — Burt Rutan

Virtual Reality Quotes By Dennis Miller

If some unemployed punk in New Jersey, can get a cassette to make love to Elle McPherson for $19.95, this virtual reality stuff is going to make crack look like Sanka. — Dennis Miller

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ernest Cline

Steven Spielberg making a Ready Player One movie is going to change the course of human history as pertains to how quickly virtual reality is adopted. He's going to shows the whole world the potential of VR, which is one of the reasons I think he's doing it. Once you have to compose for 360 degrees, and a movie is different every time you watch it depending on where you choose to look, it's like the dawn of a new era. — Ernest Cline

Virtual Reality Quotes By Geoff Mulgan

As the Internet of things advances, the very notion of a clear dividing line between reality and virtual reality becomes blurred, sometimes in creative ways. — Geoff Mulgan

Virtual Reality Quotes By Iain M. Banks

The Sublime. The almost tangible, entirely believable, mathematically verifiable nirvana just a few right-angle turns away from dear boring old reality: a vast, infinite, better-than-virtual ultra-existence with no Off switch, to which species and civilizations had been hauling their sorry tired-with-it-all behinds off to since - the story went - the galaxy had still been in metaphorical knee socks. — Iain M. Banks

Virtual Reality Quotes By Amy Poehler

Matt asked me to join the Upright Citizens Brigade, a relatively young sketch group. They needed a girl. I had heard of their shows around town, which seemed like a mixture of improvisation and performance art. They had done a show where each member sat on a street corner and had a Thanksgiving dinner. They did a show where they pretended a member was committing suicide. They did a show where they took an audience member for a virtual-reality tour out into the streets of Chicago. Most of their stuff was about getting the audience out of their chairs and out of their comfort zone. The Upright Citizens Brigade name came from a fake big bad corporation that was mentioned in one of their shows. The idea was this group had co-opted the name and was causing chaos on purpose - picture Occupy Wall Street if they renamed themselves "Halliburton Inc." Like I said, Matt had big ideas. He had a big plan for the UCB and I wanted to be part of it. I grabbed his coattails and held on tight. — Amy Poehler

Virtual Reality Quotes By Jane Rosenthal

Tribeca has always celebrated the most exciting new forms of storytelling, from video games to virtual reality. — Jane Rosenthal

Virtual Reality Quotes By Hans Blix

There was a very consistent creation of a virtual reality, and eventually it collided with our old-fashioned, ordinary reality. — Hans Blix

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ken Jennings

There were two problems with this idea. First, it led to crappy "virtual reality" movies like Virtuosity and The Lawnmower Man. And second, in the long run, it turned out to be totally wrong. — Ken Jennings

Virtual Reality Quotes By Thomas Dolby

I started looking at small companies that were running a sort of virtual reality cottage industry: I had imagined that I would just put on a helmet and be somewhere else - that's your dream of what it's going to be. — Thomas Dolby

Virtual Reality Quotes By Molly Haskell

Movies both reflect and create social conditions, but their special charm is to offer fantasy clothes as virtual reality, a world where people consume without the tedium of labor. Characters float in a world where the bill never comes due ... and we wonder why we're a debtor nation! — Molly Haskell

Virtual Reality Quotes By Rodolfo Llinas

Some people prefer to see the game in the television than to go to the stadium. With virtual reality this will go to be worse, but at the end the "real" reality will win, because a virtual meal is not the same thing as a real one! — Rodolfo Llinas

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ray Kurzweil

The telephone is virtual reality in that you can meet with someone as if you are together, at least for the auditory sense. — Ray Kurzweil

Virtual Reality Quotes By Chris Milk

With virtual reality, I'm not interested in the novelty factor. I'm interested in the foundations for a medium that could be more powerful than cinema, than theatre, than literature, than any other medium we've had before to connect one human being to another. — Chris Milk

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ray Kurzweil

By the end of this decade, computers will disappear as distinct physical objects, with displays built in our eyeglasses, and electronics woven in our clothing, providing full-immersion visual virtual reality. — Ray Kurzweil

Virtual Reality Quotes By Ginette Paris

A myth is a fantasy, a preferred lie, a foundational story, a hypnotic trance, an identity game, a virtual reality, one that can be either inspirational or despairing. It is a story in which I cast myself; it is my inner cinema, the motion picture of my inner reality - one that moves all the time. No diagnosis can fix the myth, no cure can settle it, because our inner life is precisely what, in us, will not lie still. — Ginette Paris
