No day passes without new products and applications to be announced that have something to do with Virtual Reality. Spectacular devices, crowd funding initiatives, acquisitions for billions – Virtual Reality is now the center of attention.

Many people are very interested in the phenomenon of ‘ VR ‘ and therefore also like to speculate about the future. There is enough competition in the market. There are under more glasses of Oculus, Samsung, Valve/HTC and Sony PlayStation, but what will actually happen to the content for the VR glasses?

We already know the games that can be played with virtual glasses, mainly first person view shooters. Nowadays more and more Virtual Reality applications beyond the world of games are being developed, such as digital construction drawings for all types of infrastructures.

Meanwhile, there are already several examples where the VR glasses are applied. How about a ride in a real roller coaster but with a VR glasses on? In Amsterdam there is even a VR cinema where you can experience the latest movies in a virtual world.

VR is a new standard for interactive entertainment. It was already there for games, but it is much more than that think of attending a football match or other sports competitions, concerts, theatre performances and events. But also feature films themselves are life-like, you can even watch from a cinema seat. The great thing is that you are in control of what happens: as carrier of the glasses you decide the image cropping and do you therefore feel that you yourself are on the spot. Especially when the sound also adjusts to your movements.

Virtual Reality is the media revolution of the next decade. As with any new technique it will have time to grow and make his way to the mainstream. However, some people are even convinced that Virtual Reality will about ten to fifteen years be just as large as the Internet is today.

Pack your stuff, as we are leaving for Mars. Elon Musk unveiled last month the futuristic plans of his space company SpaceX. Musk is going to build rockets to get 1 million people on Mars. In the end 2022 the first flight with passengers should leave.

It takes a while before the earth is uninhabitable, but for Elon Musk it is clear: a part of the humanity needs to move to Mars. To make that happen, he has designed a comprehensive infrastructure of rockets called ‘ Interplanetary Transport System ‘.

In the rockets can carry hundred passengers per flight. To move 1 million people to Mars, 10,000 flights have to be made. With the current design of SpaceX, each single rocket can be used between 12 to 15 times. After launch, the missile can fly back and land again.

About 50 to 100 years, the goal of 1 million inhabitants should be reached on the red planet. That number counts Musk as minimum to build a new society. Not everyone will be able to pay the travel, but Musk has indeed taken into account the affordability. Per person the trip should cost about $ 200,000.

But Musk is not the only one with this ambition. Also the Dutchman Bass Lansdorp wants to create a habitable environment on the planet with his project Mars One, but his plans are less ambitious. Mars One is a Dutch foundation that wants to establish a space colony on Mars. In 2026 the first team of four carefully selected people will arrive on the planet. However both projects offer only one-way tickets to the planet, with the sole purpose of sending only people who are well prepared for this journey.

You can respond in two ways if you read this: finish the message with “this is a complete nonsense ‘or’ this is really entering a new era.” The latter is not only plausible but perhaps the reality.
