Summary
Can you imagine how cool it would be if we can meet up at some place in the virtual world, no matter if you are in Guangzhou and I am in New York. Can you imagine how nice it would be if we can stay at home and be comfortable without missing con-calls from work? By then, travelling the world might not be a dream but something that can be immediately realized by VR and ER.
