Last nast nights Upload Virtual Reality World Tour in San Francisco (uploadvr/events/) was quite impressive. A number of 3D headset makers showed off their take on the Oculus Rift project, which is going to be available to the consumer market by late 2015 to 2016. Content aggregation models are already starting to take off, like this portal of 360 degree video of the landscape of London which you can experience without 3D headsets: https://littlstar/videos/9761de70 YouTube is also rumored to support 360 VR video upload soon: roadtovr/youtube-360-video-youtube-of-vr-virtual-reality-360-video-streaming/ Learning applications for the technology are in early iterations too. From language learning and immersive virtual surgery training kits which were demoed at the show. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox have versions of their browsers available for developers to start experimenting with content creation for the emerging market which will come very soon.
