You can't escape virtual reality.
VR headsets from Acer, Dell, HP, Lenovo and Samsung are getting ready to hit the market. Their goal: to give you an easy-to-use virtual reality experience with your PC at a lower price than competing headsets from the likes of Sony, Facebook and HTC.
That's the promise of VR powered by Microsoft Windows, the software that runs hundreds of millions of PCs and tablets around the world. When Microsoft begins sending out a free update to Windows 10 on Tuesday, it'll power VR headsets as well. It's called "Windows Mixed Reality."

Whoa, I just had a vision of rows of low wage VR truck drivers in a farm like arrangement. They handle the "last mile" maneuvering of self driving semi trucks. They sit in a virtual cab with maybe even some force feedback and real-time video from a special 3d camera on the truck. Any maneuvering that the trucks computer cant handle, the VR wage slaves handle. You could probably fire 90% or more of your drivers, keep a few to work in these VR farms and they just jump from job site to job site.
