Oculus is device that allow us to experience a virtual world, it is like breaking the fourth wall of multimedia. It is mainly being develop for gaming, but film makers see infinite opportunities to revolutionize the film industry. In my opinion, Oculus is a cool idea. I would love to experience my favorite movies as if I were part of them, but as a Wall-E guy, I am afraid of the effects of this new technology in the behavior of future generations. I mentioned being a Wall-E guy, because the movie Wall-E is about how humanity has forgotten the meaning of life. Machines have been programmed to make the life of humans already figured out. Cool idea, until you realize that you have a society without desires or able to accomplish. People are living constantly in flying chairs in which they do not do more than watch T.V., and eat. They do not have dreams or ambitions. Wall-E is a movie that shows how humanity obsession of seeking perfection, make us lose track. Instead of using the machine, we will become part of it.
