Re: VR
@dcawrey, I read similar articles. In that case VR is an excellent option to use for making improvements.

Re: VR
@JohnBarnes, I am not a fan of VR. I actually enjoy live experiences. It gives you a completely different experience and feeling that no technology can match. I pass on VR.

Re: VR
@elizabethv. That is a good use of VR. I must watch too much HGTV and have seen horror stories of consumers using VR to look at homes, apartments etc. without physically going to see it and then become disappointed after purchasing it when it doesn't look like they thought it would. I want to see it in person.

Data
"Having said that, what I'm seeing is that as long as the consumer is willingly able to share with us, and there are instances of that, we will get considerable amounts of data. And as we move forward, one of the most powerful tools we'll be able to build is our ability to look at the consumer holistically -- at least from the watch side and behavior and habits side."

They want consumers to share data with them for free. This sounds like consumers should get paid for doing this.

A bit of a self-plug
In my 1994 sci fi novel Mother of Storms, there's a short background detail that one couple are sort of a "mixed match" in that he's an old fashioned country boy who spent a lot of time hiking and camping in the woods, where he gradually learned the names and somthing about some of the plants, animals, and terrain, whereas she likes to go hiking and camping wearing an augmented reality set that gives her extensive verbal (ie. written or spoken) notes about everything she looks at, so that she not only knows the name of every creature she sees, but whether it's endangered or invasive, what its economic uses are if any, diet, habits, etc.

You could go a lot further with that if you have humaniform robots; while walking on a treadmill in a comfortable high rise apartment in Mumbai, Seoul, Oakland, or Hamburg, a person could hike through Glacier or Kruger, or for that matter walk to the South Pole.

Always assuming, of course, you can solve that pesky bandwidth problem!

Re: VR
DCawrey,

That would apply to almost any sport (or at least any with any significant wear-and-tear, which is all the ones I can think of).  Run your sprints over and over and count and measure your strides, learn to visualized perfect stride length; memorize another boxer's tells and use them to trigger your counterpunches; see openings in any advance-the-ball (or puck) game like American  football, rugby, lacrosse, hurling, polo, basketball, soccer, or hockey (and those are just the ones I could think of offhand). It's been a chronic problem forever that the brain doesn't learn the sport as fast as the body wears out. VR could indeed fix much of that.

Re: VR
That's so cool! Thanks for sharing. Yeah it's crazy to see how VR is being used and quite successful. Especially being used so successfully over in India!

Re: VR
I read an article about a year back discussing NFL quarterbacks using VR as well. 

Apparently a fomer Stanford football player has built a business around getting pro quarterbacks more mental reps. This saves on wear and tear which is a great idea for a VR use case.
