Abstract
Virtual reality is used today for job training, but that's just the beginning. In a Q&A, Jeremy Bailenson, a leading expert in virtual reality, says that VR has the potential to be a much-improved video conference tool - one that's good enough to reduce our need to commute. What Bailenson calls 'avatar-based communication,' with eye contact and facial expressions, has the potential 'to create the intimacy and non-verbal behavior that you get face to face.'
