Vizor.io Is Combining YouTube, Virtual Reality and Cryptocurrencies

In conversations about what the future of money and our society is going to look like, I often find myself reminding people that if they are looking at Bitcoin’s effect in a vacuum, they are only seeing a small part of a much larger equation. Bitcoin is not the only emergent technology set to come down the pipeline that is going to change our society forever. The ‘Internet of Things,’ the coming decentralization of production due to 3D printers, self driving cars, consumer drones and Virtual Reality are all poised to change the way we think about and operate in society.
All of those coming revolutions will have use for cryptocurrencies, but it is Virtual Reality that has the most obvious use case. You may not be aware, but the people involved in the Virtual Reality development community are thinking about uses that will have an impact on more than just video games. As a lifelong gamer, it is hard for me to say this but, gaming is probably the least important thing that will come out of Virtual Reality. What will, in the long term, be more important than playing HALO 7 in Virtual Reality will be the other experiences that Virtual Reality will bring. Virtual tourism looks to be a huge early application but even that will pale in comparison to what is coming in the future.
Vizor is looking to be the first company to combine the two technologies in a significant way, and they are crowd funding their project with a new coin designed to be the currency of VR.
