AI is Replacing Virtual Reality’s Hottest Entry Level Job

Virtual reality and AI has entered the global workforce at an alarming rate. There are many talented and qualified individuals that enter the job market of VR, however, they are easily replaced by the very technology that created the job later in the game. The idea is to get the VR information out to as many people as possible with the use of things like inexpensive headphones and various picture taking and video initiatives.

These advertising experiences have even taken place at popular gatherings, like comic-con. The goal is to reach as many people as possible through various video outlets like YouTube etc. If you are a new job seeker or professional in the industry you are probably starting out by stitching pics and clips together to form a clear and efficient final product. There are many different technologies that make this task possible. However, they still need improvement in some areas.

Google unveiled their Jump camera at last year’s I/O conference.

Some answers to the quality issues of manual stitching are RED’s, Sony A7Ss and Canon EOS M3s. Equipment and programs can be expected to improve over time, further eliminating the need for employees. Those who expect to stay in the business must acquire skills that persevere into other niches, as well. AI is going to make its way into many different job professions and the technology is already there with virtual reality. For now, people are still needed to go out into the community to introduce the new programs and features. Eventually, however, this content may be delivered much differently, depending on the technology. While the idea of introducing large numbers of people is working for now with the physical presence of humans on the job, the focus is still on reaching the largest number possible. Headsets and eyewear must be quickly cleaned and handed to the next person in line at events. The time per person is broken down and analyzed to make things efficient. The thought is that a YouTube video or something similar might reach more people with less effort.
