In this episode, we discuss:

  1. How can we make interactions with VR meaningful
  2. VR as a support for contemplative practice
  3. The parallel between VR and Hinduism as an understanding of the world as dharma
  4. Using VR to define reality – Who are we with all these possibilities?  What would we like to experience? Wouldn’t we prefer to have surprises in life?
  5. Therapy facilitated by VR to expand healing possibilities
  6. The potential for both positive and negative effects of VR and how we will have to make personal and existential choices about how to use this technology
