DISNEY: AR IS ‘VERY EXCITING’ BUT VR HAS ‘SOCIALISATION PROBLEM’

Engadget also spoke with Disney Interactive head John Blackburn about the differences between VR and AR to which he responded, “My own experience with these devices right now is that I feel like they almost cut directly against what we’re trying to do, which is experiences that can involve you with somebody else,” Blackburn continued, “The idea of kind of creating that family memory and playing it together is really core to the experience we’re trying to build. And so when you put a lot of these headsets on, it’s almost isolating in a way. Until we can get over that piece of the technology, it’s not as interesting to me.”
