Cortney Harding is a virtual reality and AI expert. She is a winner of multiple awards including “Best VR/AR” at Mobile World Congress and was an SXSW Innovation Award Finalist.
She says: VR can have positive effects on lives, filming from your head creates an experience contrary to documentaries, and the missing ecosystem of VR creators is problematic.
Questions she raises: Is legal is late to the game? Do avatars have legal rights?
She says we are lost in transition between and our old world and the new one which has not yet really started.
