Just in case you think the article wasn't expansive enough in the possibilities for AR/VR business models, I'll just leave this here: http://www.varcrypt.com/info/

> VARcrypt is the world's first blockchain content distribution platform designed specifically for VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) content. VARcrypt derives its name from a combination of both VR (Virtual Reality) and AR (Augmented Reality) resulting in the combination of VAR which when mixed with a cryptographic blockchain content distribution and payment processing protocol combines to create VARcrypt. VARcrypt's blockchain will be powered by its own proprietary cryptocurrency, VARcoin. VARcoin will become its own medium of exchange for goods and services within the VARcrypt blockchain universe and beyond.

> The future of media will not be either VR or AR, it will be both, it will be VAR and that future will be brought to you by VARcrypt. VARcrypt is a place for artists, a place for content, a place for the future, because at VARcrypt we are breaking everything.

Sometimes I just love the startup world.

An 'untraceable' currency for buying digital kink to be consumed in the privacy of one's headset. Sounds like the future to me.

This is parody, right?

It has to be.

Nope, a real company hosting an event with the Harvard Business School Club of New York this month. Whether it should be parody is entirely a matter of opinion.

As you implied, we're gonna see a bunch of scammer... I hope that they will not deteriorate the VR / AR image

Varcrypt is under development. Interested to know about new VR gadgets,

It will be available in the future where every medium is divided between AR & VR by artists for artists.

I am waiting!!

I am wondering everybody is talking about AR & VR, but what about the Word "Reality". Most of the people are turning toward VR.
