There is a lot of focus on the virtual reality space right now, although there is no direct correlation with digital currency just yet.

Bringing Digital Currency Virtual Reality

Most people think of virtual reality

as a way to enhance the user experience, by offering a 360-degree view or having the ability to create one’s own environment to work in.

blockchain in virtual reality, on the other hand, could be quite interesting, though. Considering how this technology broadcasts all transactions on the network in real-time, there is potential for a more immersive user experience by embracing the concept of virtual reality.

Additionally, VR could help gain people a better understanding of blockchain technology, as they would – theoretically speaking – be able to surround themselves with the blockchain itself. Use case examples, such as smart contracts, could be explored in-depth, and additional knowledge or ideas could be gathered.

It remains to be seen whether or not here is an interesting in merging VR with the digital currency. The concept seems a bit moot right now, although there are potential advantages to doing so. However, the focus of Bitcoin should be on the development of the currency and protocol itself right now, rather than VR.
