Imagine a virtual reality experience where, when you go into this virtual reality world, everything looks like it's real and you can navigate around it and begin to do extraordinary things in this high-fidelity world. At home, you will have yourself 3D scanned down to the millimeter.

I then enter into a virtual world and I have an AI there that is my shopping advisor. It says, “Peter, what are you looking for?” And all of a sudden in this virtual world, everything I see is in my size, in the colors I want, recommended by this AI.

And I can say, you know, I’d love to see a fashion show. On a runway are avatars of me wearing all these different outfits walking by, and I can say I want to see that one and that one. And all of a sudden I’m looking in a virtual mirror and I’m wearing that outfit and I can look around, see what it looks like.

And I go, “This is it. I want that.” Boom, it’s produced, manufactured to my exact size probably using 3D printing capabilities or robotic capabilities that afternoon in the local factory and delivered the next morning, and it fits perfectly.

So that’s the future of the virtual retail store, if you would, and why I think virtual reality is going to do effectively a hundred-fold improvement over what the Amazon experience is today.

Gautam Mukunda: Abraham Lincoln, Avatar of History

Abraham Lincoln’s humility comes from a lot of places, but it probably starts with his sense of empathy. We know a remarkable amount about him for someone who was born in the early 19th century. Even when he was a child, he demonstrated extraordinary empa…

Refraction in a glass of water | Waves | Middle school physics | Khan Academy

So, something very interesting is clearly going on when we look at this pencil dipped in this cup of water. We would expect if maybe there was no water in this glass that we would just see the pencil continue straight down in a line that looks something l…

Why Do We Have Two Nostrils?

Hey, Vsauce. Michael here. And our faces have a lot of holes. We have two ears and two eyes. It makes sense, because the difference in time it takes for a sound to reach one ear and the other allows us to localize where the sound is coming from. And havin…
