Summary:

Virtual reality has been over-hyped for decades, but with the release of Facebook's Oculus Rift, Google's Cardboard, and Samsung's Gear VR, it seems to be on the cusp of arriving for real. Most VR fans are excited to play games and watch movies on their headsets, but a small group of healthcare providers are already using VR for more serious medical issues. We meet a psychologist who is using VR to cure his patients' phobias, and a UCLA brain surgeon who is prepping for surgery by examining 3-D models of his patients' brains in VR. “Real Future” seeks to get up close with people and communities using new technologies to change the world.
