![]() ![]() ![]() Bailenson’s newest book, Experience on Demand, builds on that earlier work while focusing more clearly - even bluntly - on what we do and don’t know about how VR affects humans.īailenson said in a recent phone call he’s heard from critics who say he didn’t focus on the potential negative uses of VR enough in the book.

I was looking to cut through the hype, and Bailenson offered a level-headed assessment of VR’s status that helped guide my reporting. After seeing a duct-taped prototype of the Oculus Rift for the first time in 2012, one of my first calls was to Jeremy Bailenson at Stanford. ![]()
