Virtual and Augmented Reality

How new technologies can create huge numbers of meaningful jobs

Junpei Sasaki, a singer and "HADO" player, poses for a photograph in Tokyo, Japan, March 18, 2017. In "HADO", players in head-mounted augmented-reality displays and armband sensors dodge waves of light as they fire energy balls at each other in a virtual arena. "Sometimes I can feel the sensation of the energy ball leaving my hand when I play HADO. It makes playing the sport really exciting," Sasaki said.
