NEXT Series: The intersection of Playmation and Virtual Reality

Whenever I come across a new exciting investment theme, I'll tag it and include it in the NEXT Series (eventually it'll be a site page)

Earlier this month Disney and Hasbro announced this new playmation toy initiative.


This seems like it'll be a big hit with millennial parents; who want their kids to be active and use their imagination.  

The question for the near term is of course, will the kids like it?

The question worth asking for the long term might be:  How does the bridge into virtual reality?  Does V/R become part of the playmation experience?  Which got me thinking...

Is the biggest misconception of virtual reality detractors the idea that oh we'll just slap a headset on and sit there? 

It seems until Virtual Reality headsets can plug into our brains. V/R would be a much more immersive experience if it were an activity.  How do we reach that point?  Who knows, but there is a TON of investment opportunity here in the whole complimentary system around virtual reality.

Check out this cool contraption Hyve made to compliment V/R and physically exhaust us.

Thanks for reading!
