Ever since some multi-billion-dollar companies found a way to induce virtual reality into something that can be perceived in 3D, there has been a host of developments across multiple verticals. Starting from programming, games and entertainment to quantum leaps being witnessed in adult entertainment, VR apps are now being developed even for dating and socialising.

Similarly, there are a few companies that seem to be creating new trails in dating as well as socialising via VR. It seems that the main advantage of VR dating is the ability to interact with your intended date instead of looking at a picture and a list of likes and dislikes. In addition, it also helps save time and lets you take your date from the comfort of your home before you want to sit down face to face.

Some VR apps are providing a different experience all together. They look to provide experiences of visiting a new city or a monument or a club or any other experience, that you would like have with your partner. This is now known as feature dating and is being offered by a company called vTime.

vTime helps people experience ‘dates’ in the space, or the Canadian Great Plains or even underwater. vTime targets special locations to provide people an interactive experience, like co-gaming, where they can spend time with each other or interact with other people as well. These locations are mostly beautiful and breath-taking locations, that would make your date with your partner all the more special.

The 360-degree feature on vTime enables users to even take 360 photos and access it on the vTime app on their smartphone. Nice to have a memento of your beautiful rendezvous.

Online dating site, eHarmony, estimates that by 2040, VR would enable us to even smell and touch our partners on a VR date. Currently, developments in motion-tracking, head-tracking etc, already allows users to feel as if their entire environment has changed. All of this is still in 2D, even though it projects a 3D environment. It begs to wonder, what kind of an experience VR dating might evolve to, if the current rate of innovation continues.

Let’s take a look at some other innovations that are looking to change how we experience the world and our relationships today.
