Peter and Dan discuss an exciting new experience using virtual reality technology to attend live presentations anywhere in the world. Peter also describes his experience after a 90-minute VR presentation, taking off his headset and snapping back into the real world at the XPRIZE office.

**In this episode:**

- Peter tells the story of meeting High Fidelity founder Philip Rosedale in a virtual world with a live audience of 200 people watching as he gave a talk on exponential technology.
- Peter describes the moment seeing his digital avatar and the Virtual Reality space created with a replica of SpaceShip One in the Mojave desert behind the stage. To see the video of Peter’s Virtual Reality experience, [click here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JugTHzUq4FE).
