According to experts, the future of travel and communication may lie in virtual reality.

Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg recently said the company is working on a wave of virtual reality (VR) innovations, including “teleportation.” The company hopes the upgrades to VR will arrive by the end of the decade.

"The ability to teleport into a virtual office and work comfortably [and interact] with colleagues will absolutely increase productivity," Colin Rose, CEO of Objective Reality Studios, a virtual reality software company, said in an email interview. "All the necessary components are in place to make this a reality. All we have to do is update the software."

According to a report in The Information, Zuckerberg believes that by 2030, users will be able to put on smart glasses and “teleport” to locations such as offices and other people’s homes. You’ll be able to talk to teleporters as if they were physically present, potentially replacing in-person meetings with virtual reality.
