Where are you right now? At home? In the car? In a coffee shop? At school? It doesn’t matter. Wherever you are, with a small piece of consumer electronic equipment you could also be sitting at the table with Peter Ricchiuti at Commander’s Palace. Or Peter could be sitting next to you in the car, or in your kitchen.

This cutting edge hologram technology is based in what’s called Virtual Reality. It’s not science fiction. It’s coming soon to a Best Buy near you.

One of the pioneers of Virtual Reality in New Orleans is Peter’s guest today on Out to Lunch: Ryan Becnel from R and D Design.

When you’re in Best Buy looking at the boxes of VR equipment, the boxes might be looking back at you. That’s courtesy of cutting edge consumer behavior observation technology from a New Orleans company called Grok and Banter.
