Tinder takes a swipe at VR tech with new dating headset

Virtual reality is all the craze and everyone seems to be on the hunt for the perfect VR addition to their marketing gimmick.Taking a swipe at the trend is Tinder, which believes in connecting people in the real world.   In a blog post, the dating app developer said, “As a tech company, we felt inspired to create one of our own. But here’s the thing: our mission has always been to get people together to have real experiences in the real world.”So how does the brand reconcile the fact that VR is the antithesis of this?Take a look. https://youtu.be/6HXK90s2mlUBasically, two people in the real world simply look at each other through a pair of goggles.Tinder said in a blog post:“We created our multi-user VR headset with the Tinder experience in mind. Real people having a real experience, and like the app, it only works with a double opt-in. Although the Tinder VR headset is only on display at our booth at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) . . . the real-life experience of connecting with someone is always available on Tinder.  Welcome to the future. It’s all about human connection. Give it a try—you might enjoy it.”
