Digital technology today mainly uses two senses - sight and sound. But it may not be long before we can feel, taste and smell digital objects in a way that is indistinguishable from physical experiences.

Imagine that you can buy designer clothes as cheap as £15 per item. But on one condition, they are for social media only.

Physical retail shops still have the edge over their online competitors with regard to the overall experience. But with virtual reality technology finally taking off, a big part of this experience will be transferrable.

Depression is a serious illness. More than "the blues," it is a mental condition that, if left untreated, can have serious consequences. It doesn't just affect one's activities in his or her daily life. It can result in severe mental and physical issues in the long term. And, for many people, it's a reoccurring disorder. And despite it being so common, we still struggle to fully understand it and treat it. Now virtual reality is helping us do both.
