Here’s what Yelp would do with virtual reality

Facebook purchased Oculus VR for $2 billion Tuesday, to the dismay of the virtual reality company’s users and supporters, but we kinda wish the deal went to Yelp instead.

For Yelp’s Hackathon 13, a team of engineers built upon the idea of adding a virtual experience to Yelp Monocle, a form of augmented reality accessed through your smartphone camera. It will give you restaurant ratings based on your location, and came up with “Yelpulus Rift.”

The parody ad promises an augmented reality, and all you need to recreate is an iPad and a few household items to look completely ridiculous.

And it might just give enough distraction for people to forget about the absurdity of wearing Google Glass.
