While Foretell Reality and I share the same vision for technology’s role in dating, there’s a bigger question at hand. How is that technology affecting dating, relationships, and how we communicate with each other today? That’s where Dr. Sharabi comes in. 

Dr. Sharabi is an assistant professor at the Hugh Downs School of Human Communication and the Director of the Relationships and Technology Lab at Arizona State University. She has dedicated her career to understanding how technology affects romantic relationships. As an expert in online dating, she is an oft-quoted expert appearing in a variety of edited volumes and journals as well as New York Magazine, Bloomberg, Time magazine, NPR, the BBC, The Huffington Post, and her blog for Psychology Today called Dating in the Digital Age.

By partnering with Dr. Sharabi and her Relationships and Technology lab at ASU, we are contributing to a larger study on VR coaching’s ability to transform dating and relationships in real life. Dr. Sharabi will help us fine-tune our process with quantifiable data, giving our clients the best date coaching experience possible. With Dr. Sharabi’s help, we’re proving that VR isn’t just fun, but seriously helpful.
