Many of us relate Virtual Reality with gaming, but little did we know that it is being used in many more capacities. As technology is progressing, its uses are also surfacing. There are various industries with various capacities, utilizing technology. Here are some of the most common instances-

Healthcare

In healthcare, Virtual Reality is offering a diverse range of applications. Basically, it is the brand new trend in the healthcare sector. And VR in cognitive behavior therapy is the most ancient application used. It can recognize the traits and phobias in the patients like public speaking, flying or heights and treat the patients for such social anxieties. Hence, it offers a controlled environment which helps doctors to expose their patients to the simulations. And direct them to cope up with how they feel.

Doctors are now treating limb pain with Virtual reality. This therapy uses sensors to pick up on nerve inputs and patients have to complete a game using a virtual limb. It makes complicated treatments simpler by offering simulations and accurate reading. It has become a great part of healthcare already.

Recently, Coldplay released a VR experience back at the end of the year 2014.

Education

Academics and training is another major field using VR capabilities. Everybody from mechanics to surgeons is using VR for training purposes. For younger students, VR is mostly about immense gaming or virtual field trips. But it is used in training pilots, surgeons or other mechanical fields.

Tourism

Similarly, Marriott hotels offer a “teleporter” which is basically a Virtual Reality enabled technology. It allows users to visit downtown London or beach in Hawaii virtually, by wearing an Oculus Rift headset. Other senses are also catered by the teleporter which lets the users feel winds in their hair or sun on their face.
