Why is this helpful or cool? Well imagine you are a professor.You are trying to impart knowledge to the next medical professionals of tomorrow, but the only platforms you have available are books, videos and the first-hand experience with cadavers.You start to see your class become uninterested, and it’s not because the topic is dull, but because they aren’t engaged. Now imagine you were able to give them a window into a fully functioning human body that can go where we can’t go, and see what we can’t currently see. It turns something they have only read about into something they witnessed with their own eyes. These are the capabilities of a fully immersive experience. These men and women will truly be the doctors of tomorrow. This same experience can be brought into games, music, and more for the consumer. The trend could also be extremely beneficial for creative professionals. Giving the tools of a hands-on approach to what could only be achieved through a keyboard and mouse. This is why it is an extremely exciting frontier.
