Virtual reality (VR): the future is immersive

Heralded as the next big step in computing, Virtual Reality (VR) was slow to gain traction in previous years. But as headsets become more accessible and affordable, the technology is finally growing up. While content creation for household entertainment is kicking into gear, many professional sectors are beginning to see the potential of VR applications as well.

Virtual reality (VR) creates fully immersive, computer-generated 3D environments that users are able to interact with. Unlike augmented reality (AR), it does not incorporate the real world. Immersive gaming and VR movie experiences are set to disrupt the world of entertainment. However, use cases are also emerging within other industries. These business applications show that VR could be just as transformative in professional contexts by saving costs and improving operational excellence.

Some business applications of VR

  • Product development: Companies will use virtual reality to visualize prototypes. This gives engineers detailed insights into a product at the very beginning of the development process, minimizing errors and saving time. 
  • Virtual tours: from real estate to building sites and tourism offices, VR enables virtual tours, allowing companies to point out all the best features in real time.
  • Collaboration: virtual workspaces are an engaging, immersive and low-cost solution to holding meetings with people based in various locations. 
  • Data visualization: visualizing big data in virtual environments makes data even more engaging and actionable, enabling a whole new level of collaborative decision-making.
  • Training: virtual reality offers new ways to convey knowledge and allows employers to test their workers in realistic environments without the risks.
  • Marketing & sales: VR allows marketeers to showcase products in virtual worlds or lets them create emotional experiences that deepen customer engagement with a brand or product.
