While VR is still a nascent technology, the support behind it is overwhelming partly due to the potential it has in virtually every industry. Some of the industries affected are apparent, like gaming and entertainment, and whereas a more immersive method of media consumption is always beneficial, some other industries require a little creative thinking.

Tourism will benefit greatly from this immersive technology. Tourism organizations will better be able to sell the experience of a destination, as VR headsets will make it seem like users are really there.

Education is another industry that not many people think of but could really be leveraged within the classroom. Engaging students has always been a challenge for teachers and VR headsets could be the answer to this eternal struggle.

VR headsets also have room in more advanced and specialized education, such as training people for risky jobs or where training on-site would be impractical. Oil rig companies, underwater welding, or even astronauts could all benefit from training off-site with virtual reality.

Phobias and brain disease could also be helped via virtual reality, allowing patients to get close to phobias without actually being close to phobias. ImmVrse is currently conducting research in collaboration with Imperial College London to better understand the effects of VR on the brain, as research from 2005 showed that VR could support traditional rehabilitation methods.

Mediation is also greatly aided, allowing users to visualize whatever peaceful situation they desire without having to physically travel there. This age-old practice has received a resurgence in popularity, and could receive a high tech upgrade thanks to headsets.

The top tech companies including Facebook, Google, and Apple to name a few are already underway with addressing VR. Top universities Oxford, Stanford, and MIT are promoting the technology as well.  A Forbes study has shown that 75% of the world’s most influential companies implement VR in their marketing strategy.

Ford currently uses VR within its Immersion Lab, allowing employees to view a vehicle with a headset. Entire exteriors and interiors of cars can be examined, and intimate details such as the way dashboard or upholstery looks can be viewed as well.

Variables can be changed at will faster and cheaper than physical prototypes, and Ford used this technology in 2017 to examine more than 135,000 details with 193 virtual vehicle prototypes. As the technology becomes more available, other manufactures will take advantage of VR to speed up the prototyping phase.
