Why virtual reality is big for business

From ITPro

Virtual reality has gathered a lot of interest within the last few years, and tech giants such as Samsung, HTC, Sony and even Facebook have all launched their own VR headsets. But one belief that’s common in this area of technology is that it’s only really suitable for gaming.

That couldn’t be more wrong. Although VR products and applications offer gamers a more immersive gameplay experience, virtual reality is starting to make an impact in other areas. In fact, interest in VR is widespread, with companies and individuals in industries such as education, healthcare and hospitality all realising the benefits.

There’s also broad appeal in the general business world. Firms are actively exploring ways they can integrate the latest VR products into everyday operations. This technology is beginning to help them streamline business processes, improve efficiencies and make staff more productive.
