Yap, besides gaming and training, I still wonder how virtual reality can help and assist other people
such as my mother, uncle, friends who don't play games. My concern is if this VR is just a hype or a five-minute fame.
Such as the 3D movies or 3D TVs. Hope we can explore the use of VR in more ways that can be applied to consumers.
Perhaps in the area of teleconferencing, patrolling, security or telecommuting.
