When most people think of virtual reality (VR) they think of an interactive gaming experience, where players get to participate in a fun adventure that feels almost like real life. While VR has certainly made a splash in the entrainment space, it’s also making an impact in a less flashy sector—science. VR tool are providing researchers, engineers and designers with entirely new perspectives on their scientific endeavors. For the first time, they can literally step inside their experiments, models and designs and tackle new and innovative ideas and challenges never before possible. Over the last month R&D Magazine highlighted some of the science that VR has made possible. Equipment We first took a look at the VR tools themselves. While VR has had significant potential as a research tool for some time, it hasn’t been highly utilized because many early VR systems were not suited for analysis and research purposes. In our article “Immersive Science Brings VR Tools to Research Labs” we highlighted a Seattle-based company that develops what they call ‘perceptual experiences’ that are more than the simple visualization tools that are often utilized. This technology—specifically designed for biomedical research purposes—gives scientists the ability to engage with their… Read full this story
