In the 179 year history of Virtual Reality, uptake has been
relatively slow. In that time cinema, recorded music, space flight and
the internet have been invented and had a greater impact on society than
VR has had. But VR will change everything. All sectors could be greatly
enhanced by workers and consumers utilising an extra layer of perception
in order to communicate ideas. Read our blog on why your company needs a
VR strategy.
