Virtual Reality’s Impact on the Future is in Business, Education, and Medicine

The unlimited possibilities of virtual reality technology are now popular topics of discussion and a must-have for innovative business leaders. VR is making the leap from science fiction movies to video games and now, to industries of business, medicine, and education.

Virtual Reality gaming is also creating new avenues for the gaming industry. It is quickly changing the way we work, the way we learn, and the way we see the world. VR and VR gaming are not just for entertainment as the concept may have started out to be. Game developers are widening the scope and experience of technology.

VR Warehouse business owner and co-founder Moises De Jesus envisions that medically, virtual reality will be a big thing once it’s fully integrated into society. “There are studies that show how it can help in the medical sector. With Alzheimer’s, if you could trigger a specific memory, you would be able to pool in lost memories”, he said. “There are many facets. VR will eventually merge with AR. Education for example, when you’re reading a book, you don’t know what that looks like but putting on a virtual reality headset, now you can see it, examine it, and study it. It shortens the learning curve.”

De Jesus also says that the original learning of man was visuality; before language, there was visuality and VR is reintroducing that early style of learning. However old, the young generation’s involvement is a key factor to the growth and development of VR gaming. Just as Millennials ushered in social media, they are also driving the use of virtual reality and other technological devices.

According to a Nielson report, “more than 74 percent of Millennials feel that new technology makes their lives easier, and 54 percent feel new technology helps them be closer to their friends and family.”

Co-founder and partner, Karriem Allah believes VR will filter into all societies. “Picture VR as being at the pioneer stage, the baby stage, and as it develops, it will engulf the whole world,” he states. The VR Warehouse has over 60 games including google earth that allows patrons to visit and see places all over the world.
