Ever since I saw the latest demo of virtual reality at CES, I’ve become a big fan. I think there’s so much potential opportunity to take a look at things from a different angle. I think we’ve barely begun to rethink what it means for us. I’m not sure we’ll have one in every household the way we do our cell phones, but then again Google Cardboard is pretty cheap and inexpensive to share.
Mass appeal or not, we’re going to see useful implementations of virtual reality in healthcare. Of that I’m sure. With that in mind, I’m always interested by companies that are experimenting with the technology in healthcare. In this case, here’s a short demo from Mana Health.
I have a feeling we’re going to look back at this basic implementation even a few years from now and laugh at its simplicity. Although, that was the case with every tech revolution. Have you ever looked back at Windows 3.1 or various websites on the Waybackmachine when the internet first began?
Obviously this demo illustrates that we’re still in the very early days of virtual reality. Although, it’s fun to get the mind to start thinking about a new interface.
