The University of Washington Medical Center is now using virtual reality video games instead of addiction-forming narcotic painkillers (e.g., morphine) as part of its pain-management program for severe burn victims. VR also has amazingly helpful training uses for the military and in the medical field.
But if the real thing isn’t possible, then VR can be a good surrogate. Or maybe someone’s health or age prevents them from visiting an exotic or natural place that’s always been on their bucket list. Especially during lock-down periods when it’s not possible to physically visit certain places. VR has educational, therapeutic, and amazing experiential uses.
I purchased an Oculus this week and performed a full review so that parents know exactly what the risks are and can make an informed decision about what’s best for their kids, now that virtual reality is mainstream. And as more games a videos offer a VR experience (YouTube has an entire VR channel), more kids are asking parents for an Oculus Quest 2. The most popular virtual reality (VR) hardware belongs to Meta’s Oculus (formerly Facebook).
