To counter: VR on the smartphone is great for visualizing preprocessed data. I love being able to view 3D research data on a comparatively cheap device and that I can share the visualization with everybody that has a phone, not only labs that have decided that it is worth it to buy a dedicated headset. Moreover, setup of the Cardboard is trivial compared to other headsets (no matter how easy it might be, you can not beat "just launch this youtube video").
- thearn4 10y agoOut of curiosity what sort of data and data visualization strategies would VR be particularly well suited for over more traditional visualization methods?
- krastanov 10y agoA good pitch would be: Medical diagnostics/pathology professionals are really exited about VR as (according to those I have spoken to) the 2D presentation of 3D data impedes making precise diagnosis (which VR solves).

- thearn4 10y agoMedicine does seem like a good possibility, though I'm not very familiar with the problem space.
