Ben Taylor says "Immersive technologies, adopted from the gaming industry, are going to transform the quality and availability of training and communication across the healthcare industry. Technologies often seen as gimmicks, such as virtual reality and 3D ‘games’, are now maturing to a stage where they are viable solutions to industry and business challenges, not only improving engagement but delivering better results at a lower cost. Virtual Reality (VR) in particular has been used for some time, more notably in the surgical space.

As hardware rapidly improves and drops in price, alongside new technologies and infrastructure coming to market, the business case for immersive technology solutions more than makes sense."
