Another good example of motion sickness is the simulation of rollercoaster rides in VR, which have been popular for awhile now. One can say that such simulators and demos did not only help to popularize VR, but also formed a stereotype about motion sickness being a fundamental part of the new platform, which is not necessarily true.

Flight simulators are VR for some people, and military funding to train pilots better is deeply involved in the origin story, which goes back to the 1920s according to some sources. If you can’t be in a flight simulator, the next best thing would be video. How much and what kind of medical education is now delivered virtually ?

This technology is being used today in healthcare, tourism, education and art and design. Virtual Reality (VR) , an advanced technology, places the user in a virtual environment or simulated space. The Michigan-based company uses VR technology to experience the prototypes in Virtual Reality since 2000.

Acadicus is a tool for medical simulations and for training, and works both with or without a virtual reality headset. It allows users to upload their own three-dimensional environments, edit it with scene-editing tools, then the user can invite people to explore the uploaded scenes together, and record the meetings or classes.
