VR headsets aren't just for gamers anymore — surgeons are rehearsing operations, therapists are treating phobias, and architects are walking clients through buildings that haven't been built yet. We talked to practitioners across three industries to find out how immersive technology is reshaping the way professionals work, and what's still standing in the way of wider adoption.
Most VR setups are optimized for the first 20 minutes, not the first two hours. If you're hitting a wall of discomfort, lag, or nausea well before you're ready to quit, your rig has some fixable problems — and the headset manufacturer probably didn't warn you about any of them. This guide covers everything from PC thermal management to play space layout so you can actually go the distance.
Spending hundreds on a VR headset is one thing — but what good is cutting-edge immersion if you're yanking it off your face after half an hour?
