    And for businesses, VR simply has not proven to have a cost benefit worth even the initial capital investment, without even taking into account ongoing IT costs due to damaged equipment.

    That’s just not true. Companies of all sizes are using VR for onboarding and training with much success and a huge return on investment. There are also a lot of location-based and VR arcades making a nice profit.

    VR may never go mainstream, but for businesses there are a lot of use cases for which it is valuable.

      What are some companies/industries using it for onboarding/training and how are they applying it? Haven’t heard about this.

      Maybe if you’re in the military or space industry, otherwise I can’t see any practical use in commercial business.

      No one wanted to wear them even for meetings while they were isolated, and that requires the bare minimum of effort

        They’re used quite a bit in architecture and real estate surveying/imaging. VR is a great way to view a building that hasn’t been built yet, for instance.
