There are LOTs of use cases.
Patient 'distraction' in heath care is a good example.
– CT scanners where people get claustrophobic.
– EVERY kids dentist (and adults too!) is going to want one etc. etc.- Interesting. Have any existing headsets that have been around for several years been used for these use cases?monospaced
- My kid's dentist just has a 14" monitor on the wall and that is more than enough for most kids it seems ;)monospaced

- if they were bold or believed in the space $999 price point but as it stands it's priced to fail unless you have a niche use casejonny_quest_lives
- Sony has sold 38.5 million PS5 consoles to date and has only sold 600,000 PS VR2 headsets at a price point of $549. VR is a niche product in any ecosystem.jonny_quest_lives
- dunno how Apple overcomes that at Three thousand four hundred ninety nine dollarsjonny_quest_lives
- sorry *Starting at $3499jonny_quest_lives
- Still can't have metal on you during a CT scan unless it's internal and even then you need to disclose at it effects the imaging...jonny_quest_lives
- CT is Xrays. The only thing metal is going to do it show up as opaque.monNom
- I want to meet the hospital insurance underwriter that will let you take a headset with a lithium battery back into an x-ray environment or MRI areajonny_quest_lives

- VR != ARaliastime
- @alias, acting like it's one or the other is silly. These would obviously do both and very well. Calm down. Of course they're for VR too.monospaced
