Virtual Reality can boost the effectiveness of post-traumatic stress disorder counseling therapy. The trauma in question might be a car crash or any other deeply disturbing, emotionally upsetting event. Brain Man VR Therapy Rooms is a spin off business of Brain Man VR. It enables people to attend therapy sessions remotely using a VR headset.

In 2013 I interviewed Prof Mel Slater about the future of virtual reality. Predicting the future of anything is riddled with uncertainties. But he did a fine job of it regardless. :-)

If we don’t start doing business more sustainably global warming will soon scorch the whole planet and us with it. Virtual reality can play an important role in helping to reduce unnecessary journeys, and therefore carbon emissions, without losing the magic touch of in-person communication.

The rise in remote working has led people to feel increasingly isolated. Virtual Reality can change that when used by colleagues to create the utterly convincing illusion of being in the same room as each other, despite being tens, hundreds or even thousands of miles apart.

While many companies vie to create the most lifelike avatars possible, at Brain Man VR (BMVR) we take a different approach. When people meet up in BMVR everyone is represented by a very simple, uncomplicated avatar. This is designed to send a clear message that what you look like really doesn’t matter, in business, it’s your brain that counts.
