Virtual Reality (VR) is transforming various sectors, including real estate and training, by enabling immersive experiences and enhancing interactivity. However, challenges such as limited disk space, bandwidth, and screen real estate persist. Innovative VR applications, supported by organizations like DISA and the USMC, showcase VR's potential in operations, medical training, and even urban warfare. As we navigate these technological advances and address underlying issues, we can harness VR's capabilities for engaging experiential learning and visualizations.
