[quote]Virtual reality (VR) has potential to revolutionize some aspects of medicine and healthcare. Several medical specialties are already using it to train physicians and assist diagnosis and it also has potential for treatment. A group of cardiologists has now successfully used a VR device to guide the opening up (revascularization) of a chronically blocked right coronary artery. Their report is published in the [I]Canadian Journal of Cardiology[/I].[/quote]

VR and AR are gonna be cool for games, but the real use will be in the biomedical and military sectors.
