The Hardware Challenge

Today's VR headsets are large, heavy, and isolating. Motion sickness hits many users because the eyes detect movement that the inner ear does not, creating a sensory conflict.

The technology shines when it solves problems a flat screen cannot. A surgeon can rehearse on a 3D model of the exact patient before ever picking up a scalpel, spotting surprises while they are still harmless. That rehearsal turns a high-stakes first attempt into a second one.
