10+ virtual reality apps transforming education – Haptical Recent reports indicate, by 2025 virtual reality will mostly disrupt the video game industry followed by health care, live events and engineering. However, there is one other area that may have the most pervasive impact; education. VR can provide low-cost, low-risk and effective methods of training that all industries may benefit. Here are some examples of the virtual reality apps that have already started this transformation.

Mobile VR and the Web (which is already mobile) - 3dspace If 87% of VR headsets in consumers’ hands (or on their heads) are mobile VR – then the experiences we create will have to give good UX on mobile VR. I’m a web guy, and I’m fascinated by the onset of VR. And as a web guy, I’m convinced that mobile VR will be essential to the 3D web. I was considering picking up some of the high-end VR goggles and experimenting with technologies like WebVR. The “easy way” to get into VR these days is with mobile VR. Based on a number of factors, I’ve decided to take the plunge into mobile VR, and leave that high-end stuff alone for now. First up – the web is already mobile. But here’s the kicker: Mobile VR headsets are projected to account for 87% of headset deliveries in the near future. We hear a great deal about the debut of the big non-mobile VR rigs these days – and fair enough. But while they count for 77% of sales – they only account for 13% of actual headsets.
