Virtual reality: A medical training revolution during COVID-19
https://www.med-technews.com/medtech-insights/vr-in-healthcare-insights/virtual-reality-a-medical-training-revolution-during-covid-1/
The technology used in these VR applications tricks the brain into believing in another reality. For example, a patient on a hospital bed is virtually transported to an altered reality where the patient can enjoy an immersive experience of hiking in Machu Picchu or snorkelling under the Pacific Ocean or watching a serene sunset while sipping coconut water on a white sand beach. Called as VR distraction therapy, such virtual experience causes the brain to escape the present reality leading to less pain and anxiety.

Temple’s business school sees virtual reality as future of online learning
https://www.inquirer.com/business/remote-learning-vr-mba-20210423.html
a finance professor at Temple University and academic director of its online MBA, has tested that belief since March 2020, when he launched the class Fintech, Blockchain and Digital Disruption in a virtual reality, or VR, program.
It took 18 months to research the technology and build the course at a cost upward of $100,000. The finished product was completed with the help of Glimpse Group, a New York-based virtual reality and augmented reality company.
“When I teach classes on Zoom, there’s a disconnect,” Ozkan said. “When we asked students last year to compare their VR experience to Zoom, almost all of them said [VR] is better or much better. Which is why we decided to offer it again this year.”
When the 18 students enrolled in the seven-week accelerated course this semester put on their VR headsets, they entered one of two lecture halls modeled after actual rooms on the Temple campus. Students customize their avatars before the semester.
