Welcome to the Mootrix. 🐮⁠ ⁠ In a bid to get more and better milk out of their cows, Russian farmers have taken to strapping specially-modified virtual reality headsets on their cows’ heads and giving them relaxing, pleasant virtual experiences.⁠ ⁠ It’s not clear whether the milk improved as a result, but the cows seemed happier while looking at a VR field than they were while faced with the grim reality that they were trapped in a crowded farm.⁠ ⁠ And if that doesn’t work, maybe the farmers could try letting the cows roam around an actual field.
