Audience
Doctors, Researchers, Graduate Students, Businesses and Medical Representatives.
Goal
To educate other medical professionals and the general public using VR.
Current Situation:
There are many applications of VR in the medical world, but most practitioners don’t have the time or expertise to create VR apps.
Why Gap Occurred ?
Medical technology tends to be very complicated, so there’s an expectation that VR is similar. With InstaVR, that’s not the case.
