While its development is primarily motivated by the gaming industry, virtual reality has a number of potential uses for science and technology. Particular applications for which the immersion in a virtual environment can be advantageous include:
- exploring complex datasets
- training, especially if the real environment is not accessible
- dangerous environment exploration
- demonstration & marketing
