Hilarious Reactions to Virtual Reality

2016  will be VR year - Facebook (Oculus), Samsung, Sony and HTC will all releasing VR sets and scenes like these will I suspect become common place.
But for now let us enjoy watching fellow human beings look silly - next year it will probably be you! On the serious side, these devices could prove invaluable in simulated training of manual tasks such as surgery, which is why I am very interested in their development.

High Fidelity Surgical Training

This is an excellent example of high fidelity simulation of a difficult surgical procedure.
As one surgeon in the video says it is now unacceptable for a surgeon to go through a learning curve whilst operating on patients. A smart device like this not only recreates the procedure but cleverly, is able to give feedback to the surgeon.
Much more of this is required. Surgeons are clever and resourceful. Colleges of surgeons should be encouraging and incentivising young surgeons to do what this clever chap from Holland has achieved.

Must Buy for Gamers... and Future Surgeons

This looks awesome! The future of surgical training is simulation and kit like this will become an integral part of a training room/lab
