VR allows engineers and designers to experiment easily with the
look and build of a vehicle before commissioning expensive
prototypes. Brands such as BMW and Jaguar Land Rover already
use VR to hold early design and engineering reviews to check the
visual design and object obscuration of the vehicle --all before any
money has been spent on physically manufacturing the parts.

Health care
VR can also be used as a treatment for mental health issues, with
Virtual Reality Exposure Therapy thought to be particularly
effective in the treatment of PTSD and anxiety. There are many
other ways spending time in VR can have therapeutic benefits.

Tourism
Thomas Cook launched their'Try Before You Fly'VR experience in
2015, where potential holidaymakers visit stores in various
countries to experience the holiday in VR before booking it. There
was a 190% uplift in New York excursions bookings after people
tried the 5- minute version of the holiday in VR.
Google Expeditions is another way tourism can become more
accessible. Users can travel the world from the comfort of their
own home, allowing people of all ages and backgrounds to explore

Sports
The way that we watch sports is already changing, with several VR
companies specializing in watching live sports events. For example,
you can watch the NBA, NFL, and other events in VR.
Companies such as LiveLike VR enable broadcasters and sports
teams to deliver live sports viewing experiences on mobile VR.
This is a great way of opening up live sports events to people who
can't travel to the venue or can't afford tickets to watch the
sports.

Many real-life hobbies are available in VR, and the immersive
experience makes them all the more enjoyable and accessible. If
you are a fan of cultural activities, you can visit museums such as
the Natural History Museum in London or, if you're more of a thrill-
seeker, there's even a VR theme park opening in China. One of the
more unique ways VR is being used is by Galatea, who provide a
writing and narrative design management tool for immersive story
telling.
