VR in Healthcare in a Cool Starfighter Hanger Floating Above Vancouver! #VRARGS #VRDays #HLTH2019
Imagine chatting in a shared, immersive 3D space (social VR) about VR/AR and health/care while floating above one of the most beautiful cities in the world. Arriving through an animated Stargate, arrayed around and above you are giant VR headsets. As if the headsets are Star Wars-style starfighters, in some sort of repair bay. Yeah, I know, I'm stretching... But it's also really cool. Just remember these immortal Star Wars words: “Chewie, we’re home.” — Han Solo
