What applications of VR in medicine or education have impressed you?

VR is touted for everything from surgical training to immersive history lessons, but which applications in medicine or education have truly impressed you? Was it a VR platform that simulates heart surgery with haptic feedback, or an archaeological reconstruction that lets students wander ancient Rome? Maybe a language‑learning environment with interactive NPCs?

I'm incredibly impressed by VR's use in medical training, especially surgical simulations. The ability for aspiring surgeons to practice complex procedures repeatedly in a risk-free, highly realistic environment, even with haptic feedback, is revolutionary. It truly elevates skill acquisition and patient safety.

I was blown away by surgical training platforms that let medical students practice procedures repeatedly without risk. The haptic feedback makes incisions feel realistic, and the ability to reset and try different approaches is invaluable for building confidence and muscle memory.
