I really believe VR can solve many of the problems Western medicine/drugs can - without any nasty side-effects & damage to your body.

It's well established that the placebo effect is very powerful, and that fact demonstrates perfectly the power of the human mind. Your brain controls pain, and many of the symptoms you run to your doctor to fix.

For starters, if VR can bring down anxiety and/or stress levels, that's half the battle. You feel better immediately. From there, more specialised experiences can tackle specific conditions or complaints.

It sounds very hippy, but I do believe VR tech/experiences can provide major breakthroughs in patient (and non-patient) quality of life.

Meditation, stress-relief and well-being experiences are some of the things I'm looking forward to the most as VR matures.

Nice hunt.
