XR, VR, AR in scientific research

Good article here: Why scientists are delving into the virtual world. But, it is clear tha XR, VR, AR, etc. are not really used (yet) for actual scientific research, but other ancillary functions such as:

• Virtual meetings.
• Training students.
• Educational outreach.
• Controlling your lab machines / robots remotely.

Here's a good quote: "VR offers a repeatable, standardized clinical training method that is not reliant on the quality of the trainer." Or, being able to access an actual simulation lab or medical dummy.

Now all you need is a set of VR goggles & a super-fast Internet connection!
