VR tech set to ease chronic pain?
Recent research underscores the transformative potential of virtual reality (VR) in enhancing physical activity.
The study reveals a remarkable 20% surge in enjoyment and a 15% increase in exercise duration when VR is integrated with cycling, addressing prevalent barriers like boredom, perceived effort, and pain.
As the Apple Vision Pro makes its debut in the market, the prowess of its M2 processor and R1 chip is poised to be thoroughly tested.
