Healthcare and XR are common combinations when reporting on the growing immersive industry. Immersive training is notably finding a foothold in the sector.

Immersed claims Visor is the future of remote work. Critics claim it's a scam. Today I attended the first demo event in search of the truth. Immersed covered the cost of my flights from the UK to its event in Texas, which made it possible for me to attend.
