The immersive nature of virtual reality makes the often dull world of finance more compelling for people. Immersive learning environments provide visual and tactile stimuli. Oculus Rift powered the virtual experience. Additionally, a leap motion 3D controller enabled them to interact with it. That includes banking.

While many other AR glasses (like Nreal Light or HoloLens 2 ) have a Field Of View in the 50° ballpark, RealMax glasses have always had ones above 100° , for a more immersive augmented experience. And after you try it, you can’t go back, because it is SO MUCH immersive, augmented reality really becomes your reality.
