Very impressed with the new Oculus Quest - WIRELESS standalone VR with 6DoF room scale tracking, and all for the price of a console! The lack of wires is so freeing and it has so much potential for use in fitness, rehabilitation and therapy

Great event by ImmerseUK last night discussing the use of VR for pain and distraction and the future of implementing it within the NHS!
