First post on this forum but thought you might all find this very interesting.
I am studying at a college that specialises in nuclear. They have dedicated a room to VR and inside have 4 HTC Vive Pro's with the wireless kits, as well as 4 PC's with an i9 7940X, GTX 1080, and 32GB ram each.
The idea is that for us who are training to work in the nuclear power industry, the VR can simulate scenarios that would be very dangerous for us to train in or impossible. One such scenario could be where a radioactive source must be contained and dealt with, or one I have done is putting out a electrical fire (selecting the correct type of extinguisher) and then dealing with a casualty. All in a smoke filled room.
This is one application I think VR is very good for because especially with nuclear, there is lots of training we undergo in the case of an emergency. However simulating an emergency can be quite hard, and in VR it is safe to make mistakes
