622: Virtual Reality for Brain Health with Amir Bozorgzadeh

622: Virtual Reality for Brain Health with Amir Bozorgzadeh

When I was eleven years old, my grandmother predicted the demise of the personal computer. "Staring at the screen will ruin your eyes," she proclaimed. The same story is repeated with all new technology: initially it's met with resistance and fear, and later becomes so important in our lives that we cannot imagine life without it.

In recent years, virtual reality experienced a lackluster launch, and the metaverse is the butt of hundreds of jokes. The generally accepted belief is that VR is dead on arrival, and yet it's not. It just hasn't found its use case yet. But it will. On this week's podcast, you'll meet a VR start-up founder focused on the educational potential of virtual learning.

Listen to learn:

  • How VR brain games can help neurodivergent kids
  • Why VR hasn't really found its feet yet
  • Next steps in terms of VR use cases and consumer adoption
