Virtual reality seeing pickup in enterprises, not by consumers

While Virtual Reality (VR) has seen a slow pick-up with consumers in India, the immersive technology is seeing a significant use-case among enterprises, which are using VR headsets to offer a realistic training ground for worker safety training in critical industries such as oil and gas, according to Salone Sehgal, founding general partner at venture caiptal firm Lumikai.

“The bulky and cumbersome form factor for VR is a problem for consumer experiences. The headsets are still big and chunky and can make users nauseous after 20-30 minutes of use. However, if you look at enterprises, it’s a very important tool.
