As a guy who has used the Samsung Gear VR on many occasions, and also the Google cardboard from the early days, I have always believed VR is for commercial use while AR is what will be used by everybody else. Seating at home and looking around gets tiring pretty quickly, but that wont be the case in a commercial setup. My startup is focusing on this but I want to use several gear VR devices all in sync, which can make it possible, lets say, to showcase a real estate property in a real estate exhibition, or showcase tourism features like the great wilder beast migration (am a Kenyan) to a group of tourists on behalf of a touring firm. That can extend to even shooting weddings in 360 degrees, etc. I also have focus in using 360 degrees pictures and videos that can be somehow interactive (Not planning on starting a war on how 360 isn't VR) Anyway, now I just have to overcome trying to fund it and the depression of not being able to yet.

Do you mean aside from games? I run a company focused on VR games, but I'm not sure if you're excluding that use case.

Search for "car virtual reality" It's used in auto design and eventually sales.

My startup is working on VR app for overcoming fears & phobias. Imagine you can practice giving speech in front of audience. Or learning to relax in a social event.

There are already bunch of such startups but we are integrating a few more sensors and meditation techniques in our app.
