ヴァーチャルリアルティの利用は、決してゲームやビジネス、教育、医療だけではない。ノルウェーの軍では、比較的安価で購入できるVRのハードウェアOculus Riftを使用した利用検証が行われているようだ。

Virtual reality has become famous for its applications in video games. Now virtual reality is being used to help the armoured vehicle drivers, as driving an armoured vehicle is really hard job when inside the hatch. The technology is being adopted by the Norwegian military and contains an Oculus Rift headset. Now, soldiers no longer require to keep their heads above the hatches. Actually a number of cameras are attached with the vehicle that capture the video of the surrounding and send it to the headset. This idea makes the vehicle virtually transparent. The experimental verification of the system has been accomplished in Norway.
