1. I think it can help researchers, students, and doctors visualize patients and molecular compounds used in drugs easier. For example, they could have virtual appointments or they could move around in virtual space to see the 3d rendered molecules of a drug. 2. Could potentially be used in therapy or calming down some patients. 3. If we ever develop more advanced tech in haptics, it may allow fully virtual appointments with doctors being able to conduct physical exams without touching the patients. It can also be useful for patients with sensory overload issues or just ones that don't like being touched.

@richard_gao2 Regarding point 2, I think we need to think about how to remove the sea sickness itself, from a long view of the virtual content.
