VR / Spatial Computing
Spatial computing without the science project
Immersive products earn their keep when they help someone rehearse work that is expensive or unsafe in the real world.

Headset demos are easy to admire and hard to keep. The difference is whether the experience has a job.
Training, rehearsal, and spatial explanation are honest jobs. Walking through a branded void is not.
Design the rehearsal loop
A useful spatial product has a loop: demonstrate, practice, review. Without the review, you have a ride. With it, you have a system an institution can run.
The instructor console matters as much as the headset. If only the wearer can see what happened, the organization cannot adopt the product.
Comfort is a requirement
Session length, locomotion, and visual noise are product requirements. They decide whether someone can finish the module. A nauseating training tool will not be scheduled twice.
Pair the world with the web
Most spatial products still need a web surface: assignment, progress, evidence. Build that from the start. The headset is the place of practice. The institution lives everywhere else.
That pairing is how mixed reality becomes a platform instead of a one-off experience.
