Police looking through all the cameras around your city from a first person perspective in VR?
And the army using VR to see through drones & soldiers etc?
That's all great potential. But it's not happening as any form of primary/mainstream tactic. The cops here in Texas don't have VR Kits in their police vehicles, bro. lol
I mean more for police surveillance though, those people that sit back at the command center all day staring and switching between 24 x 22" screens. Surely VR could make that better for them.
And I'm sure I read something a while back about two other things...one of them was the army using VR but I'm not sure what for. And the 2nd was using VR in court rooms to show the Jury a crime scene in VR.

How would VR be better than looking at screens of surveillance cameras? Especially monitoring multiple streams all day... real monitors would surely be better and more comfortable, not to mention the resolution issues. Having your face strapped into a headset for any length of time has to bring some benefit that can't be had by simply looking at a 2D screen, otherwise there's no point.

I can give you a perfect example mate.
But before I start...I didn't say the person sits in a chair all day for a 12 hour shift with a VR headset. But the VR technology can be very useful in conjunction with their current setup.
So for example, let's just say I worked for the police in a surveillance team. I'm sat in the office all day. Most of the time I just pick up on petty crime like pickpockets in busy town centers etc. When I spot one and I'm following him around from camera to camera (CCTV) which we have millions of around all major cities across the globe now. I can then put on a VR HMD at that spacific moment in time and view my suspect as if my head is that camera in the street, and when I turn my head the camera turns in the street. And I can use hand gestures and voice commands to zoom, take pictures, record, report back to local police etc.
And in VR it could be as if I'm stood in that particular street. From that perspective, if you can imagine what I am trying to say? This could make surveillance a lot easier imo and also could have added benefits of been able to see more clearly what the bad guy looks like in a virtual space. As long as the camera that is giving the feed back to the HMD at that particular time is streaming in high definition but I'm not sure what resolution it sends the feed.

i am really pissed off on the lack of "PROPER" content for VR gaming..Quest is a good idea to spread VR but now we see already released games ported for Quests, and still no proper game for high end VR even moths after release of the new headset..
VR Headsets are all around, this and that, but where are the games ffs, all we have is early access stupid shooting fests, and yes beatsaber and space pirate trainer are stupid too..Not enough characters and stories to keep VR excited. Yes it was "WOW" when i first saw the Oculus intro but you get get used to even great sex..
We need good games with good stories and good characters, and i think Sony gets it

I agree.I too think there is something to be said for less is more. I dunno about you but I must have 1000 software titles or more and have maybe played 10% for more than 10 mins.
I can't remember what. It is called but there is an accepted thing where too much choice is bad, and when faced with too many options people just freeze and cant make a decision and end up not doing anything. I get this with gaming sometimes. Faff about for 30 mins deciding what to play before realising I have wasted half my free time.
VR doesn't need heaps of titles it just needs a couple of decent examples of each genre so there is something for everyone.
For me I was there long ago but I think the argument that there is bot enough top quality VR titles is pretty weak these days
Bottom line we are spoilt these days
