Medical professionals appear to have began warming up to virtual reality headsets. Or, better said, the idea of such tech solutions. But that’s more than enough reason to celebrate if you are a VR company. Especially if you used to have been much more but ended up stripped for parts after a series of horrible management decisions. Leaving you happy at any sign of a possibility that things might finally be looking up.

Cue today’s story from Seattle, where HTC Vive and Penumbra announced the REAL Immersive System, a customizable platform design to facilitate stroke recovery amid a wide patient demographic. Given the importance of rehabilitation in dealing with neurological trauma, modern medicine is progressively placing a gradually greater emphasis on any such activitiy with potential neuroplasticity benefits.

Those would be any factors helping the brain make sense of trauma by recompartmentalizing experiences in a way that helps a person better cope with trauma, whether physical, mental, or both, as is often the case with strokes. In effect, various VIVE VR headsets and other tech from HTC is now being put in use in stroke recovery through the said REAL Immersive System that HTC is hoping will expand beyond the U.S. in the future.

HTC is continuing to chug along the path toward virtual reality glory which it decided to traverse many years ago. And today, even as the overall global situation isn’t exactly ideal, the company actually seems to be in a decent position to start capitalizing on its early investments into VR technologies, both hardware and software alike.

Today, we are dealing with an update on the latter, as the American arm of the Taiwanese firm announced the U.S. launch of an open beta program for VIVE Sync, another VR app designed for the company’s head-mounted gadgets that seeks to enable remote collaborations virtually indistinghuishable from the real thing, if that makes sense.

Between remote surgery and Internet-enabled whiteboards, a surprisingly large number of today’s professions can actually be highly adaptable to this new work-from-home situation and today’s stateside debut of the VIVE Sync beta will hopefully go a long way toward proving that state of affairs, as per an official announcement from HTC.

Disclaimer: do not attempt to perform remote surgeries using this particular tool, it’s more like Facebook Spaces but with slightly less creepy characters instead of a highly specialized precision toolkit. The latter are on their way, as well, but largely depend on 5G rollouts in addition to VR hardware.

Taiwanese computer hardware veterans HTC and Gigabyte teamed up for something you don’t see everday: a gaming laptop VR bundled complete with a full-featured HDMI rig.

The latter, of course, comes in the form of the HTC Vive Cosmos or the Vive Cosmos Elite, depending on the exact package, though both combinations have today been introduced as part of the so-called Cosmos Series x AORUS 15G package.

The titular AORUS 15G is Gigabyte’s latest Windows gaming notebook which leaves very little to be desired no matter where you look. The kicker, naturally, is the price of this high-end tie-up. As neither of these two brands parts with their flagship offerings that easily. And the sole fact they have now temporarily joined forces hardly means either is eager to throw away the idea of healthy profit margins, aka the number one motivator for being in the highly competitive gaming PC market in the first place.

Especially when it comes to laptops, and even then, especially when you are looking for VR-optimized portable machines. As even today’s most powerful notebeooks are hardly made with VR in mind, but this bundle promises to change your mind about the portability of such room-scale, digitally surreal entertainment.

Oh, so long as you can afford the $2,249/$2,449 price tags attached to the two AORUS 15G packages containing the Vive Cosmos and Vive Cosmos Elite, respectively.
