This is a really great concept and useful for other design-based companies such as furniture, décor, architecture. VR/AR is such as new and exciting function in the manufacturing space. There is a whole gambit of solutions that makes use of this technology all while benefitting the environment. There will always be the purists who prefer the analog, the tactile of touching and feeling the material as opposed to the digital. It will be interesting to watch this technology develop and how the industry reacts.
