Finance may not be the first sector people think of for virtual reality, but it is becoming a more plausible use case as spatial computing moves into wealth management, training and client interaction. Deloitte’s 2025 investment-management trends explicitly identify spatial computing as a significant theme and suggest it could be used across learning, client interactions and wealth-planning functions. The example given is clear: a client could put on a VR headset at home and work through wealth-planning scenarios in a more interactive space.

Entertainment has always thrived on emotion, spectacle and participation, which is why virtual reality continues to attract serious interest across the sector. In 2025 and 2026, reporting from Forbes on AWE and the Producers Guild’s Innovation Showcase highlighted how immersive experiences are moving further into the mainstream, with major venues, studios and creators experimenting with more interactive forms of storytelling and audience engagement.

Education is one of the most natural fits for virtual reality because learning often improves when people can experience a subject rather than only read about it. VR makes that possible by placing learners inside simulations, reconstructions and virtual labs that bring concepts to life. Recent 2025 and 2026 research continues to show growing momentum behind VR in schools, universities and professional education, while official NHS England materials show immersive training already being used at scale across health education settings.

The automotive sector is under constant pressure to improve speed, quality and efficiency across design, production and workforce development. Virtual reality is helping address that challenge by giving businesses immersive environments for simulation, training and product exploration. Recent reporting shows this trend accelerating: Reuters reported this week that ABB is working with Nvidia to improve robotic training in virtual factory environments, targeting sectors including automotive, while wider industry analysis continues to point to VR’s growing role in design, manufacturing, training and customer engagement.

Virtual reality is becoming increasingly valuable in aerospace because it allows highly technical procedures to be practised in a safe, repeatable and immersive environment. In a sector where precision matters and errors can be costly, VR gives engineers, trainees and maintenance teams the chance to build confidence before stepping into real-world tasks. Recent academic work on aircraft maintenance training found that VR can improve student engagement and competency development, while newer aviation training research continues to show momentum behind scalable, AI-enhanced VR platforms for complex technical learning.
