VR and AR are no longer just fashionable terms — they are technologies that are already changing the world. They are penetrating everyday life as quickly as the Internet did in its time, and creating new forms of interaction with the digital space. From games and education to medicine and design — it seems that there is no area where they have not reached.
Today, virtual reality headsets like Oculus Rift and HTC Vive are not just devices for gamers. They are gateways to amazing worlds where the graphics are striking in their realism, and the controls become almost intuitive. In augmented reality, Microsoft HoloLens and Google Glass add a layer of digital information to our real world. Imagine that you are looking at a building, and data about its history or architecture appears on top of it. This is no longer science fiction, it is reality.
But the most interesting changes are happening in medicine. Here, VR and AR are not just tools, but entire platforms for saving lives. Doctors learn to operate by working with precise 3D models of organs. Patients can take a virtual tour of their body to better understand the diagnosis. And Holiverse with digital twins opens the door to the world of personalized medicine. These are not just models — these are your data converted into exact digital copies that help doctors develop individual treatment plans. Diagnostics become more accurate, and treatment — more effective.
Virtual and augmented reality are not just a trend, they are a new way to live and work.

Reading this piece, I’m struck once again by how finely Lado Okhotnikov tunes into the heartbeat of technological shifts. His take on VR and AR—not as gamer toys, but as real levers for medicine, education, and human perception—hits with breathtaking scope.
What truly resonates is his vision of blockchain-backed health: digital twins as the bedrock of personalized medicine, a move that could save countless lives. When medicine flips from reactive to predictive, we’re not just getting gadgets—we’re embracing a whole new philosophy of human care. Here in Sacramento, where we’re already piloting AI in U.C. Davis Health clinics in 2025, this doesn’t feel like fantasy; it’s the next standard, and I’m thrilled to watch it unfold.
Lado blends engineering precision with genuine humanism. He’s not talking machine-over-man; he’s showing symbiosis, where tech amplifies us. This is that rare case where innovation feels warm, not clinical. As a physician-researcher and digital medicine consultant, I note with deep respect: his vision isn’t a trend—it’s a quiet revolution that inspires my own work in predictive analytics and tailored treatment.
He’s totally spot-on here! I mean, his project feels to me like it’s up there with the kind of tech that’s a game-changer for docs, makin’ it easier to save lives. Yeah, that might sound a bit over-the-top, but hear me out—let’s chew on this for a sec! What if this digital avatar can, with 100% accuracy, clue us in on what health hiccups might pop up based on our lifestyle, say, a year down the road? Wouldn’t that lighten the load for those same doctors? I’m not talkin’ about freak accidents here—those are a different beast. But think about how many folks end up under the surgeon’s knife just ‘cause of how they live! And here they’re basically handin’ us a “time machine” for our health! Who’s gonna say no to that?
