UK’s Visualisation Lab uses Virtual Reality to solve transportation issues

Engadget has a short piece on how the UK’s Transport Systems Catapult has launched its new “Visualisation Laboratory.”

"It’s called that because it depends on virtual reality to, in the agency’s own words “help generate innovation and overcome problems in the UK’s transport network.  The facility plans to install several VR systems in that lab, but its first and main one’s already in place: an omnidirectional treadmill around 20 feet in diameter paired with an Oculus Rift DK2."

I wonder how long it will take the Irish transport authorities to start using virtual reality?
