EON Experience VR, available now on both Google Play and App Store, supports Android and iOS devices, such as the Samsung Note 4 and Apple iPhone 6, and mobile headsets, like Samsung Gear VR, Zeiss VR One and Google Cardboard. EON Experience VR is focused on education and training using augmented reality, immersive virtual reality, and interactive experiences. Through EON Experience VR, students and trainees learn by doing and visualizing complex concepts.

Using augmented and virtual reality, EON Experience VR places users into realistic situations that simulate patient visits, work environments, and labs or lessons where and when users need it, not just in the classroom or training center. —More info: www.eonreality.com.
