Dell wants to bring virtual reality to the enterprise

Virtual reality isn’t just about gaming. If it’s going to be a $30 billion business by 2020 (as predicted by tech adviser Digi-Capital), it’s going to have trigger growth in a lot of markets. Dell believes that VR will make an impact in the enterprise workstation business, as companies will have to upgrade their visualization machines to be VR-ready.

With that in mind, Dell is today unveiling three new workstation tower computers that can handle the demanding visuals of VR, which must run at least 90 frames per second in each eye in order to avoid making users seasick. If VR really catches on in the enterprise, it could boost demand for workstations, said Rahul Tikoo, executive director and general manager of Dell Precision workstations, in an interview with VentureBeat.
