Russian cows get VR goggles. Virtual reality goggles for cows?
Farmers in Russia have apparently been experimenting with virtual reality goggles as a tool to relax cows and increasing milk production. Sets of virtual reality goggles, modified for the shape of cow heads and displaying a “unique summer field simulation program,” were placed on multiple bovines, according to a press release from the Ministry of Agriculture and Food in the Moscow region.
The VR glasses led to a notable “decrease in anxiety and an increase in the overall emotional mood of the herd,” according to the press release provided by Storyful. Bovines were outfitted with VR glasses, above. (Ministry of Agriculture and Food of the Moscow Region via Storyful) The program was reportedly developed on the basis of an analysis by Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands, which concluded that environmental conditions can significantly impact cattle health and the quality of milk.
Russian dairy farmers gave cows VR goggles with hopes they would be happier and make better milk. The technology is changing industries that many people had never thought it would, such as, *checks notes*, dairy farming?
And here you thought technology couldn't get any weirder. A farm just outside of Moscow is testing VR glasses for its cows, it says, in an effort to increase the quantity -- and quality -- of the milk produced. That's according to a news release published Monday from the Ministry of Agriculture of the Moscow region. It came accompanied by photos of a cow trying out its fancy new goggles. (We checked the date. The ministry rationalizes it like this: Studies have shown that cows' environmental conditions can impact the milk produced, specifically improving its quality or increasing its quantity.
So, a team of developers, with the help of veterinarians and consultants for dairy production, made some oversized VR glasses for cows. And what were these cows experiencing with their new VR glasses? Virtual Reality for the military, training and combat simulations - 2019. The army adopted Virtual Reality a long time ago, much earlier than commercial markets.
Who knows what the VR technology would be like nowadays if not billions of investments by the military from the very beginning. They had also financed the development of first effective headsets, a.k.a. HMDs. Today, the number of VR projects for the military is increasing, and by 2025 it is even expected to generate a significant $1.4 billion in revenues.
VR military applications Currently, VR is used by the military in all three major fields – ground, air and navy forces for flight and battlefield simulations, medical training, vehicle simulation, and virtual boot camps. . #1 VR Training About 1 in 20 deaths of soldiers happen during the training.

How we might use Virtual Reality in Agriculture - Carl Lippert - Medium. Virtual Reality (VR) is just for gamers right?
These crazy nerdy looking headsets you see on people’s faces have no practical value. Obviously. Well…. Thats probably not the case. The truth is VR might provide great new innovations for agriculture. Think of VR like the internet. Some things innovators might use VR for ( hopefully! Operator as a Service (OaaS) In a world filled with self driving everything there still is likely to be needs for human drivers in some cases. Ok fine. Consumer Education / Promotion There has never been a medium with such strong potential to allow agriculture to tell its story.
Practical Idea for 2017: Use 360° video on your operation. For those trying to sell products this will be the new medium you will be trying to meet consumers on. If you are an agriculture retailer selling to farmers you can use 360° video and VR to show people how your new machines work and train them in a way never before possible. Veterinary Diagnostics.

And the bigger the farm, the more people are involved. With innovative farm technologies – the staff needs complex training. Virtual training allows you to optimize the solution to this issue. Such training costs much less. Modern equipment is not cheap. Virtual training recreates a real working environment. It is necessary to train muscle memory, which works better than pure knowledge in extreme situations. Of course, there are video trainings or personal trainers. The augmented reality saves money on using the plants protection tools When you are aware of pests and diseases, as well as of the means to be used, it allows you to make an operational decision to save the crop and reduce costs.
You can conduct a survey of the field using virtual reality. How is it implemented? How does the augmented reality works in this case? Why Ukraine doesn’t apply this technology? Russian dairy farmers gave cows VR goggles with hopes they would be happier and make better milk.
