Everyone knows, in theory, that sugary soft drinks will make us fat.
But imagine watching a virtual-reality avatar of yourself sipping a soda. In the simulation, time flies by at super speed. With each sip, you see your hips and waist expanding. In the space of two minutes, you can see the effects of two years of accumulated globs of fat on your body.
This is just one example of how recent collaborations between health-care researchers and makers of virtual-reality simulations may promise a breakthrough in preventive care.
