A buddy of mine is looking to work with the rift + body sensors to develop training / therapy simulations that incorporate biofeedback. They are not a gaming company so if anyone happens to be interested in something like this feel free to get in touch with them at redkiteproject.com

I know of several companies that are already doing that, for example I know the founders of this one:

They're already on clinical trials.

This is more emotional / therapeutic stuff, but thanks for the cool link.

Ahh, I hadn't thought of that angle :).

Kinect is a really cool enabling technology, I've seen several interesting applications, and I'm sure there are a lot more.

I guess Rift is going to do the same.
