Deep dives
Cows in Turkey experience virtual reality to increase milk production
A dairy farmer in Turkey used virtual reality headsets to improve milk production. The farmer purchased VR headsets for two of his cows and used a program to make it look like each cow is all alone in a beautiful green pasture. This resulted in an increase in milk production, with the VR-wearing cows producing up to 27 liters of milk per day compared to the average of 22 liters from the other cows on the farm. The farmer believes that the simulated pasture gives the cows an emotional boost, leading to increased productivity.
