It fits quite nicely. Thanks again for your comments. I hadn’t thought about the pareto rule applied to the senses, but that’s so true. It fits quite nicely. Thanks again for your comments.

It is interesting to see the pareto rule applied to our senses; we use ~20% of our senses ~80% of the time. With vision and audio being the dominant senses, it is understandable that immersive technology has the most growth in this area (vs smell/taste). Touch immersion is starting to develop with haptics, since displays and speakers are getting close to producing perceptually real sights and sounds. Once these combine, there will be some amazing educational tools! (consider practice surgery on a perceptually real patient) Excellent breakdown of how we use our senses!
