Introduction of Virtual Reality to Interior and Architectural
Design
Is it ready for the mass use?
Virtual reality (VR) typically refers to computer technologies that use software to
generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real
environment (or create an imaginary setting), and simulate a user's physical
presence in this environment, by enabling the user to interact with this space and
any objects depicted therein using specialized display screens or projectors and
other devices.
Wikipedia
The sensors track the head motion and readjust the environment accordingly.
Rotation concerns tilting of the head up and down/side to sideTranslation occurs when the viewer moves through the space
Virtual Reality technical implementation
● Accelerometer,
● Gyroscope,
● Proximity Sensor,
● Magnetometer
MTP (Motion to Photon) Latency
Vestibular mismatch - perceived difference between the body’s vestibular system and visual system
Motion sickness (nausea)
Comfortable MTP Latency less than 20ms
