What is Virtual Reality ?

Real-time simulation and interactions in an imaginary world.

Is interactive in real-time Aligns users to enter and interact with virtual objects.

Virtual reality (VR), which can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer simulated reality, replicates an environment that simulates a physical presence in places in the real world or an imagined world, allowing the user to interact in that world. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experiences, which can include sight, touch, hearing, and smell.

HISTORY :Ø More than one person has been involved in the development of

this technological system. Ø In 1950’s visionary cinematography Morton Heilig built a single

user console called Sensorama. This enabled the user watch television in 3 dimensional ways.

Ø In 1965, Ivan Sutherland envisioned “Ultimate Display” which was later termed as “The Sword of Damocles”

Ø In 1991, first commercial entertainment VR system “Virtuality” was released.

Ø The Oculus Rift Kickstarter in 2012 bought it back into mainstream awareness, and made it more generally affordable.

Types Of Virtual Reality :

Large display but doesn’t surround the user.

Perception of being physically present in a non-physical

world.

Displaying a 3-dimensional virtual on regular desktop without use of any specialized

movement tracking environment.

Non-Immersive Immersive Window On World

VR BENEFITS
