What is Virtual Reality (VR)
VR (virtual reality) refers to computer technology that makes people feel as if they are elsewhere. Through software, users can create images, sounds, and other sensations to create the feeling of being in a different place. In this case, the other side could be real (to go on a tour abroad, for example) or imaginary (to play a make-believe game).
A headset is worn by the user, which contains a screen, speakers, and content to be displayed. A unique display screen, a projector, and other devices are used in this technology. A user's head movement often changes the picture. A virtual space may be able to be walked through, things may be seen from different directions, and items may be moved. In addition, haptic feedback can be used to help make it feel more real - haptic feedback uses gloves that simulate touching something in real life.
A virtual reality environment is different from an augmented reality experience, which depicts a person's actual place but alters or enhances it. A good example of augmented reality is Pokemon Go. Microsoft HoloLens and other augmented reality headsets are also available commercially.
Virtual reality is an immersive, three-dimensional, digital environment generated by a computer. Users can step inside an experience with VR, unlike traditional user interfaces that only let them view a screen. The user can immerse himself in an interactive 3D world that may be identical to the real world or differ entirely from it. (Related to augmented reality medical training, virtual reality medical training, and augmented reality and virtual reality medical education.)
Computers are transformed into gatekeepers of brand-new worlds by simulating senses from vision to hearing to touch. Content availability and computing power are the only limits to VR experiences.
NON-IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY
Because VR is so common in everyday life, non-immersive experiences are sometimes overlooked as virtual reality categories. The user still maintains awareness of their physical environment and has control over it despite being in a computer-generated environment. A computer or video game console, a display, and input devices like keyboards, mice, and controllers are all necessary for a non-immersive virtual reality system to function. Video games are excellent examples of non-immersive VR experiences.
SEMI-IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY
Virtual experiences that are semi-immersive provide users with a partial sense of immersion. It still gives users the sensation of being in a different reality when focusing on the digital image. Still, it also allows them to remain connected to their physical environment. In semi-immersive technology, 3D graphics provide realism, referred to as vertical reality depth. More detailed graphics create an immersive experience. A high-resolution display, powerful computer, projector, or challenging simulator partially duplicates the design and functionality of functional real-world mechanisms used in this category of VR.
FULLY IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY
Users are given the most realistic simulation experience through fully immersive simulations that feature sight and sound. A VR headset or head mount display (HMD) must experience and interact with fully-immersive virtual reality. A VR headset provides a wide field of view and high-definition content. With stereoscopic displays and input tracks, an immersive, believable experience is created by splitting the display between the user's eyes. It is typical for this type of VR to be used in gaming and other entertainment applications, but it is also increasingly used in other industries, especially education. There are endless possibilities for VR usage.
AUGMENTED REALITY
When something appears in reality but is not there, it is called Augmented Reality. Through any device, a virtual entity can be placed in the real world rather than in the virtual world. You can view your room through your smartphone and perhaps set a cartoon character in one corner. Rather than seeing the character in person, you'll see it on your mobile screen. Most businesses use it, such as furniture suppliers or decorators. Through his phone display, a person can place a table in his room if he wants to buy one. He will know whether this table is suitable for his room and looks good there or if he needs to choose another style. It is often argued that augmented reality is a unique technology rather than virtual reality. However, it is often categorized as VR because of its ability to place entities virtually.
COLLABORATIVE VR
Interaction between people from various locations within a virtual environment, usually via 3D or projected characters, is called a virtual world.
For example, a video game called PUBG (Player Unknown Battleground) allows players to control virtual characters. Using microphones, headsets, and chatting, they can communicate with each other. People increasingly use virtual meeting rooms for business meetings or debate competitions to conduct business remotely. This type of VR is designed to facilitate collaboration between people.
