Virtual Reality – Introduction
Last Updated : 27 Jun, 2024
Virtual Reality places the viewer inside a moment or a place, made possible by visual and sound technology that makes the brain into believing it is somewhere else. It is an experience of a world that does not exist.
Sounds cool, right?
Virtual Reality tricks one’s mind using computers that allow one to experience and more interestingly, interact with a 3D world.
What is Virtual Reality?
Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology that creates a simulated environment, allowing users to feel like they are in a different place or world. VR puts you inside a computer-generated world that feels real. It does this by using special equipment that covers your eyes and sometimes your ears called VR Headset. Virtual Reality creates a believable, interactive 3D environment that you can explore and interact with, making you feel like you are really there. This is made possible by putting on a head-mounted display that sends a form of input tracking. The display is split between the eyes and thus creates a stereoscopic 3D effect with stereo sound to give you a graphic experience.
The technology feeds in the images of the objects taken at slightly different angles which creates an impression of depth and solidity. The LCD or OLED panels inside are refracted by lenses completely fill the field of vision with what is to be displayed and experienced. Together with the technology and the input tracking, it creates an immersive and exciting believable world that the computer generates. What we know today as VR, has been existing for decades now. Taking you back to when 360° paintings took the world by surprise, giving a virtual element.
VR merely is ‘The Wise Guy’ of the digital world. It creates a world that neither functions according to you, nor does it respond to your actions. It gives you a first-hand experience with even the after-effects of an event along with the ability to interact and interrelate with the world created. This technology holds vast potential insights into the workings of the Human Brain.
Types of Virtual Reality (VR)
On the basis of the most important feature of VR i.e. immersion and the types of systems and interfaces used, The VR systems can be classified into 3 types :
1. Immersive 2. Semi-immersive
1. Input Devices
Input devices in VR are the tools for the users to interact with virtual world. Using Input devices , the users communicates with the computer.
Example – 3D mouse.
2. Output devices
Output devices is used to represent the virtual world and it’s effect to the users. It generates the feeling
Basics of Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality or A.R is a way by which technology can change how we perceive the world around us. It's also very useful in various fields, but first, we need to know what is augmented reality and how it is different from virtual reality. What is Augmented Reality? Augmented reality is made up of the word "augment" which means to make something
