Computer Technology : Virtual Reality

Virtual reality, also known as VR or computer simulated reality, is a new computer technology that mimic an real or imagined environment, VR simulates a user's physical presence and environment.it does this in a way that allows the person to touch and interact with it. VR aims artificially create a sensory experience for the user, which can include touch, Sight, Smell, and Hearing.

Virtual reality(VR) is a relatively new frontier in the technology industry. So new in fact, that, at its current stage, what it is and its potentials are unfamiliar to the general public. VR originally started gaining momentum as a new platform to game on, but its potential must be analyzed broadly in more than just one vocation. Because of the immersion VR provides, it has an immense capacity to benefit the educational field. Everyone is unique in the way they learn best; some people learn best by reading, some people learn audibly better, and, some people learn visually.

When it comes to augmented reality, we're looking at something that has found more success in the consumer space when compared to virtual reality. We've seen several applications with AR, along with video game and hardware devices such

There are many new and emerging technologies that have come around that have changed the field of healthcare as we know it. One of the biggest of these is Virtual Reality, which once was but a dream of how amazing and advanced the future would be, is now is evolving into a legitimate reality. And the new innovations of this tech have been greatly helping Health Care in many ways, from helping patients with extreme phobias or PTSD, to training doctors for surgery. Virtual Reality (VR) is defined as “The computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with

Computer graphics are graphics created using computers and, more generally, the representation and manipulation of image data by a computer. The development of computer graphics has made computers easier to interact with, and better for understanding and interpreting many types of data. Developments in computer graphics have had a profound impact on many types of media and have revolutionized animation, movies and the video game industry.

Virtual reality, or VR, is an idea that has been around since the 1900’s with some traces of it showing up in the 1800’s. VR itself refers to a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with in a number of ways, the most common being through VR headsets like the Oculus Rift. Such headsets are designed with lens in front of your eyes to enlarge an LED display, providing a wide range of viewing area and is usually combined with audio to provide an immersive experience. Although this idea has been around for multiple lifespans, it has only recently began to make any major impact on society. VR started catching people’s eye in gaming when the company Oculus released the Oculus DK1 for sale in March, 2013. Although VR has slowly become

This has been the most common trend among avid video game players and movie-lovers. Many people loved to experience virtual reality. However, nobody realized that this might also cause problem in the future, wherein people will no longer rely on the real experience and will only depend on computer programs to gain such feeling

Virtual 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.

Using AR- enabled glasses the user can take on another reality they are seeing. AR combines the virtual world with reality. When users put on their glasses “Algorithms…guiding your life will turn visual” due to new facial recognition being combined with AR will cause you to “only

To discuss Lanier’s keen views and anticipations regarding Virtual Reality back in the mid 1980s, it would be useful to first cover exactly how far Virtual Reality has progressed up until today. This essay will begin by discussing the history of Virtual Reality and the usage trends. That discussion will then be used to preface a discussion about Lanier’s views that were expressed in A Vintage Virtual Reality Interview. The essay will then finish off by looking at particularly interesting views held by some of today’s futurists and these views will be related back to Lanier’s original exuberant view of Virtual

Virtual reality is slowly creeping its way into the lives of every day Americans. Whether it be training a new employee for a job, teaching students, or assisting in military applications, virtual reality is all around us now. Virtual reality is not only putting a pair of fancy goggles on and going on a beachfront vacation. Video games and social media are both forms of virtual reality. Video games allow you to enter a different world. Social media allows people to be totally different characters online. While these two examples are not as immersive as the actual goggles based virtual reality, both are a part of most people's lives and they offer the ability to escape through a screen. Too much of a good thing can transform into a bad

Augmented Reality (AR) is technology that allows virtual objects to be layered on to the actual environment in real time. Together, this creates a space called mixed reality. The layers allow detailed information about the world to be visually present whilst wearing the device. AR browsers can enhance camera display with information that is relevant to the place you are at. If you point the device to a building, it can display the details of the building on the building.

In a business world technology been driven by powerful digital forces, disruption and growth in innovation in every company (Deloitte Consulting, 2016). Technology confined in every operation and execution of a business. In the present situation technologies are driving forces behind product design, create business models and makes competitive among organisation. At the same time technology offer great advantage for authentic environment for an organisation and people. Dealing with today’s situation application of Virtual Reality (VR) seems to given excellent promise in providing an alternative “real life” environment in situation where it is impossible for people to experience. Traditional architectural environments are no longer able to effectively accommodate clients’ expectations and demand. Thus, this study attempts to incorporate VR technology in order to create authentic and real life viewing environment for people who wants to see their future homes and buildings. As well as to get to know how VR eliminates the traditional separation between operator and machine, providing more of direction and spontaneous interaction with information. In this report there will be three parts that illustrate such as basic information and definition of VR, history, advantage and disadvantages of VR. Second would be personal perspective on research findings and finally discussion about potential opportunities for firms to invest in the future on VR technology.

Virtual reality defined as to produce and create the effect of an interactive 3D world in which the objects have a sense of spatial presence by using computer technologies. Our perceptual and cognitive system will be presented by precise clues in order for our brain to interpret and understand those clues as outside object in 3D world. In addition, virtual reality suggest a lot of benefits and advantages to education of technical such as delivery information through multiple active channels, addressing of dissimilar learning styles, experiential-based learning and so on ( Bell & Fogler, 2004, p 217).

Seeing is believing, these words are the best combination to understand the meaning of Virtual Reality (VR). VR is one of the best asset and aspect of our future. No other technology has seen such a revolution like VR has. It is practically in use in almost every field such as entertainment, gaming, defense, robotics, medical, healthcare, military, education, fashion, heritage, business, engineering and many more fields. VR sometimes called Virtual Environment has drawn much attention in the last two decade. Extensive media coverage causes the much more rapid increase in the interest of the masses. Very few people, however, really know what VR is and what are its open problems are. In this report a historical overview of virtual reality is presented, basic terminology as an introduction are listed, followed by applications of this technology in science, work, and entertainment areas. Its present developments are thoroughly discussed in this report. Finally, the future of VR is considered in two aspects: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR on life of average people is speculated.
