Virtual Reality or VR creates a simulated environment using computer technology. It is a virtual space similar to a space present in the real world or a visual map of a location in someone’s imagination.
Virtual Reality or VR creates a simulated environment using computer technology. It is a virtual space similar to a space present in the real world or a visual map of a location in someone’s imagination. Some basic applications for virtual reality include education, entertainment, and even business.
Virtual reality is usually an artificial environment created by using two of five senses. These are usually sight and sound, but there are some examples where smell, taste, and touch have also been used. Such an image or 3D map is created by computer software and explored on any personal computer. It is possible to zoom both in and out. Complex and better-designed systems even make the use of 3D glasses or VR headsets to make the tour even more interactive and a lot more fun.
The VRML or virtual reality modeling language is the programming software used to create 3D simulations. Virtual reality branches out into two main categories:
1. Simulation of a live space for training, education, or risk assessment
2. Developing an imaginary 3D map for games, storytelling, and even future innovations like buildings and structures that do not yet exist.
There are tons of applications of immersive and non-immersive virtual reality tours.
Some of these are:
• Architecture: You can build structures and buildings to see what they would look like after actual construction.
• Education: Lessons are made interactive, fun, and easier to understand.
• Recruitment: VR exercises help identify suitable candidates for particular jobs.
• Entertainment: Games and storytelling has been made tons of fun through VR.
• Sports: Training and gameplay are both made easier through VR.
• Art: Artists have started making their paintings turn 3D for even better visuals.
• Events: 3D models help people visualize what their event will eventually look like.
• Well-being: VR is used for yoga, mental well-being, and meditation.
• Social communities: VR spaces are a great way to build communities and make new friends.
• Charity: More awareness about sensitive issues is being created through VR.
• Marketing: VR is being used to promote and sell products.
• Recreation: 3D museum tours and recreation parks have popped up to make recreation even more fun.
• Law enforcement: Personnel is trained to use weapons using VR.
• News/journalism: News documentaries and stories can be watched 3D using virtual reality.
