VIRTUAL REALITY
- The term "virtual" has been used in the computer sense of "not physically existing but made to appear by software.
- Images created by a computer that seem to envelop the viewer and appear nearly real are referred to as virtual reality. VR experiences are now in the mainstream of entertainment, healthcare, military, business, and more, and are emerging as a positive force in the world in various ways.
- Non-Immersive: In a non-immersive virtual reality, users can control characters or activities in a 3D world using a computer screen with keyboards, joysticks or controllers, but the environment itself is not directly interacting with the user. Non-immersive experiences, allow a user to exist within a digital space without displacing them from their physical surroundings.
- Semi-Immersive: Semi-immersive virtual reality systems place a user in a 3D environment without incorporating any physical movement. Heavily focusing on the visual element, this type of simulation uses a computer screen and, in some cases, a headset to blend both non-immersive and fully immersive elements.
- Fully Immersive: Fully immersive virtual reality systems place users in a computer-generated environment that is perceived as real. Equipped with powerful computers, head-mounted displays and indicators fitted with sensors, users can interact with the environment as it occurs around them. This type of virtual reality incorporates as many senses as possible, and therefore, requires the most thorough process of data collection in comparison to other systems.
HOW VIRTUAL REALITY HELPS IN TODAYS DIGITAL WORLD:
