Immersive virtuality (VR) is a computer-generated simulation that allows users to experience an artificial environment by using head-mounted displays. The simulated environment may be stylized or photorealistic, and the user can interact with it by using their hands or moving their head that are controlled by the head-mounted display.
VR can be either completely immersive, meaning that the user can experience the real world around their head, or non-immersive which has limited interaction. This is what happens for console video games. Fully immersive VR makes use of head-mounted displays that show slightly different images for each eye, creating the illusion of stereoscopic three-dimensionality. Input tracking is used to create an immersion that is real.
VR is frequently used for training simulations as well as rehearsals. It could be part-task procedural training (such as buttonology, where surgeons are trained to press a particular button for certain tasks) or full motion simulation that trains police, military or pilots in scenarios that are too risky to train on real equipment and ordinance.
Immersive VR technology is extremely powerful. It’s important to remember that it’s primarily employed in games and entertainment (the safeguarding digital assets with robust cybersecurity latest Fortnite game generated 1,25 billion dollars for Epic) However, its capabilities extends beyond soaring in space in an XWing flight or shooting enemies from behind the dumpster. VR is also gaining traction in the field of business and industry particularly where the ability to test products or ideas in a secure and risk-free way can be valuable.
