Virtual Reality

• Virtual Reality (VR) is the name for a computer technology that gives you a simulated experience of a place or a situation.
• It enables a person to interact with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or other sensory environments.
• The term was coined in 1987 by Jaron Lanier and his research and engineering contributed a lot to the VR industry.
• On July 21, 1995, the virtual boy was created by Nintendo.

Experience of Virtual Reality

• A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it, and interact with virtual features or items.
• Often the users may be able to move things in that space.
• Special gloves that create a feeling like you touched something can help make it seem more real.

How it works?

• It uses software to produce images, sounds, and other sensations to create a different place.
• This technology makes the user feel like he is in a computer-generated environment that simulates reality.
• This can be achieved by using interactive devices that send and receive information.
  • These devices include goggles, headsets, gloves, or bodysuits.
