Virtual reality (VR) can be defined as softwares that are used in the field of computer technology to create realistic environment through images, sounds and other sensations that actually reproduce the real environment. They create an imaginary setting helps the user to feel his physical presence in this environment. Through virtual reality the user can interact with the space and the objects depicted in the setting using specialized display screens, projectors, etc. It is more of a realistic simulation of a 3D environment using software and hardware that can be controlled by the human body.
Virtual reality can be achieved by using a range of systems starting from headsets, omni-directional treadmills to special gloves, etc. These devices stimulate the human senses together and create an illusion or a virtual environment which seems very close to reality. Since the human brain is well capable of sensing even the slightest difference in the created environment, it is very essential to maintain that realism and keep the person immersed in the illusive environment he treads into. Virtual reality takes the human physiology into consideration; for example, humans do have a 180 degree vision and if the peripheral vision is gone (although it is rarely noticed) it immediately recognized by them. Therefore in order to experience virtual reality sensory synchronicity is equally important.
Virtual reality can be best experienced in the things that are dangerous, expensive or highly impractical to something in reality. For example, virtual environment comes handy for trainee fighter pilots or trainee surgeons where the person can actually learn by doing without causing any physical harm and take virtual risks to gain hands-on experience.
Features of virtual reality
- Ability to present three-dimensional set-up or images
- Images are very close to real/original images
- Adaptive environment that changes along with the change in the movement of the person
- Providing synchronized responses as per the person’s actions
- Aimed for natural, free-flowing environment for interaction
Industries that Best Use Virtual Reality
Virtual reality comes handy in many industries for the purpose of job training as well as bringing a different level of experience for the user. It is huge boon for the sectors that involve a lot of risk such as the healthcare sector or the manufacturing sector as they deal with humans in close interaction and even a minutest mistake can be extremely risky. Therefore, virtual reality provides them a huge platform for learning and experimenting.
Listed below are the industries or sectors that use virtual reality extensively for various purposes.
- Healthcare: Virtual reality can be used for the psychiatric therapies where in the patients with phobias and social anxieties can be treated. The controlled environment helps the doctors to expose the patients to different type of simulations and help them cope up with their fears and anxieties better. It also comes handy in the training a new surgeon to perform surgery as he or she will have a experience a real environment without dealing with a real patient so as to overcome their nervousness and gain confidence.
- Real Estate: In this sector the users or the buyers can be given a complete three-dimensional picture of the property through a 360 degree virtual tour which can have a huge impact on the buyer, satisfy him better and make him buy the property.
- Automotive: One of the major industries that can implement the virtual reality environment to help the customers experience the features of the cars in order to enhance the appeal towards them.
- Education: Classrooms implementing VR can actually help students learn faster and much more easily as they can feel what they are doing and learning, instead of staring at blackboard full of notes.
- Gaming: Virtual reality in gaming sector helps the person to have an experience like never-before by allowing him to interact in a three-dimensional environment.
- Adult Entertainment: The field of entertainment which mainly includes cinema can use VR to create an almost real environment using 360 degree videos to create a better feel,and leading the pack of wolves is VRPorn.com with daily uploads and lifelike porn experience
A Closer Observation of VR in Gaming,Adult Entertainment and Real Estate Industries
VR in the gaming industry uses the concept of bio-sensing. Bio-sensing uses small sensors are used to sense and record body movements of the person in 3D space which are further interpreted by the computer. These are attached to the data glove, suit or the human body. The computer then analyses the data that is further used to transform the human action into appropriate responses on the screen, making the player a virtual part of the game.
In the film industry, although VR is the future of the films in the coming years, it involves a number of challenges. A VR headset is separately used by the audience to experience virtual reality in a 360 degree film and headset presents the images in such a way that the viewer’s brain is made to combine the images and experience a perception of three-dimension which adds realism to the movie watching experience.
But among all these,the adult film industry has been the first one to welcome Virtual Reality with open arms.They also invested a lot of money in the development of this Technology and its usage.And maybe that is the reason,the industry with the most benefits has to be VRPorn
With the use of devices such as oculus rift (device that immerses the user in the virtual world) music can also be experienced through VR. The user can actually feel the vibration of the guitar thumping against the chest, the resonance of a piano’s soundboard along with the weight of the keys on the fingers. The user not just listens to the music stream but feels as if he were present at the exact location where the song is being performed.
In the real-estate industry, the realtors now believe in experimenting and using VR for the purpose of selling the properties by providing an experience like never before. Offering a fully immersive and beautifully rendered walkthroughs of real interior spaces that capture the client’s eye, the realtors have shifted towards VR which is gaining huge popularity and customer satisfaction. A 360-degree tour of the property helps customers to make a better decision about buying it.
