Virtual Reality Defined & Use Cases

Virtual Reality Defined & Use Cases

Virtual reality (VR) is a computer technology that uses a combination of software, hardware, and presence to create a simulated environment. The user is presented with an interface that allows them to interact with the virtual world in ways that they would not be able to in the real one. 

Today, VR technology is used in a wide range of niches, from entertainment and free adult cams to architecture and building. And we are going to tell you more in this post.

What is virtual reality?

Virtual reality is a type of computer-generated simulation that allows the user to interact with and explore a three-dimensional (3D) image or environment. VR headsets are used to view an artificial 3D environment that users can move around in and interact with using their hands.

The history of VR

VR is a new technology, but it has been around for quite some time. The first ever head-mounted display was created in the 1960s by Morton Heilig—Sensorama. It gave users the ability to watch 3D movies, interact with virtual environments and even smell aromas. Although Sensorama was never released commercially, it helped pave the way for later VR innovations, including a number of military applications during World War II and beyond. 

In 1966, Ivan Sutherland developed what's known as 'Sketchpad'—an early computer program that allowed users to draw freeform shapes on screen using a light pen or mouse cursor (it's considered one of the first examples of interactive computer graphics).

VR headsets

Virtual reality (VR) headsets are hardware devices that enable you to experience a virtual world. Most VR headsets contain some combination of display screens and lenses, which work together to create an immersive environment. The image is shown on a screen in front of the eyes, while a lens allows it to be seen more clearly as if it were in 3D space.

In addition to the hardware device itself, you'll need a computer or smartphone to run VR applications on your headset—either directly through USB cables or wirelessly via Bluetooth connections. Next, we are going to talk about VR technology’s fields of application.

Gaming and entertainment

These are two of the most common use cases for VR headsets. VR can be used at home, or in public places like arcades and theme parks. It's also used at events like gaming conferences.

VR gaming is often called immersive because it gives you a 360-degree view of your surroundings, which means there's no limit to where you can go (and no way to tell if what you're seeing is real or not). This creates an unparalleled level of engagement with your environment—and with other players, who can interact with each other directly through their avatars.

The possibilities for this type of engaging gameplay are endless: imagine exploring a beautifully rendered cityscape on foot or by bike; driving a car; flying an airplane; participating in live concerts or sporting events; interacting with famous characters from movies and TV shows...the list goes on!

Architecture and construction

As you might imagine, VR can be used to design buildings in a way that is more accurate and detailed than the 2D tools the architecture industry has used for years. As such, architects can create virtual models of their work and see them from every angle—including all of the hidden structural elements. This allows them to make design changes in real-time, as opposed to waiting until a building is completed before making changes that could be costly or impossible.

Virtual reality is also being used to build bridges in China and Japan (where there are fewer regulations about construction). In these countries, virtual reality is helping builders better understand what's going on underfoot so they can build safe bridges with minimal risk for workers during construction. 

Similarly, the construction industry uses virtual reality when designing amusement parks because it provides an immersive environment for designers who have never actually been on-site before.

Public safety and military training

Virtual reality (VR) can be used to train police officers, firefighters, and military personnel. These organizations need to prepare their people for dangerous situations that are difficult or impossible to replicate in real life. They also want to ensure that those who will be executing a task have the proper training beforehand so they don't make mistakes that could result in injury or death.

Virtual reality allows simulations of these complex scenarios by enabling users to interact with virtual objects while experiencing realistic visual and auditory feedback. This lets an instructor run training exercises without putting anyone in danger. This is especially helpful when working with dangerous materials like explosives or firefighting equipment like hoses, axes, and ladders.

Healthcare and Medical Education

VR is quickly becoming a tool for training medical professionals. It's also used for patient education, such as:

  • Medical students can practice procedures and surgeries with virtual patients. These patients can be programmed to react in realistic ways, based on the student's actions or movements. This allows students to learn from their mistakes without risking the lives of real patients.

  • Doctors use VR to practice procedures and surgeries on virtual patients so they don't have to risk harming real people in the process.

  • Nurses use VR to train for emergency situations by practicing on virtual patients who react realistically based on their actions or movements (similarly to how nurses would react if they were real). This can save lives because it helps nurses be more prepared should an emergency ever occur at the hospital or clinic where they work. Every day, they are caring for others' health needs while being prepared themselves with this valuable training tool that makes them better equipped than ever before!

Conclusion

In this article, we’ve explored the history of virtual reality as well as its various uses in today's society. VR is still a relatively new technology that is rapidly gaining ground for a variety of different applications. We hope that you found this post informative and entertaining!
