Virtual reality
what is virtual reality?
the computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors. How does the VR work? There are stereoscopic lenses positioned between the screen and your eyes that distort the image into appearing three-dimensional. Two images are passed through the lens, one for each eye, similar to how our eyes perceive and process visuals in the real world. About VR? Early VR games (1980s-2000s) Research into virtual reality (VR) hardware and software started as early as 1968 by Ivan Sutherland and his student Bob Sproull , but most equipment was too expensive for consumer use, and its use for games was limited. |
