 ABSTRACT

Virtual reality or virtual realities, which can be referred to as immersive

computer- simulated reality, replicates an environment that simulates a
physical presence in places in the real world or unimagined world,
allowing to interact with that work. Virtual realities artificially create
sensory experience, which can include sight touch, hearing, and smell.
Most of the virtual realities are displayed either on mw computer screen
or with an HD VE special stereoscopic display, and some simulations add
additional sensory information and focus on real sound through speakers
or headphones large led towards WR users. Some advanced haptic
systems now include tactile information, generally known as fierce
feedback in medical gaming and military applications. Furthermore,
virtual reality covers remote communication environments, which
provide virtual presence if users with the concepts of telepresence virtual
artefact either through the use of standard devices such as a keyboard
and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired phones or
directional treadmills.

1. INTRODUCTION

The use of the term “virtual reality,” however, was first used in the mid-1980s when Jaron
Lanier, founder of VPL Research, began to develop the gear, including goggles and gloves,
needed to experience what he called “virtual reality.”
Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that employs pose tracking and 3D near-eye
displays to give the user an immersive feel of a virtual world. Applications of virtual
reality include entertainment (particularly video games), education (such as medical or
military training) and business (such as virtual meetings). Other distinct types of VR-style
technology include augmented reality and mixed reality, sometimes referred to as extended
reality or XR, although definitions are currently changing due to the nascence of the industry.

2.WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual reality is a simulated 3D environment that enables users to explore and interact with a
virtual surrounding in a way that approximates reality, as it is perceived through the users' senses.
The environment is created with computer hardware and software, although users might also
need to wear devices such as helmets or goggles to interact with the environment. The more
deeply users can immerse themselves in a VR environment -- and block out their physical
surroundings -- the more they are able to suspend their belief and accept it as real, even if it is
fantastical in nature.

The definition of virtual reality comes, naturally, from the definitions for both ‘virtual’ and
‘reality’. The definition of ‘virtual’ is near and reality is what we experience as human beings. So
the term ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’. This could, of course, mean anything but it
usually refers to a specific type of reality emulation.

We know the world through our senses and perception systems. In school we all learned that we
have five senses: taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing. These are however only our most obvious
sense organs. The truth is that humans have many more senses than this, such as a sense of
balance for example. These other sensory inputs, plus some special processing of sensory
information by our brains ensures that we have a rich flow of information from the environment
to our minds.

3.HISTORY OF VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual reality actually has an extensive history with a concept that dates all way back to the
1950s.

FIGURE:3

More than one person has been involved in the development of this technological system.

In 1950’s visionary cinematography Morton Heilig built a single user console called Sensorama.
This enabled the user watch television in 3 dimensional ways.

The use of the term “virtual reality,” however, was first used in the mid-1980s when Jaron Lanier,
founder of VPL Research, began to develop the gear, including goggles and gloves, needed to
experience what he called “virtual reality.”

Morton Heilig’s background was in the Hollywood motion picture industry. He wanted to see
how people could feel like they were “in” the movie. The Sensorama experience simulated a real
city environment, which you “rode” through on a motorcycle. Multisensory stimulation let you
see the road, hear the engine, feel the vibration, and smell the motor’s exhaust in the designed
“world.”

Heilig also patented a head-mounted display device, called the Telesphere Mask, in 1960. Many
inventors would build upon his foundational work.

The 1970s and 1980s were a heady time in the field. Optical advances ran parallel to projects that
worked on haptic devices and other instruments that would allow you to move around in the
virtual space. At NASA Ames Research Center in the mid-1980s, for example, the Virtual Interface
Environment Workstation (VIEW) system combined a head-mounted device with gloves to enable
the haptic interaction.

4.HOW VIRTUAL REALITY WORKS

VR is one of the fastest-growing technologies in the world, and a source of excitement for many
consumers. Increasingly, VR is appearing in homes and businesses across the globe, stimulating
environment sand settings in a way that’s realistic enough to fool us into thinking we’re
somewhere else.

Therein lies the heart of virtual reality technology. The purpose of a VR headset is to transport
you to another version of reality, where you can interact with new environments.

As human beings, we base our perception of the world on the rules developed by our experience.
We believe what we see, hear, and feel around us. VR designers use the basic rules of perception,
and ideas of how we interact with the world to create environments that feel just as authentic as
the world around us.

VR headsets are essentially just machines designed to replace our surroundings with something
created in software. There are gyroscopic sensors, accelerators, and magnetometers in headsets
to determine how you move and track your interactions with a virtual space. Your headset also
connects to external cameras and computer systems to access software for your VR experience,
or connect with additional programs.

5.TYPES OF VIRTUAL REALITY

There are 3 primary categories of virtual reality simulations used today:

Immersive virtual reality,

Non-immersive virtual reality, and

Windows on world.

5.1:IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY

The goal of Immersive Virtual Reality is to completely immerse the user inside the computer -
generated world, giving the impression to the user that he/she has “stepped inside” the synthetic
world.

Virtual Reality (VR) is the technology that provides almost real and/or believable experience in a
synthetic or virtual way. The goal of Immersive VR is to completely immerse the user inside the
computer-generated world, giving the impression to the user that he/she has “stepped inside”
the synthetic world. This can be achieved by using either the technologies of Head-Mounted

DEPARTMENT OF ECE, SVCE, TIRUPATI Page 12

VIRTUAL REALITY

Display (HMD) or multiple projections. Immersive VR with HMD uses HMD to project VR just in
front of the eyes and allows users to focus on display without distraction.

A magnetic sensor inside the HMD detects the users' head motion and feeds that information to
the attached processor. Consequently, the user turns his or her head; the displayed graphics can
reflect the changing viewpoint. The virtual world appears to respond to head movement in a
familiar way.
FIGURE :6

5.2:NON-IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY

Non-immersive virtual experiences are often overlooked as a virtual reality category because it’s
already so commonly used in everyday life. This technology provides a computer-generated
environment, but allows the user to stay aware of and keep control of their physical environment.
Non-immersive virtual reality systems rely on a computer or video game console, display, and
input devices like keyboards, mice, and controller. A video game is a great example of a non-
immersive VR experience.

Non-immersive VR systems have been studied as a therapeutic tool for improving symptoms in
neurological disorders and have shown potential to promote cognitive and motor improvements
even in advanced stages of different neurological diseases (e.g., stroke, Alzheimer and Parkinson
disease (AD, PD), multiple sclerosis (MS), and traumatic brain injury) because of these
characteristics .

5.3:WINDOWS ON WORLD
Some systems use a conventional computer monitor to display the visual world. This some times
called Desktop VR or a Window on a World (WoW). This concept traces its lineage back through
the entire history of computer graphics. In 1965, Ivan Sutherland laid out a research program for
computer graphics in a paper called "The Ultimate Display" that has driven the field for the past
nearly thirty years.

Windows Mixed Reality is a platform introduced as part of the Windows 10 and 11 operating
system, which provides augmented reality and virtual reality experiences with compatible head-
mounted displays.
Its flagship device, Microsoft HoloLens, was announced at the "Windows 10: The Next Chapter"
press event on January 21, 2015. The HoloLens provides an augmented reality experience where a
live presentation of physical real-world elements is incorporated with that of virtual elements
(referred to as "holograms" by Microsoft) such that they are perceived to exist together in a
shared environment. A variant of Windows for augmented reality computers (which augment a
real-world physical environment with virtual elements) Windows Mixed Reality features an
augmented-reality operating environment in which any Universal Windows Platform app can run.
The platform is also used for virtual reality headsets designed for use on the Windows 10 Fall
Creators Update, which are built to specifications implemented as part of Windows Mixed Reality,
but lack support for augmented-reality experiences.

7.DISADVANTAGES

VR equipment can be expensive, making it less accessible to some people, which is disadvantage
of VR. Using VR equipment for a long time might negatively affect vision and balance.

1) Implementation is expensive.
2) Only develop technical skills no interaction is there.
3) Technology is complex.
4) Addiction to Virtual Reality.
5) Impact on the real human body.
6) Not engaged in the real world.
7) Psychological damage.

8.APPLICATIONS OF VR

Virtual reality applications are applications that make use of virtual reality (VR), an immersive
sensory experience that digitally simulates a virtual environment. Applications have been
developed in a variety of domains, such as education, architectural and urban design, digital
marketing and activism, engineering and robotics, entertainment, virtual communities, fine arts,
healthcare and clinical therapies, heritage and archaeology, occupational safety, social science
and psychology.

1) Architecture and urban design.

2) Industrial design.
3) Health care and medical.
4) Digital marketing.
5) Entertainment.
6) Education and training.
7) Military.
8) Engineering and robotics.

9.CONCLUSION

Although VR devices have improved over the years, it still has a long way to go before it stops being
science fiction and becomes embedded in society. In 2016, 2.5 million virtual and augmented
reality devices are expected to be sold. In a CCS report, by 2018, 24 million VR devices are expected
to be sold. Although compared to the number of smart phone users, this number is quite small. But

considering how recently this technology is moving into mainstream consumerism, this level of
growth is astounding.

VR technology is still in its infancy and we are not yet sure how full scale VR invasion will impact
our social lives. Similarly when VR becomes accessible by majority of the population, it should not
end up becoming a social problem. So due diligence will have to be taken by the respective
stakeholders, including manufacturers of VR technology, VR content providers, manufacturers that
use VR to attract customers, governments and the people themselves.

Overall I think this is a very exciting time to see the benefits VR will bring to the masses. Apart
from gaming, we will also see the influence of VR in the education industry, healthcare,
entertainment, engineering etc.
