ABSTRACT
In this paper, the researchers have conducted the study of
“VIRTUAL REALITY“ Which is connected to the researcher’s
subject. The chosen topic is decided due to it’s use of technology
which is mostly being used to these days. The introduction of this
paper is about the background of virtual reality and what is virtual
reality or how did virtual reality had been invented.
Then, the body of the paper does consist of various things such as
citation and explanations that supports the research paper. Also,
the main topic will be discussed within this part of the research
paper. After narrowing down the topics and citations at the body.
We then now proceed to the conclusion.
The conclusion does give a lot of more defined keywords and
does remind you of what the topic is all about as the research
paper is coming into an end. Then we will get into the last part
which is the reference area where we will paste the used link as
we make this research paper.
1. INTRODUCTION
Virtual reality is a computer-generated environment with scenes
and \\objects that appear to be real, making the user feel they are
immersed in their surroundings. This environment is perceived
through a device 1 known as a Virtual Reality headset or helmet.

Imagination is to Technology as Fuel is to Fire. Imagination
and purpose together drive technology. It is due to these that
technology today is evolving at an exponential rate. Virtual
Reality on one hand places the viewer inside a moment or a place,
made possible by visual and sound technology that manoeuvres
the brain into believing it is somewhere else. It is an experience of
a world that does not exist. Sounds cool, right?!
Virtual Reality tricks one’s mind using computers that allow
one to experience and more interestingly, interact with a 3D
world. This is made possible by putting on a head-mounted
display which sends a form of input tracking. The display is split
between the eyes and thus creates a stereoscopic 3D effect with
stereo sound to give you a graphic experience. The technology
feeds in the images of the objects taken at slightly different angles
which creates an impression of depth and solidity. The LCD or
OLED panels inside are refracted by lenses completely fills the
field of vision with what is to be displayed and experienced.
Together with the technology and the input tracking, it creates an
immersive and exciting believable world that the computer
generates.
What we know today as VR, has been existing for decades
now. Taking you back to when 360° paintings took the world by
surprise, giving a virtual element. VR merely is ‘The Wise Guy’
of the digital world. It creates a world which neither functions
according to you, nor does it respond to your actions. It gives you
a first-hand experience with even the after-effects of an event
along with the ability to interact and interrelate with the world
created.
This technology holds vast potential insights into the workings of
the Human Brain. According to researchers and medical
specialists, VRs have the ability to diagnose medical conditions
from social anxiety to chronic pain. Though the use of VR to
tweak the brain is still at a budding stage. While most people were
too engrossed in its advancements and leap in the gaming and
exploring the industry, many are unaware of its achievements in
the health sector. VRs have been successfully treating post-
traumatic stress disorder since the 1990s, the new programs thus
address a much broader range of conditions. The VR content
exposes the patients to a virtual, safe and controlled environment
where they can explore and eventually learn that the threats they
are worried about can be tackled patiently with time, thinking and
analyzing.
VR displays are available in various forms. Ranging from the
ones that already contain the display, splitting the feed for each
eye using a cable to transfer the feed to the console, to the more
affordable ones which depend upon the VR mode and applications
on Smartphones. The HTC Vive, the Oculus Rift and Sony
PlayStation VR are a few of the head-mounts that use this setup.
One can create one’s own Virtual Reality Box at home, along with
a smartphone-compatible with the VR mode. Irrespective of the
use, Virtual Reality produces a set of data that can be used to
develop models, communication, training methods and
interaction. In simple words, the possibilities are endless.

dimensional (3-D) visual or other sensory environment. VR
applications immerse the user in a computer-generated
environment that simulates reality through the use of interactive
devices, which send and receive information and are worn as
goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits. In a typical VR format, a
user wearing a helmet with a stereoscopic screen views animated
images of a simulated environment. The illusion of “being there”
(telepresence) is effected by motion sensors that pick up the user’s
movements and adjust the view on the screen accordingly, usually
in real time (the instant the user’s movement takes place). Thus, a
user can tour a simulated suite of rooms, experiencing changing
viewpoints and perspectives that are convincingly related to his
own head turnings and steps. Wearing data gloves equipped with
force-feedback devices that provide the sensation of touch, the
user can even pick up and manipulate objects that he sees in the
virtual environment. The term virtual reality was coined in 1987
by Jaron Lanier, whose research and engineering contributed a
number of products to the nascent VR industry.
environments before the use of computers. After the release of a
promotional film called This Is Cinerama (1952), the
cinematographer Morton Heilig became fascinated with Cinerama
and 3-D movies. Like Waller, he studied human sensory signals
and illusions, hoping to realize a “cinema of the future.” By late
1960, Heilig had built an individual console with a variety of
inputs—stereoscopic images, motion chair, audio, temperature
changes, odours, and blown air—that he patented in 1962 as the
Sensorama Simulator, designed to “stimulate the senses of an
individual to simulate an actual experience realistically.” During
the work on Sensorama, he also designed the Telesphere Mask, a
head-mounted “stereoscopic 3-D TV display” that he patented in
1960. Although Heilig was unsuccessful in his efforts to market
Sensorama, in the mid-1960s he extended the idea to a
multiviewer theatre concept patented as the Experience Theater
and a similar system called Thrillerama for the Walt Disney
Company.

EARLY WORK OF VIRTUAL REALITY

in techniques for creating imaginative worlds, setting narratives in
fictional spaces, and deceiving the senses. Numerous precedents

The primary value of augmented reality is the manner in which
components of the digital world blend into a person's perception
of the real world, not as a simple display of data, but through the
integration of immersive sensations, which are perceived as
natural parts of an environment. The earliest functional AR
systems that provided immersive mixed reality experiences for
users were invented in the early 1990s, starting with the Virtual
Fixtures system developed at the U.S. Air Force's Armstrong
Laboratory in 1992.[3][6][7] Commercial augmented reality
experiences were first introduced in entertainment and gaming
businesses.[8] Subsequently, augmented reality applications have
spanned commercial industries such as education,
communications, medicine, and entertainment. In education,
content may be accessed by scanning or viewing an image with a
mobile device or by using markerless AR techniques.[9][10][11]
Augmented reality is used to enhance natural environments or
situations and offer perceptually enriched experiences. With the
help of advanced AR technologies (e.g. adding computer vision,
incorporating AR cameras into smartphone applications and
object recognition) the information about the surrounding real
world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulated.
Information about the environment and its objects is overlaid on
the real world. This information can be virtual. Augmented
Reality is any experience which is artificial and which adds to the
already existing reality.[12][13][14][15][16] or real, e.g. seeing
other real sensed or measured information such as electromagnetic
radio waves overlaid in exact alignment with where they actually
are in space.[17][18][19] Augmented reality also has a lot of
potential in the gathering and sharing of tacit knowledge.
Augmentation techniques are typically performed in real time and
in semantic contexts with environmental elements. Immersive
perceptual information is sometimes combined with supplemental
information like scores over a live video feed of a sporting event.
This combines the benefits of both augmented reality technology
and heads up display technology (HUD). (Cipresso, Pietro;
Giglioli, Irene Alice Chicchi; Raya, iz; Riva, Giuseppe (7
December 2011).
Mixed reality (MR) is a term used to describe the merging of a
real-world environment and a computer-generated one. Physical
and virtual objects may co-exist in mixed reality environments
and interact in real time. Mixed reality is largely synonymous
with augmented reality.
Mixed reality that incorporates haptics has sometimes been
referred to as Visuo-haptic mixed reality.[1][2]
In a physics context, the term "interreality system" refers to a
virtual reality system coupled with its real-world counterpart.[3]
A 2007 paper describes an interreality system comprising a real
physical pendulum coupled to a pendulum that only exists in
virtual reality.[4] This system has two stable states of motion: a
"Dual Reality" state in which the motion of the two pendula are
uncorrelated, and a "Mixed Reality" state in which the pendula
exhibit stable phase-locked motion, which is highly correlated.
The use of the terms "mixed reality" and "interreality" is clearly
defined in the context of physics and may be slightly different in
other fields, however, it is generally seen as, "bridging the
physical and virtual world".[5] ( Cosco, Francesco; Garre,
Carlos; Bruno, Fabio; Muzzupappa, Maurizio; Otaduy,
Miguel A. (January 2013))
Virtual Reality is currently one of the most powerful tools within
the 3D industry. The more capacity the teams and the technology
have to develop more realistic and impressive immersive
experiences, the more uses we find for it in diverse professional
fields.
This time, from forma’s blog we want to review the various
professional areas that can benefit from using virtual reality.
Use of virtual reality in medicine
This is currently one of the most favoured fields. Thanks to the
use of virtual reality, the medicine reaches a higher degree of
efficiencyand becomes a powerful ally in the operating rooms, for
example.
Virtual reality is used in medicine in simulations to train doctors,
surgery, phobia treatments and psychological traumas; it is also
used for pain control, thanks to distraction techniques.
An example of the use of virtual reality in medicine is the one
shown in this episode of The good doctor, in which two of the
characters use virtual reality to guide themselves and train as if
they were really operating.
Use of virtual reality in training
A more popular use of virtual reality is military training. These
professionals can so improve their abilities and train their skills in
a save environment. They simulate different scenarios, as if they
were in a real battle field, with the advantage, though, that they
can increase the training frequency at a lower cost than if they
were in a real training field.
Apart from the on site training, virtual reality is also used for
training pilots thanks to flight simulation. Some of the big
advantages of using virtual reality in aerial training are the
reduction of transfer time between land and real flight training,
safety, being this system cheaper and less polluting.
Use of virtual reality in education
The possibilities of virtual reality in the field of education are
endless and allow creating new educating models that are
changing the way we teach, independently from the learners’ age.
One of the most frequent uses is architectural models or human
body parts visualization, in relation to the above mentioned uses
of virtual reality in medicine.
Use of virtual reality in tourism
Virtual reality is used in tourism to carry out visits as if the
visitors were actually in the place they are seeing.

museums, as it allows easily putting the art works into context and
improves the message to be transmitted. In this sense, virtual
reality provides dynamism and interaction, improves the visitors’
experience and attracts visitors that may have perceived museums
as boring places before.

In the case of guided tours through architectural ruins or natural

spaces, virtual reality brings plasticity and aesthetic beauty. Plus,
it preserves objects and buildings thanks to a lower erosion.

Use of virtual reality in leisure and entertainment

The use ofvirtual reality in videogames is the most common use

for the general public. It is also the fastest growing market in the
three last decades and its fans can spend huge amounts of money
in order to gather any required element to experience a full
immersion.

Although medicine, training and tourism are nowadays gaining

ground in relation to the gaming industry, this has made a
qualitative step forward thanks to devices such asSamsung Gear
VR, Oculus VR, PlayStation VRand HTC Viveamong others.

Last but not least, it is worth highlighting that virtual reality

applied to the fashion industry has meant a revolution, bringing
the most exclusives catwalks to the mass audience.

3. CONCLUSION

Therefore, I conclude that Virtual reality is mostly one of the most

powerful 3D technology as of now. Also, Virtual reality is helpful
in each and every field of work such as in medical field, science,
and especially in technology. It helps the people to develop more
knowledge and new things to discover.
In the most people’s mind, the recognition for VR technology
stays on the stage when using VR glasses to view virtual space.
Every VR-related things we see today is only a small part of VR.
Though VR has a great potential and bright future, it’s still
uncertain whether VR technology could be popular in our life.
The wide function of VR is its software application. To lead users
experiencing different virtual spaces, it relies on more than just
these VR shooting devices or displaying devices, but on whether
technicians in various industries can build different virtual spaces
according to various needs to service the public. (Liza Brown,
