Although virtual reality (VR) has been around for several years, it is still relatively new. Virtual reality is the use of computerized technology to create a virtual, simulated environment.
Head-Mounted Display
One of the most essential components of virtual reality involves the use of a head-mounted display. This is a piece of technology that users fit over their heads. These devices typically have a strap that secures the technology to the user.
This head-mounted display involves a screen that the player uses to see their virtual world. This screen moves as your head moves, creating a very lifelike reality. Whether you look up, down, or to the side, the graphics you see move with you.
The most common VR headsets only include visuals to experience, but the more advanced models also include earpieces. The headsets with audio capabilities typically look like over-the-head earphones. Syncing with the graphics on the screen, audio and visual VR headsets create a virtual environment that looks and feels like the real deal.
Virtual Reality vs. Augmented Reality
You may get virtual reality confused with augmented reality. While there are some similarities, there are also many differences to consider. While virtual reality creates a totally new virtual environment, augmented reality simulates artificial elements in the real environment. Virtual reality takes you on a virtual adventure where every move you make happens in an alternate universe!
