VIRTUAL REALITY

Virtual Reality (VR) transports a user from the real world into a digitally created immersive experience that mimics an alternative reality. Using visual, audio and even tactile technologies we can create experiences that lead the user to being fully immersed in an environment. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experience, which can include sight, touch, hearing, and smell.

Here are the ways you’ll be able to use VR

Virtual reality isn’t just a viewmaster for your video games. It’s an entirely new medium whose true purpose is slowly being realized. Here are a few of the ways VR will be used over the next few years.

Entertainment

VR has become a place to view videos that surround you. New cameras are being created to capture these VR stories, and tools to upload and livestream them are growing in number.

Artistry & design

Imagine building a real home with virtual tools, or designing parts for a new car as if it already existed in the real world. Imagine painting a 3D masterpiece while collaborating with friends around the globe. Apps and wand-like controllers are already making VR an amazing playground.

Gaming

Obviously, video games are one of the main applications for virtual reality as of today. But VR will give game designers the freedom to take games to incredible new places.

Real estate & shopping

Imagine being able to tour a prospective home from miles away, walking right through the property as if you were there. Imagine placing life-size models of your own furniture into that house, to see if they fit. Now imagine walking into a virtual clothing store with infinite shelf space, where you can see and try clothes.

Tourism & exploration

Virtual tourism is the best thing to being there. You could visit Switzerland, Paris, or the bottom of the ocean. Whether you’re watching a 360-degree video someone shot, or a computationally generated 3D simulation, you can shut out the real world and replace it with your destination of choice.

Education & simulation

Medicine, chemistry, physics, astronomy: VR can model the world in an incredibly visual way. VR simulations can offer practice runs at techniques, designs and ideas.
