Virtual Reality: Opportunities and Challenges
Journal Title: International Journal of Modern Engineering Research (IJMER) - Year 2013, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract: Virtual Reality systems have drawn much attention by researchers and companies in the last few years. Virtual Reality is a term that applies to computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Interactivity and its captivating power, contribute to the feeling of being the part of the action on the virtual safe environment, without any real danger. So, Virtual Reality has been a promising technology applicable in various domains of application such as training simulators, medical and health care, education, scientific visualization, and entertainment industry. Virtual reality can lead to state of the art technologies like Second Life, too. Like many advantageous technologies, beside opportunities of Virtual Reality and Second Life, inevitable challenges appear, too. This paper is a technical brief on Virtual Reality technology and its opportunities and challenges in different areas.
