Short description
This article explains the term "Virtual Reality", or VR for short, and its application.
What does VR mean?
The term “VR” stands for “virtual reality”. Special glasses are required for this. These glasses can display computer-generated content using a 3D engine and adapt to human vision. VR glasses therefore mainly appeal to the visual and acoustic senses and can therefore create an extremely believable experience. They are controlled using head movements or additional controllers.
What is VR used for?
VR glasses are often used for computer games. This makes the gaming experience something special. But VR can also be used as a tool for visualizations. This opens up a wide range of applications. For example, in the simulation, sports, film and animation sectors. VR is therefore not only suitable for gaming projects.
Can VR only be used for computer games?
No. The basic benefit is the display of 3D content on the glasses. This requires the development of dedicated VR apps. These apps can visualize different industrial use cases, for example. For example, large machines no longer need to be transported at great expense, as there are unlimited projection surfaces available in 3D space.
Interactive operating instructions can be created or complicated machines and their core benefits can be simplified. This technology can also be used to visualize entire construction projects before they are actually built. Planning errors can be avoided and identified in advance. Some amusement parks are now building their own VR experiences.
However, VR is just as suitable for helping people. For example, VR glasses can be used to trigger specific emotions. Fears can be overcome in virtual worlds. In the studio, we have developed our own VR app for this purpose, which helps people to overcome their fears.
VR can also be used in education. Visually appealing educational games make it easier to explain any subject. In our experience, the learning content is transferred much faster and remembered for longer. The age of the learner is irrelevant.
Realistic VR applications
With the help of photorealistic textures and realistic surface shaders, a very high level of realism can be achieved. Entire building complexes were even visualized there using VR. The experiences in VR are therefore very immersive and therefore remain in the memory. They are very different from traditional media.
How are VR projects implemented?
There are many ways to implement a VR project. All real objects can be created in 3D programs and displayed in VR. Modeling programs are often used for this. Blender, 3Ds Max or Maya are among the most popular tools. After completion, the 3D models are merged in a 3D engine and provided with various functionalities using program code. The project can then be exported for the glasses. Once projects have been exported, they can be “entered” with the VR glasses.
What types of VR glasses are there?
There are currently many different VR glasses on the market. These differ in terms of price, quality and range of functions. The most commonly used VR glasses are the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation VR. Alternatively, there are special frames for smartphones that can be used to display VR apps on your own cell phone. These two options offer a similar media experience. Some VR projects require powerful computers, while other projects manage with less power.
