1929: Edwin Link built Pilot Maker, the first-ever flight simulator and rationally the first example of an artificial environment simulated by technology, which was later used by the US air force in 1934 to train more than 5 lakh pilots during World War II 

 

1968: Morton Heilig conceptualized the Sensorama Simulator, an immersive cinematic experience that simulated all five senses (sight, hearing, touch, taste, and smell) 

 

1986: Sword of Damocles, the first virtual reality head-mounted display, developed by Ivan Sutherland

 

The term “virtual reality” was coined decades before the rise of digital technology. Still, many people associate it with images of a game, teenagers wearing goggles, and marveling at the sensation of riding a roller coaster from the comfort of home.

Nevertheless, companies trying to capture public imagination and spark virtual reality’s mainstream adoption will dramatically change the way people think about it. 

 

What is Virtual Reality?

 

Virtual reality or VR is a computer-simulated environment with scenarios and objects that appear to be real, making the user feel fully immersed in their surroundings. The environment is perceived through a device called a virtual reality headset or helmet. 

 

If you are a gamer, you might have had an impressive VR experience. Today, the most prominent VR applications take total control of a user’s senses to create a deeply engaging experience in an entirely virtual environment that feels quite realistic. 

 

According to a research by a US-based market intelligence firm, VR in business is forecast to outpace leisure use of technology, with spending reaching $9.2bn by 2021, thereby enhancing its scope from entertainment experiences to marketing, finance, HR, and production. So let us explore the presence of VR in different domains. 

 

VR in education and training

Virtual reality is already making a great invasion in education and training. Engage platform is used by Facebook, HTC, and the European Commission to enable remote learning. A study published in 2019 explained how medical students trained using VR could better perform specific procedures than their peers trained with traditional methods. A feather in the cap of effective new technologies is Teslasuit, which offers an array of biometric sensors to measure users’ heartbeat, perspiration, and other stress indicators. 

 

VR in industry

The pandemic has changed the way of working for many employees. Therefore, to retain a cooperative environment, many solutions are emerging (involving VR). For example, Spatial created a tool which is the VR version of Zoom. There is a noted 1000% increase in the use of this software since March 2020. Communication giant Ericsson has predicted that by 2030, they will be able to enter a digital and interactive working environment that will appear completely real to our five senses. 

 

VR in socializing 

Several VR-based social platforms already exist, such as VR chat, AltspaceVR, and Rec Room. Facebook with a long stake in VR after its acquisition of oculus headsets, also unveiled its Horizon platform. In beta, it allows people to build and share a collaborative online world (by hanging out, playing games, and working together on projects). Therefore, we will have more meaningful ways to meet other humans as technology improves in this field. 

 

VR in entertainment

A happy start for virtual reality is gaming applications. And the reason for that is because people are willing to spend money on the most impressive and immersive entertainment experiences. Sandbox VR operates real-world centers that use full-body feedback suits - letting groups battle it out in deep space, aboard ghostly pirate ships, and through zombie infestation.
