Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that involves the use of computer technology to create an immersive, interactive environment where users can explore and interact with a virtual space. VR from FUSE often requires specific hardware, such as headsets, gloves, and sensors, to fully engage the user’s senses, providing visual, auditory, and sometimes tactile feedback to create a convincing virtual world. Talk with our team today for more info and see if VR is a good match for your company!
Virtual reality works by simulating a 3D environment that users can interact with in a seemingly real or physical way. This is achieved through the use of VR headsets or goggles equipped with screens and sensors. The headset tracks the user’s head movements and adjusts the 3D imagery on the screens accordingly. To enhance the immersive experience, additional peripherals like hand controllers, gloves, and treadmills can be used, providing tactile feedback and allowing for movement and interaction within the virtual environment.

The concept of Virtual Reality has been evolving since the 1950s, but the first VR system that closely resembles what we use today was invented in 1968 by Ivan Sutherland and his student Bob Sproull. They created the “Sword of Damocles,” a head-mounted display system that provided immersive graphical experiences. However, the term “Virtual Reality” was popularized in the late 1980s by Jaron Lanier, founder of VPL Research, which developed some of the first VR devices like gloves and goggles. Take a look at the history of augmented/virtual reality here.
VR creates a completely immersive virtual environment that replaces the user’s real-world surroundings, transporting them to a different space entirely. In contrast, AR overlays digital information onto the real world, enhancing but not replacing the user’s real-world experience. AR can be accessed through smartphones, tablets, and AR glasses, allowing for interactive experiences that blend digital elements with the physical world.

To use a virtual reality headset, start by ensuring the headset and any controllers are fully charged or plugged in. Install the necessary software or apps on your computer or phone, depending on the headset’s requirements. Adjust the headset for a comfortable fit, ensuring the display is clear and the straps are secure but not too tight. Follow the calibration process for your device to ensure accurate tracking of movements. Finally, select a VR application or game and follow the on-screen instructions to start your virtual experience. Remember to take breaks and remove the headset if you feel dizzy or uncomfortable.
