Introduction to VR


Introduction  

Virtual reality is used in many different applications, ranging from business and planning to manufacturing and entertainment.

Using the Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) programming language, entire virtual worlds have been created where you can walk around and manipulate objects.

Navigating a large database, a virtual, 3D representation can ease the use and understanding of such complex structures. Navigating the net through mouse and keyboard may soon become a thing of the past. Instead use a virtual reality system to surf the net in a literal sense!

 

In architecture and manufacturing, virtual design and development, better known as virtual prototyping, significantly aid in testing and perfecting the product before actual construction.

On the entertainment side of virtual reality you can enter worlds yourself with sights, sounds and touch, and relive the wild West or the Renaissance.
