Understanding Virtual Reality: Types & Uses

Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of an environment that users can interact with. It involves immersive, non-immersive, and window-on-world types. Immersive VR fully surrounds the user, while non-immersive uses large displays but not full surround. Window-on-world displays 3D VR on regular screens. VR has applications in military, healthcare, education, science, and entertainment by creating realistic worlds to explore and experiment in. Advantages include realistic experiences and enabling exploration, but disadvantages are the expense and complexity of the required equipment and inability to fully move freely like in the real world.

 Desktop based Virtual reality involves displaying a 3-D virtual on
regular desktop display without use of any specialized movement
tracking environment.
