3. WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY ?
Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment.
By simulating as many senses as possible, such as vision, hearing, touch, even smell, the computer is
transformed into a gatekeeper to this artificial world.
Through a virtual reality viewer, users can look up, down, or any which way, as if they were actually
there.
We can expect to see many more innovative uses for the technology in the future and perhaps a
fundamental way in which we communicate and work thanks to the possibilities of virtual reality.

4. HISTORY OF VIRTUAL REALITY
.
The exact origins of virtual reality are disputed, partly because of how difficult it
has been to formulate a definition for the concept of an alternative existence.
Today’s virtual reality technologies build upon ideas that date back to the 1800s,
almost to the very beginning of practical photography. In 1838, the first
stereoscope was invented, using twin mirrors to project a single image. That
eventually developed into the View-Master, patented in 1939 and still produced
today.
The virtual reality industry mainly provided VR devices for medical, flight
simulation, automobile industry design, and military training purposes from 1970
to 1990.
Today’s current virtual reality gear owes a debt of gratitude to the impeccable
inventors of the past six decades who build the way for the low-cost, high-quality
devices which are easily accessible.
In 2021 , Be sure to visit the VR flight simulators to experience the VR of
yourself…….!!!! .

FUTURE OF VR.
No single form of VR will transform the world on its own. As a whole,
however, the technology’s applications hold the potential to be one of
the most disruptive concepts in the years to come.
Virtual reality is already changing the way some businesses operate.
As technology further develops and people experience the benefits,
VR will become a standard practice in nearly every sphere.
