- 3. What is VirtualReality (VR)? • VR is completely a 3D environment created from a combination of software and compatible hardware • This completely immerses the user into the 3D environment, giving them the ability to interact with the virtual world in a seemingly real way • The virtual world is created by software developers and then rendered in a way that users can interact with the objects created by developers.
- 4. What is VirtualReality (VR) ? Headsets help provide users the illusion of being completely immersed in the 3D environment. These 3D objects tend to respond to changes in the user’s movement, and the interactions mimic those in the real world. Certain additional hardware components, such as gloves or other accessories around the room, can also simulate additional senses, such as touch.
- 5. Why We UseVirtual Reality (VR)? • Virtually test out a product — For businesses that sell a product, VR technology allows users to visualize what owning a product would be like. Consumers can take a product for a "virtual test drive" before they commit to a purchase. • Expand Education — VR can take hands-on learning to the next level. Instead of observing a teacher perform a task, a student or trainee can visualize themselves performing it. • Go one step past 3D modeling — Some VR tools allow users to develop, sculpt, model, paint, and create tangible objects in a VR environment. Users can interact with 3D models from any angle with tools like these.
- 6. VR Tools inEducation • Zspace • 3D Bear • Thyng • Cospaces • VR world TiltBrush
- 7. VR Tools inEducation Cont.. zspace • This is really a powerful tool to engage learners • It’s a computer that students engage with using a stylus and wearing glasses, which allows for that VR experience • Mentor can browse by content-specific lesson plans • This tool supports knowledge construction and having students engage in content on a deeper level
- 8. VR Tools inEducation Cont.. • 3D Bear: This tool offers another opportunity to create scenes. • Instead of doing a traditional storyboard or comic strip, students can recreate the scenes to represent their learning.
- 9. VR Tools inEducation Cont.. Thyng • Thyng introduces MedMirror virtual body tracking technology • MedMirror is an experience that creates a category of medical visualization • Patient education is Essential. MedMirror Creates a new level of understanding and inspiration within patients • Learn the parts of your body(Anatomy) • Learn about how your body works(circulatory system, respiratory system, digestive system)
- 10. Who Uses VirtualReality (VR)? • Architects and Engineers • Game Developers • Military Sport • Mental Health • Medical Training • Education • Fashion • And more!
- 11. Who Uses VirtualReality (VR)? Cont.. • Game developers — VR is becoming a massively popular medium within game development. • Developers can use VR tools to create a completely immersive user experience for gamers • Those playing the game can fully interact with the created characters as if they are part of the universe • Users can typically access these games through headsets or mobile devices
- 12. VR Tools forGame Developers Cont..
- 13. Who Uses VirtualReality (VR)? Cont.. • Architects and Engineers — 3D design is becoming more common within architecture and engineering, as this type of design enables users to manipulate the objects they are designing from every angle • By designing in VR, users can be completely immersed in the environment as they create • These tools have expanded on the 3D capabilities offered by CAD software, allowing users to design, manipulate, and collaborate on projects in a virtual environment
- 14. VR Tools forArchitect’s Cont.. • Fuzor instantly transforms Revit or SketchUp models into virtual reality experiences • This is a tool for construction, because it greatly speeds up the process to get designs into VR — allowing users to iterate and improve on their designs
- 15. VR Tools forArchitect's Cont.. • Enscape is a Revit plug-in that creates a VR walk-through with one click based on your BIM data • No need to download or learn how to operate additional software • All materials, geometry and entourage come from your Revit project and can be changed during the VR simulation
- 16. Trends Related toVR • 360-degree video — These are videos where a certain view is shown from every perspective, which deliver a completely immersive VR experience. • Studies have shown that user engagement with 360-degree videos is quickly growing, proving that there will be an increased adoption of 360-degree videos on a larger scale. • https://youtu.be/kK_MuPEm2kQ
- 17. Trends Related toVR Cont.. • Increased availability — Large names in VR, such as Oculus and HTC, have been publicly working to decrease the price of their headsets. As prices are made more affordable, we will likely see a larger mass adoption of VR tools. • Omdia research reveals 12.5 million consumer VR headsets sold in 2021 with content spend exceeding $2bn. • 148% increase on 2021. • 2.4 headsets per hundred households in 2021.
- 18. Trends Related toVR Cont.. • More jobs in the VR field — VR is still growing as a technology, and the technology needs skilled developers to help bring VR to its full potential • As the software and integrating hardware becomes more in demand by the general public, there will be a greater need for more VR developers • Expect to see more posting in the VR space on job boards in the next few years
