Advantages and Disadvantages of Virtual Reality

The document describes 5 types of virtual reality: non-immersive, fully immersive, semi-immersive, augmented reality, and collaborative VR. Non-immersive VR involves controlling virtual characters through a computer without direct interaction. Fully immersive VR uses helmets, gloves, and body connectors to detect movements and provide a realistic virtual experience. Semi-immersive VR combines non-immersive and fully immersive elements through a headset or computer screen. Augmented reality places virtual entities into the real world through devices. Collaborative VR allows people in different locations to interact within a shared virtual environment.

Types of Virtual Reality:

 Non-immersive Virtual Reality.


 Fully Immersive Virtual Reality.
 Semi-Immersive Virtual Reality.
 Augmented Reality.
 Collaborative VR.

1. Non-Immersive Virtual Reality:

Non-immersive virtual reality refers to a virtual experience through a computer where you
can control some characters or activities within the software, but the environment is not
directly interacting with you.

In addition to desktop computers, you can also find a robust laptop for virtual machines and
work on the go. Since more and more people appreciate mobility, manufacturers create
powerful systems in compact bodies.

2. Fully Immersive Virtual Reality:

On contrary to non-immersive virtual reality, a fully immersive virtual technology ensures


that you have a realistic experience within the virtual world.

It’ll give you a sense of being present in that virtual world, and everything is happening to
you for real.

This is an expensive form of virtual reality that involves helmets, gloves, and body
connectors with sense detectors.

These are connected to a powerful computer. Your movements, reactions, and even a blink of
an eye are detected and projected within the virtual world.

You will feel like you are within the virtual world physically.

3. Semi-Immersive Virtual Reality:

A semi-immersive virtual reality is a mixture of non-immersive and fully immersive virtual


reality.

This can be in the form of a 3D space or virtual environment where you can move about on
your own, either through a computer screen or a VR box/headset.

So all activities within the virtual world are concentrated toward you.

However, you have no real physical movements other than your visual experience.

4. Augmented Reality:
Augmented Reality is when a certain entity or device seems to be present in reality but is
actually not.

Rather than putting you into a virtual world, a virtual entity is placed in the real world
through any device.

5. Collaborative VR:

This is a form of a virtual world where different people from various locations can come into
contact within a virtual environment, usually in the form of 3D or projected characters.

How does Virtual Reality works?

Virtual reality builds a low-latent, quick refreshing virtual ecosystem for end users. Interestingly,
people who have already experienced virtual reality claim as if they have been teleported to an
imaginary world. This type of immersive experience that VR creates is a testament to its
successful future. Virtual reality works on the basic principle of our perception of the
environment and scene understanding.
VR headsets are programmed to capture our reflexes to natural stimuli, which is backed by
artificial intelligence-powered software. The stimuli are then stored in form of a featured dataset
used to craft virtual objects in a spatially mapped environment. VR designers carefully capture
the intricacies of real-world objects and clone them well enough to trick the human brain. With
built-in skeletal trackers, the VR headset controls the way you move within the virtual space.
