USES: 1.

sport
-Virtual reality is used as a training aid in many sports such
as golf, athletics, skiing, cycling etc.
-It is used as an aid to measuring athletic performance as
well as analysing technique
-Driving

equipment design and

innovation
2.

Scientific Visualisation-A tool for

conveying complex information

- This field is based upon using computer

graphics to express complex ideas and
scientific concepts,
-Scientific visualisation is used as a
means of communicating abstract
concepts -Virtual reality is considered
alongside other forms of visualisation
technology such as computer simulation,
animation and information visualisation.
3.Film
-Virtual reality is a very common theme
in science fiction movies, where it is
often used a way to turn the fantastical
into something that seems totally real.
-TRON, for instance, was one of the first
movies to use virtual reality as a plot
element.

-Some of the most popular movies of our

time use concepts of virtual reality such
as TRON & TRON Legacy,The Matrix
series,Vanilla Sky.
4.Healthcare
-Healthcare is one of the biggest
adopters of virtual reality which
encompasses surgery simulation, phobia
treatment, robotic surgery and skills
training.
-One of the advantages of this
technology is that it allows healthcare
professionals to learn new skills as well
as refreshing existing ones in a safe
environment.
- not causing any danger to the patients.
-Virtual reality diagnostics:
Virtual reality is often used as a
diagnostic tool in that it enables doctors
to arrive at a diagnosis in conjunction
with other methods such as MRI scans.
This removes the need for invasive
procedures or surgery.
-Virtual robotic surgery:
A popular use of this technology is in
robotic surgery. This is where surgery is
performed by means of a robotic device

 controlled by a human surgeon, which

reduces time and risk of complications.

5.

Engineering

-Virtual reality engineering includes

the use of 3D modelling tools and
visualisation techniques as part of
the design process.
-This technology enables engineers
to view their project in 3D and gain
a greater understanding of how it
works.
- car design:
-Car manufacturers use virtual reality for
prototyping purposes during the design
process.
-This enables them to produce several
versions which are then tested and
changed as per the results.
6. Construction

-Using a virtual environment, an

organisation can not only render the
resulting structure in 3D but also
experience them as they would in the
real world.
- having the ability to test a number of
factors without the time and cost of
building the structure, reducing the
number of errors present in the
completed building.
-allows an organisation to fine-tune
construction processes for maximum
efficiency and a minimum amount of
change.
- Virtual reality will allow us to make
grander and more robust buildings in a
shorter space of time a very desirable
property indeed.
7.Business
-Virtual reality is being used in a number
of ways by the business:
Virtual tours of a business
environment
Training of new employees
A 360 view of a product

- enables to test a prototype without

having to develop several versions of
this which can be time consuming and
expensive.
- can use to test drive a product in the
early stages of development but without
any additional costs (or risks) to
themselves.
- help with data analysis and forecasting
trends in order to gain an edge over
their competitors.
8.Telecommunications
- in particular mobile communications
which enables easy access to a variety
of VR based projects.
-Telecommunications can be used to help
virtual reality systems such as surgery
simulation or telemedicine.
- example of this is remote surgery in
which images from that surgery can be
transmitted to various locations around
the world
- It also enables surgery to be performed
in remote locations using robotic
technology and virtual reality.
