What you never knew
about Virtual reality
and
her cousins  
Overview
“ Virtual reality can be defined as a three-
dimensional, computer-generated simulation
in which one can navigate around, interact
with, and be immersed in another
environment.”

To break that
down…
● ‘virtual reality’ basically means ‘near-reality’

● Environment is generated by a computer

● Experience takes place in a simulated environment

● Incorporates sensory feedback ( mostly auditory,


visual and balance feedback with neural feedback
upcoming)
The notion of “immersion” & “immersive
technology”
● Emulate a physical world through the means of a
digital or simulated world, creating a sense of
immersion

● Gives you the sensation of being in the digital world

● Use of advanced human machine interfaces ( Brain–


computer interface, Gesture recognition,
Omnidirectional treadmill, Speech recognition )

● Defined with the degree of manipulation of “main”


human senses (Machine olfaction - smell, Artificial
flavor –taste, Haptic technology or kinesthetic
A little comparison
VR vs 3D vs 360 vs 2D
Panorama
● Panorama (wide-angle shot ,ultra-wide-angle
shot ): Lens having a focal length between 8–18
mm (Field of view(FoV)) is a Wide-Angle Lens

● Usually 120 degrees wide

● Doesn’t give the feel of an immersive technology

● Good for basic old photography


VR vs 3D vs 360 vs 2D
Panorama
● 360: Image/Video in 360degrees (all round)

● Simply a panorama that covers the full


horizontal
field of view around a person

● 3D : Image in 3 axis

● Google Earth renders a 3D representation of


Earth based primarily on satellite imagery. 

● VR is an extension of basic 3D/360 imagery


Developing a VR
Project

01 | Model the 3D environment (generation)

02 | Do the treatment code (c#, c++, js)

03 | Interacting with sensors through the treatment code (some sensors by


default)
04 | Generating the application apk,html etc
Thank you.
