Virtual Reality technology

Virtual Reality’s most immediately-recognizable component is the head-mounted display (HMD). Human
beings are visual creatures, and display technology is often the single biggest difference between
immersive Virtual Reality systems and traditional user interfaces. For instance, CAVE automatic virtual
environments actively display virtual content onto room-sized screens. While they are fun for people in
universities and big labs, consumer and industrial wearables are the wild west.

Virtual Reality and the importance of audio

Convincing Virtual Reality applications require more than just graphics. Both hearing and vision are
central to a person’s sense of space. In fact, human beings react more quickly to audio cues than to visual
cues. In order to create truly immersive Virtual Reality experiences, accurate environmental sounds and
spatial characteristics are a must. These lend a powerful sense of presence to a virtual world. To
experience the binaural audio details that go into a Virtual Reality experience, put on some headphones
and tinker with this audio infographic published by The Verge.
