Abstract — V irtual reality (V R) is a technology w hich al l ows users to interact w ith computersimul ated env ironments, may they be real or imaginary. In it w e can dev elop our own w orlds from creating v ideo game s to hav ing w ander v irtually around the univ erse. This report contains the basic principl es and open probl ems of V R. With a short historical ov erv iew, basic terminol ogies, cl asses of VR systems and the chal lenges of V irtual Reality. Introduction — Today, it has become common for us to be able to interact w ith computers. They al l ow us to experience things that are not accessible in real l ife or yet created. Moreov er, the w orl d of graphics ha s neither borders nor constraints and can be created and manipul ated how ev er we desire or imagine. So, w e step into its w orld to interact w ith it instead of just w atching. Soon it becomes ov erwhelmingly popul ar and fashionable. V irtual real ity is considered to hav e begun in the 1950’s but it came to the publ ic’s attention in the l ate 1980’s and 1990’s. This can be attributed to pioneering computer scientist Jaron Lanier w ho introduced the term back in 1987. Most VR env ironments are primaril y v isual experiences, displayed either on digital fl at screens or stereoscopic displays. V irtual reality also incl udes auditory stimul ation through speakers or headphones. Users can interact w ith the v irtual env ironments through different peripheral dev ices. Evolution — The v ery first idea w as presented by Ivan Sutherland in 1965: “Make t hat (virt ual) world in t he window look real, sound real, f eel real, and respond realistically t o t he viewer’s act ions” . It has been a l ong time since then; a l ot of research has been done.
