Future Work.
The future of V irtual Real ity depends on the existence of systems
that address issues of ‘l arge scal e’ v ir tual env ironments. In the
coming years, as more research is done w e are bound to see VR
become as mainstay in our homes and at w ork. As the computers
become faster, they w il l be abl e to create more real istic graphic
images to simul ate real ity better. It w il l be interesting to see how it
enhances artificial real ity in the years to come.
It is v ery possible that in the future w e w il l be communicating w ith
v irtual phones. Nippon Telephone and Telegraph (NTT) in Japan is
dev eloping a system w hich w il l al low one person to see a 3D image
of the other using V R techniques. The future is v irtual real ity, and its
benefits w il l remain immeasurable.
Conclusion.
V irtual Real ity is now inv olv ed ev erywhere. Y ou can’t imagine your
l ife w ithout the use of V R Technol ogy. In this report, V irtual Reality
and its history w ith some important dev elopment s w hich giv e the
birth of this new technology are defined .
Today w e hav e audio or v ideo conference for communication w ith
peopl e w ho aren’t ev en nearby. Distance is not an issu e anymore.
With V R, this coul d go to a w hol e new l ev el. We coul d v irtually
become present anyw here w e l ike. There is an enormous scope
here to expl ore the w orld of 3D w ith our ow n imagination.
VR has many appl ications from product dev elopment to
entertainment, to communication etc. It is stil l v ery much in the
dev elopment stage w ith many users creating their ow n customized
appl ications and env ironments to suit their needs. Soon w e will
hav e a new era of the V irtual Worl ds.
