Virtual Reality Technology

Virtual Reality is using computer technology to create a simulated, three-dimensional world that a user can manipulate and explore while feeling as if individual is in that world. Scientists, theorists and engineers have designed dozens of devices and applications to achieve this goal.

The entertainment industry is still interested in virtual reality applications in games and theatre experiences, the really interesting uses for Virtual Reality systems are in other fields.Some architects create virtual models of their building plans so that people can walk through the structure before the foundation is even laid.Car companies have used Virtual Reality technology to build virtual prototypes of new vehicles, testing them thoroughly before producing a single physical part.Virtual environments are used in training programs for the military, the space program and even medical students.
