The users of Active VR are increasing day by day; it’s expected to increase by 3 billion by the end of this year.
VR Sectors
As said, VR applications are not only limited for the gaming sector. Innovators are continuously trying to build an unimaginable future of VR. Here are a few of the sectors that will have huge impact of Virtual Reality in the coming future.
EducationÂ
Virtual Reality helps various fields of education to effectively provide better learning methods for students.
- School and college – Scientists have proved that people can learn new things effectively when they can see, listen, and feel those things. VR helps student to learn new things through the virtual world. It’s easy to learn when we visualize the things in the virtual world.
- Defense – In defense it helps the solider to get trained in the various environment. This helps to optimize numerous operations.
- Hospital – VR educational value also extends to educating patients in the medical setting. For instance, AccuVein has invented a scanner that projects over skin to shows nurses and doctors where various veins and valves are in a patient’s body. The technology has reportedly been used on more than 10 million patients so far and made finding a vein on the first attempt 3.5x more likely.
Entertainment
Here are a few current Virtual Reality applications in the Entertainment sector that are providing new heights for the future of VR.
- Games – Virtual reality gaming is where a person can experience being in a three-dimensional environment and interact with that environment during a game. This is an essential part of the game.
- 360° video – 360-degree VR is an audiovisual simulation of an altered, augmented or substituted environment that surrounds the user, allowing them to look around them in all directions, just as they can in real life.
- Movie and media – Second only to gaming, the media sector has been among the most eager to embrace virtual reality. The New York Times is already a leader in VR-powered storytelling, releasing new visual stories regularly through the NYTVR app. Deploying VR in entertainment eliminates the boundary between a story and its audience, allowing filmmakers to experiment with space and point of view and leading to experiential works that blur the lines between gaming and narrative entertainment.
