Market Definition
Virtual reality can be defined as a technology that creates a simulated environment through computer technology. Virtual reality provides an immersed 3D environment to the user by simulating various senses such as vision, touch, hearing, and even smell. Virtual reality uses devices such as head-mounted displays, projectors, and display walls to generate realistic visuals and sounds to provide a real-world experience in the virtual environment. The person using virtual reality can view the artificial world 360 degrees and even sense the virtual environment with highly advanced gears. This technology is being widely used in various industrial applications, especially for training and research purposes. The defense and aerospace industry uses it for training the army personnel by providing various environmental conditions, this aids in reducing the overall cost of the training. The gaming sector provides virtual reality directly to the users by enhancing their gaming experience; people are getting more accustomed to virtual reality through their experience in the gaming and entertainment industry. Virtual reality has also aided in driving simulators by providing a real-life experience in an artificial environment helping the users to adapt to the driving conditions and know how to react in various situations without actually taking the driving lessons directly on the road.
