The Future Of Virtual Reality

One can’t predict what’s in store for the future. It’s even tougher to predict the future of the field of virtual reality as it still being in the stage of development. However it can be predicted in two ways, by using the latest research areas along with advanced technology and secondly studying its impact over the users.

Direction of research in virtual reality

The main aim is to make virtual world more realistic and appealing than ever compared to the real world, i. e. the world surrounding us. The technology used so far is poor quality and doesn’t elevate the experience of near reality. This new world of near reality has a lot of potential to be explored in near future, still there is a need to improve a lot to make the experience flawless. The improvement is important so as to ease the process to switch from real to virtual reality without causing any problems. Virtual reality tends to make human interactions with computer more realistically innovative with no pre-requisite knowledge required to operate it. But at present this is only accessible to only skilled users which can operate such bulky devices and need to be handled carefully. We need to develop such input and output devices which aren’t sophisticated to operate and we get the desired feedback as output. Also only sight and hearing, two of our senses are utilized but we need to bring devices which use other senses like tastes and smell as well, it will help in making this virtual experience more real than ever and more synergistic. Some changes have to be made in the tracking system. The trackers must be affordable and small in size, thus can be attached to the user without causing any problems. Trackers used now-a-days are tied to the user such that it doesn’t allow much movement.

Conclusion

We can conclude that Virtual Reality provides it’s user an interface that is realistic and innovative to a whole new level. Being a technology or immense potential, it is developing with time. In near future, it will play an important role in the life common people by improving it because of its immense importance in various fields. With the advancement in technology, these devices tend to get cheaper and become even smaller in size, thus easy to handle. The environment created using this interface provides life like experiences to its users that seem more realistic than ever compared to real world.
