Description
Summary:Virtual reality (VR) is an advanced, human-computer interface that simulates a realistic environment. The participants can move around in the virtual world. They can see it from different angles, reach into it, grab it and reshape it. Cyberspace is thought of as the ultimate virtual reality environment. It is an alternative computer universe where data exists like cities of light. Information workers use a special virtual reality system to enter cyberspace and to travel its data highways. The paper discusses the latest developments in virtual reality. It considers applications in engineering and medical fields.
