Virtual Reality is the technology that bring to a unreal world where people join together through applications or hardware. So what Virtual reality meaning is for our life?
1. What is Virtual Reality (VR)
Using virtual reality will enable end-users to interact with virtual components or to locations where they actually don’t need to visit in reality.
VR is a new trend, which helps to change the way end-users interact, visually access information, stimulate end-users as in the real world.

2. Virtual Reality history
According to wikipedia, virtual reality is not a new invention, but in 1962, Morton Heilig (USA) invented the SENSORAMA simulation device.
However, like many other industries, virtual reality just has beed widely applied in recent years thanks to the emergence of computing (software), and computers (hardware). Nowadays, VR has become a real industry and the VR market is dramatically increasing.
3. Virtual Reality technology
When it comes to VR as a new technology, which requires combining many technological factors, both hardware and software.
One of them is the virtual reality headset screen that is based on technology developed for smartphone devices such as:
- Gyroscope and motion sensor to track head, body, and hand positions.
- Small screen for stereoscopic display, and small, light and fast computer processor
Virtual reality glasses promise to be an indispensable device for young living.
Virtual reality price is quite expensive due to the cost of making those virtual reality glasses.

4. How VR can apply in business
Virtual reality is applied in various fields, one of them can tell below:
4.1 Eduational applications
In the field of education, virtual reality is used in helping students that take part in virtual classes so that they can interact and understand lessons visually and easily.
Through virtual reality, memorizing lesson content will become much easier than traditional learning methods.

4.3 Training applications
In the training category, virtual reality is used to help learners who play in characters to complete tests, training situations, or support practice more smoothly.
4.4 Heavy industry applications for creating virtual prototypes
Virtual reality will create material samples for testing without having to create it in reality. This saves the cost of producing a template, avoiding environmental pollution, and expanding testing space.
4.5 Construction – Architecture applications
In the field of construction, architecture, virtual reality will help engineers create realistic architecture and designs as in the real world.
Engineers can experience all aspects of the building from the layout of rooms, equipment, or small parts such as switches, sockets, plumbing,..
To end-users, they have the most real feeling before making decision to sign a contract for buying a house.
4.6 Entertainment – VR game applications
In the world of entertainment, we have witnessed various success of Pokemon Go. That success of game is a testament that virtual reality brings in the entertainment field.
By transforming into characters, experiencing in virtual reality space is filled with colors, smooth, and vivid images, which will be the ideal technology bringing a great experience for game players, the best games, and the most realistic experience.
Although virtual reality brings various values, there are some virtual reality issues:
- End-users will get into troubles of eyes due to using the device regularly.
- It is not suitable for people who have heart-related problems, because it can surprise them in some situations.
- The price is not cheap, which limits some people to access this technology.
