VR Show

The Virtual Reality Show was held in my class today.

Information about VR:


Virtual reality (VR) is a simulated experience that can be similar to or completely different from the real world.Applications of virtual reality can include entertainment (i.e. gaming) and educational purposes (i.e. medical or military training).Other, distinct types of VR style technology include augmented reality and mixed reality.

Currently standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic images,sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment.A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it,and interact with virtual features or items. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display with a small screen in front of the eyes, but can also be created through specially designed rooms with multiple large screens.Virtual reality typically incorporates auditory and video feedback,but may also allow other types of sensory and force feedback through haptic technology.

The Virtual Reality Modelling Language (VRML), first introduced in 1994,was intended for the development of "virtual worlds" without dependency on headsets.The Web3D consortium was subsequently founded in 1997 for the development of industry standards for web-based 3D graphics. The consortium subsequently developed X3D from the VRML framework as an archival, open-source standard for web-based distribution of VR content.WebVR is an experimental JavaScript application programming interface (API) that provides support for various virtual reality devices, such as the HTC Vive, Oculus Rift, Google Cardboard or OSVR, in a web browser.
