Immersive Virtual Reality: what it consists of and examples
We are currently witnessing the exponential growth of immersive technologies, where the Virtual Realitytechnology capable of transport us to completely digital worldsis its main representative.
In this article we will go a step further to learn about what is the Immersive Virtual RealityThe following are some of the examples that are already being applied at the present time.
What is Immersive Virtual Reality?
Immersive Virtual Reality is defined as the technology that is capable of immersing the user in computer-generated worlds. A 360º experience only accessible through Virtual Reality (VR) glasses/helmets, haptic suits, controllers, gloves and/or masks that play with the sense of smell. Everything to go beyond the sense of sight and be able to hear, smell and feel these new digital experiences.
The main advantage of immersive Virtual Reality is that the user experiences an immersive total immersiona sensation of teleportation to other worlds or space, where it also has a great freedom of movement and the user takes control of where to direct their attention.
Differences between Immersive, Semi-immersive and Non-immersive Virtual Reality
How does immersive Virtual Reality differ from other types? In addition to immersive Virtual Reality, there are other options and typologies that allow to adapt the degree of immersion of the experience depending on the needs of each project. These are the Semi-immersive Virtual Reality and the Non-immersive Virtual Reality.
In the Non-immersive Virtual Reality, the 3D virtual environment is displayed by means of a screen. Through controllers and other lightweight accessories, the user can experience, move and explore the virtual world, but immersion is limited. Non-immersive Virtual Reality is the technology that can be found in the majority of video games of the present that use the first person to play.
On the other hand, we find the Semi-immersive Virtual Realitywhat we commonly know as simulators. Semi-immersive Virtual Reality is precisely the intermediate point between the two previous degrees of immersion. Where you also interact with the virtual environment through screens, however, these screens envelop the user and virtually simulate what you would see from that angle.
The great characteristic of this type of Virtual Reality is that the user is required to maintain contact with elements of the real world, physical and realistic objectives, to immerse and move through the virtual environment. Recreations of racing cars, cabins of heavy machinery or aircraft controls are some of the immersive experiences that are based on this technology. All kinds of simulators in which users, in addition to playing, can train and educate themselves. in detail.
Examples of Immersive Virtual Reality by sector
Here are some of them examples of immersive Virtual Reality experiences total that have already been implemented today in a multitude of sectors. From education and training, through Industry 4.0. or even in marketing and retail actions of all types of companies.
ᐅ In the world of education, Immersive Virtual Reality changes the way children and students learn about the world.. With this technology and thanks to Virtual Reality glasses, children can visit any country, travel to the past, discover marine fauna or other planets in the solar system. All in experiences such as those presented by the Kai XR platform. Where students can discover the pyramids of Egypt and even see how a NASA rocket is prepared by being one of the team.
One of the great examples of the entry of Virtual Reality into the industrial sector is the Virtual TrainingsVR customized trainings for professional training, which have already been implemented by companies such as Global Spedition (logistics) or Boehringer Ingelheim (pharmaceutical).
ᐅ Another clear example of the use of the. Immersive Virtual Reality that we are currently experiencing is their incorporation into the marketing campaigns. Where companies can foster engagement and brand bonding by creating memorable, attractive and different experiences to what users are used to seeing.
A project that stands out in this area is the one carried out by Ibercaja for the promotion of the ski season in the Aragonese Pyrenees. Thanks to Virtual Reality goggles and the total immersion generated by a physical and virtual suspension bridgeIn addition, users can experience the vertigo and adrenaline rush of crossing from one peak to another and enjoy skiing, all without leaving the city.
