Virtual Reality (VR) is an artificial environment which is created by the new computer technology. ‘Virtual’ means nearly real and ‘reality’ is what humans can experience in our daily life (Virtual Reality Society, 2020). VR world can be nearly like or entirely different from the real world and it can make you believe that you are somewhere else.
The most common way to dive into a VR world is by using Virtual Reality Headset. VR Headsets give users a new experience by immersing themselves in a virtual environment through a first-person perspective (Bhanji, 2018). It also uses Head Tracking and Motion Tracking to let users interact with the VR world. Users can actually throw and pick up items like in real life when using the VR system.
VR uses widely. VR is applied in many different fields such as entertainment, medical, sport, art. According to Hill (2016, p.3), VR can help medical trainees to enhance surgical skills and give them other benefits like time, money, and the safety of patients. It allows us to make mistakes in the virtual world and we can gain more experience from those mistakes. This technology is getting cheaper and more popular day by day.
