VR works by rendering realistic 3D environments or stitching real photos of real places and people to create 180 or 360 degrees virtual space and tracking the user’s movements. The VR headset provides visuals and sometimes audio, while sensors and cameras track the user’s movements to adjust the perspective in the virtual world.

What are the best VR headsets available?

Some popular VR headsets are Oculus Quest and PICO

VR ZEN offers a wide range of experiences, meditation and entertainment to education,  training simulations,  and even virtual tourism. 

VR can be very immersive, especially with high-quality hardware and well-designed experiences. Users often feel a strong sense of presence and engagement in the virtual environment.

Prolonged use of VR can sometimes lead to motion sickness, eye strain, or disorientation, especially if the hardware isn’t optimised or if the user is prone to these issues. Taking breaks and using quality equipment can help minimise these concerns.

Augmented reality (AR) overlays digital elements onto the real world, enhancing what you see, while virtual reality (VR) creates an entirely digital environment that replaces the real world around you.

VR has applications in education for interactive learning experiences and simulations. In healthcare, it’s used for training medical professionals, exposure therapy, pain management, and more. Its potential spans across industries, offering realistic and controlled environments for various purposes.
