One of the latest technologies that have taken the world by storm is Virtual Reality. It is a relatively new technology but it is spreading fast because of its innumerable benefits. Apart from that, it has been adopted by several industries. Nothing compares to convenience.
One of the industries that have embraced virtual reality is real estate. Real estate agents now adopt the technology in several ways. Virtual reality has made the traditional building plan obsolete. The technology allows an architect to upload the images of a yet-to-erected building and present it to investors. Even though the images cannot be like the real physical building it is far better than cardboard plan. It conveys more information than what one hundred plans can convey.
In a few years, virtual reality won't be seen as some kind of luxury, rather it will be a must as architects who are yet to adopt it will gradually run out of business. Think of it, if two architects present the same structural plan to you separately. One presents it via the normal cardboard plan while the other uploads the images on virtual reality platform. Which one will get your approval even if it is the same that was presented in both cases? It will definitely be the one that has adopted virtual reality.
Another area where it is being adopted is when a real estate agent has several homes to either sell or lease. Instead of inviting prospective buyers to the locations, he can design the 3D images of the buildings and upload them on virtual reality platform. He will just need to show them to his prospective buyers in the comfort of their home or office. They don't have to waste some time driving through to the locations and even burning some fuel.
In a situation of foreclosure defense, your attorney might need to show the home to the judge in other to prove a point or two. He may want to build a case that the house was overpriced from the beginning. But instead of the judge to adjourn the case to give him some time to send some people to assess the home, he may just see the images through virtual reality platform and take his decision immediately after.
The technology has also been adopted in medicine too. Surgeons now make use of it to see the exact location of a tumor in the patient's body. This helps them determine the best place to make incisions through which the tumor would be removed easily with little or no chances of complication. There are other areas of medicine where virtual reality is being adopted too.
Automobile manufacturers have already begun to use the technology. Instead of having their engineers sit down and assess the physical prototype of a new model of vehicle, the engineers can just view its virtual prototype on virtual reality platform and make their recommendations. The beauty of this is that the prototype can be assessed even before the production of a physical prototype. The physical one will only be manufactured if the engineers are satisfied with the virtual prototype.
A lot of cinemas have also begun to adopt the technology. The combination of the sound coming from every corner and the 3D effect of the movie will make you feel like a part of the movie. It sure feels like all the actions are happening around you. With the use of virtual reality, you are an invisible member of a cast of every movie you watch.
This technology is spreading fast among cinemas because those that are yet to adopt the technology are beginning to witness a drastic drop in patronage. The drop is inevitable. When you get to see two or more movies via virtual reality, watching movies on the conventional TV set will definitely become very boring.
Virtual reality technology actually hit the gaming industry first. In fact, any new game that does not support the virtual reality technology is already a failure. Ever since this technology hit the gaming industry, people now spend hours in game houses playing some of these virtual reality driven games.
The effect you feel while watching movies through virtual reality is exactly same with gaming on the same platform. But gaming goes a step further because you are in total control. You are not in control of any of the movies, you just watch things unfold "around" you. But with virtual reality games you have a lot of say.
