controlled by a data glove, head mounted display and other
gadgets.
Head Mounted Display
• Consists of two miniature display screens that produces the stereoscopic
images and an optical position tracking system

• It tracks the orientation of the humans head in the Virtual world and that
produces the impulse to the image generating large projection Areas to get more
immersive feeling.

• Characteristics: walk through, look around, fly through in the 3d Virtual world

• Architectural Design- Architectural design firms and various
clients in the real estate industry to tour virtual models of
proposed building designs.
How Virtual Reality works?

is with the stereoscopic display. This works by displaying two slightly different
angles of the scene to each eye, simulating depth.
• On Android, your phone's accelerometer, gyroscope and
magnetometer are used to achieve movement of the
headset. The accelerometer is used to detect three
dimensional movement with the gyroscope being used to
detect angular movement.

• Using these sensors, your phone can accurately predict


where you are looking at any given time while using VR.
Google Cardboard
Google Cardboard is a virtual reality (VR) platform developed by Google for use
with a head mount for a smartphone. Named for its fold-out cardboard viewer,
