Introduction to Virtual
Reality
Virtual reality
(VR) is a computer-
generated environment that
makes users feel immersed
in a virtual world.
It immerses the user in a
digital world through headsets,
controllers, and sometimes
even haptic suits.

The Evolution of Virtual Reality (VR): A Historical Journey

From Early Concepts to Modern Innovations

 Early Concepts of VR

1935: Stanley Weinbaum’s story

Pygmalion’s Spectacles – predicted
VR with a device stimulating all senses.

1838: Sir Charles Wheatstone’s

Stereoscope invention – first 3D
images using binocular vision.
 Early VR Devices & Prototypes

•1966-1968: Development of military

VR simulators; Sutherland’s Sword
of Damocles – first computer-based
VR headset.

•1956: Morton Heilig’s Sensorama –

first VR machine combining 3D video,
sound, and other sensory inputs.
 Interactive VR and Military Applications

•1975: Myron Krueger’s VIDEOPLACE

– first interactive VR platform.

•1979: McDonnell-Douglas VITAL

Helmet – integrated VR for military
use; head tracker matched pilots' eye
movements with computer-generated
imagery.
 VR Enters the Market

•1989: NASA’s Virtual Environment

Workstation Project (VIEW) for
astronauts.

•1985: VPL Research – founded by

Jaron Lanier and Thomas
Zimmerman; coined the term “Virtual
Reality” and developed VR gloves
and goggles.
 Growth and Resurgence of VR

 2012: Kickstarter raised $2.4

million for Oculus Rift.

•1991: Launch of Virtuality – first

mass-produced VR gaming
systems.
 Modern VR Breakthroughs

 2016: Rapid growth – hundreds

of companies developed VR
products.

 2020: Launch of Oculus

Quest 2 – global sales
success.
 The Next Generation of VR

 2023: Meta and Apple

announcements of Meta
Quest 3 and Apple Vision
Pro.

 2024: Apple Vision Pro release

– widely anticipated but mixed
reception due to high price.

A Semi-immersive virtual reality is a

mixture of non-immersive and fully
immersive virtual reality.

Semi-immersive virtual reality refers to

experiences where the user does
interact with a virtual environment with
some senses (but not all) cut off, but is
still completely aware of the physical
environment around them. It does offer

 Interactivity

User Interaction: VR allows users to interact

with the environment using controllers,
gestures, or voice commands, and real time
voice chats.
Real-Time Response

Low Latency: Ensures that the

actions, which is crucial for
maintaining immersion.
Motion Tracking: Tracks head,
hand, and body movements to
replicate them accurately in the
