Virtual reality systems move closer to the mainstream

摘要

Virtual reality (VR) gives product developers the benefits of seeing real components without the cost of building prototypes. The systems that let developers explore designs in 3-D are coming down in cost, making VR more accessible for more companies.rnVR is rapidly migrating from costly, dedicated cave facilities currently affordable only for labs or very large companies. More affordable equipment now fits in rooms in the headquarters of midsize companies. That is making it much simpler for engineers to examine components and systems from all angles, seeing how they look and fit together.
