Survey on Latest Trends, Challenges, & Future Scope in Virtual Reality Applications

摘要

During the last decade a lot of advances in computer hardware, display devices, control devices, software enhancements has tremendously supported Virtual Reality (VR) Technology to grow from leaps to bounds. VR is a systematic scientific technology developed as a part of exploration of nature by humans to deeply understand, simulate and adapt this technology in various engineering applications, entertainment purpose, as a learning aid etc. An in-depth understanding of trends, challenges, future scope for VR systems is discussed. In this survey a conscious effort has been put forward to investigate the state of the art in VR Technologies and its diversified engineering application areas. Various aspects of the design of a VR system are taken into considered like the interface devices for interacting with virtual world, software’s, the hardware etc. Also described are a few specific applications that have been developed and possible avenues for future research. Latest trends & evolution of this technology have been touched upon for better understanding. Various applications have been explored and possible approach for enhancing the use of this technology have been discussed. We have discussed some of the limitations in developing such systems. Tools available for development of VR applications that satisfy the current requirements are included. Future directions and suggestions for effectively and efficiently improving the application areas have been focused upon. This paper will provide a better insight for anyone who wishes to do research in the field of VR.
