Virtual Reality

The one which you experience through VR Headsets,seems like real but isn’t ( Just like Life )

What else is it used for?

1. Military Training & simulating battlefields

A military for a country is given a high priority. So VR is used fo the optimum level of training to the soldier’s where lots of resources are required and the hefty sum is spent in creating mock battlefields.

So what role would VR play here?

– The cost for training would reduce drastically

– Could be used to simulate real battlefield experience.

– Now, soldiers are trained virtually, like dealing with lethal explosives or grenades, teaching emergency medical treatment or flying fighter plain. All these military training stuff can be easily taught soldiers virtually and plenty of resources can be preserved.

2. Education

Visual experience provides a real and more understandable solution to modern syllabus of the education.

Currently, VR is used by Doctors to practice several surgeries with minimal real resources.

3. Handling Nuclear Stuff

– Handling Nuclear stuff is not a child’s play, a small mishandle could lead to an unforgettable disaster.

– So VR could be used to provide a secure virtual environment for the nuclear training.

– A similar program called VISIBLE has already been implemented.

Where is VR Development Heading towards?

In short, with the pace in development of Javascript, Javascript developers have a bright future in VR Development. And VR development in particular has just started it’s industry here and has a long way to go. =)

Have a great day!
