Virtual Reality (VR) is an immersive technology that allows users to experience a computer-generated environment as if it were real. By wearing a VR headset, users are transported to a virtual world that can be interactive, multi-sensory, and even photorealistic. VR can be used for a wide range of applications, such as gaming, education, therapy, and training. The technology works by tracking the user's movements and adjusting the displayed environment accordingly, creating a sense of presence and immersion. In addition to headsets, VR often involves the use of controllers or other input devices to allow users to interact with the virtual world. The potential for VR is vast, and the technology is constantly evolving to offer more realistic and engaging experiences.
In the Warrior Fab Lab, users can take virtual museum tours or open their own models in a virtual environment to examine them as if they were tangible. Digital models created in software or from 3D scanning can also be placed into a VR environment.
