Back then VR was mostly a test for military flight simulators and screen technologies. History of VR starts with the very first demo of a Sword of Damocles in the MIT lab in 1968. This feeling of “presence” is the key difference between other 3D experiences and true virtual reality. This is the case because of how well we are tricked in believing virtual reality is real. Those who have the guts to step off the ledge and start virtually falling off the building, report having a feeling of fall in the stomach that mimics the real falling reflex. This makes taking that leap off the building ledge almost an impossible task for most, while others scream and shout while accomplishing this simple and harmless exercise.
However, in the virtual reality the field of view, refresh rate, resolution and other aspects of the headsets are designed in such a way that it tricks the human perceptual system into believing you are really somewhere else. In a 3D cinema, this might look, daunting, but most people would have no trouble taking the leap. The best test designed to check the existence of the “presence” is to tell a person to try and walk onto a virtual ledge of a 100 stories tall building and try to jump off it. This feeling of “presence” requires the device to trick many different facets of the human perception system. Presence is a technical term used to describe the feeling of total immersion and existence in another space that VR headsets provide to the user. The key factor differentiating 3D cinema and VR is what engineers in a VR space call “presence”. However, VR should not be mistaken for the more typical 3D content. It all started with “3D” pictures in the late 19th century and moved into 3D cinema in the mid 20th century. Over the years there were multiple attempts to take us from the realm of 2D content into the realm of 3D content. To understand what virtual reality is, we must look at the history of 3D technologies and see where VR has come from. This article will try to help PMs to better understand the technology itself (similar to our recent article about AI), to help them to manage VR projects, and to prepare for any challenges that might lie ahead when managing a VR project.
For example, Ford has used VR to help them to design their GT supercar, while Boston Children’s Hospital and multiple different other hospitals around the world have used VR as an effective replacement for painkillers. Despite all that, VR is a new type of medium for interaction with computers, and it’s been steadily breaking into the consumer and enterprise markets for the last 8 years. Some people think that VR is just a passing fad, while others praise it to be the next big thing in computing. Or you might have even tried a full-fledged VR with the HTC Vive or an Oculus Rift where you were not only able to look around but also to move and explore the new and unfamiliar space. You may have tried a very basic version of VR with Google Cardboard where you could look around and see a 360-degree picture around you. Listen to the audio version of this articleīy 2019, most people have probably seen or tried virtual reality experiences, otherwise known as VR.
