Nowadays, this technology is thoroughly integrated into our daily life. Virtual reality is here to stay in video games, health, and education. But what precisely is it? Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated environment with realistic-looking images and objects that gives the user the feeling of being completely immersed in their surroundings. This environment is experienced using a Virtual Reality headset or helmet. VR enables us to immerse ourselves in video games as if we were one of the characters, learn how to conduct heart surgery, and increase the quality of sports training in order to maximize performance. Although this appears to be quite far in the future, its beginnings are not as recent as we would believe. Many people believe that one of the earliest Virtual Reality gadget was named ‘Sensorama’, a machine with a built-in seat that showed 3D movies, emitted odors, and created vibrations to enhance the experience. The innovation was made in the mid-1950s. Subsequent technical and software advancements over the next several years brought to a gradual change in both devices and interface design.
