Virtual Reality-based Modeling and Simulation

Virtual Reality is the use of modeling and simulation to enable a person to interact with a three-dimensional visual representation of a real or imaginary system in an immersive, multi-sensory, and interactive manner. The user wears goggles, headsets, gloves, or body suits to interact with the simulation. The motion sensors pick up the user’s movements and adjust his or her view and action accordingly during the interaction, usually in real-time. Virtual Reality is typically used in disciplines such as Architecture, Computer-aided Design and Manufacturing, Education, Entertainment (Movies, Video Games), Human-Computer Interaction, Medical Science, Real Estate, and Training.
