Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is defined as the computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional image or environment that the user interacts with in seemingly real and physical ways - using special electronic equipment - such as a helmet with a screen inside or gloves fitted with sensors (Oxford Dictionary). When using VR, people’s senses - including vision, hearing, touch, and even smell - are stimulated. The head-mounted display system with binocular screens, stereo sound, and movement-tracking follows the user’s head movements and alters the virtual environment based on these movements. A scent machine that uses compressed air diffuses scented substances, making the experience even more life-like (Strickland).
