About Us



Virtual Reality is not a new concept as it originally dates back to the mid-nineties. The first commercially available VR headset was released in 1991 by SEGA and was intended to be used in conjunction with the SEGA Mega Drive console. At the time they had used LCD screens within the headset, but these were not the same HD LCD screens that we have today. One can imagine how the VR experience back then was cutting edge, although probably abit pixelated and not as beautiful and detailed as the experiences that are available today.

The reason as to why VR has made a comeback in the 21 st century is primarily due to the advances made in technology, but more specifically mobile technology. Since the inception of the smartphone it has radically changed the way we interact and live in the world around us, now again it seems to be the platform that will lead us into a new era, a virtual era in which the possibilities are virtually endless.

Real VR was founded in 2015, as a Virtual Reality and Future Technology Company. We specialize in providing our customers with a quality VR experience. Together with business partners, designers and manufacturers we have developed the RVR Virtual Reality Headset which unlocks the power of the modern smartphone enabling anyone, everyone at any time, almost anywhere to enjoy an immersive VR experience. Real VR also has its interests in providing the latest VR accessories and works together with developers in the industry to provide VR content that is immersive and entertaining.


What is Virtual Reality?

 


Before we can talk or say something about virtual reality, we must know fully what virtual reality is. It’s a common mistake which we the common people commit often. We do not fully grasp the idea of what we are hearing or watching too. So with virtual reality becoming a hot topic, we the people, should understand what it is.

Now, what is virtual reality?


Virtual reality is an artificial environment self-created with software and displayed to the viewer in such a tricky way that the user thinks they are a part of that environment. The user begins to believe in the presented situation as if it’s a real situation. We can primarily experience virtual reality only by our two senses i.e. vision and hearing, on a computer screen.

After we understand what virtual reality actually is, the question arises, what are the different types of virtual reality?

There are various types of VR including:

  •     Improved Reality
  •     Desktop Virtual Reality
  •     Telepresence
  •     Immersive Virtual Reality
  •     QuickTime VR


From the above all mentioned or not types, the simplest form of virtual reality is a 3D image that can be seen with full interaction on a computer. The interaction happens mainly due to the manipulation of keys or the mouse in order to move the content of the image in some direction or to zoom in and zoom out.


The more complicated efforts involve approaches like wrap-up around display screens, actual rooms augmented with wearable computers and VR devices that let anyone feel the displayed images.

We further have had a question about the division of virtual reality.

Here are a few examples below:

  •     Mock-up of real environment for training and educational purposes.
  •     Expansion of imagined ideas into an interactive form i.e. gaming or interactive story like movies.

The Virtual Reality Modeling Language (VRML) lets the creator make specific images and rules to be followed while display and interaction utilizes textual language statements.

While there are many forms of VR and many industries which are sure to use VR, the above shows what VR is as well as some of the different forms we can expect to see VR in.
