What are the main types of Virtual Reality?
There are three main types of virtual reality. These are non-immersive, semi-immersive and fully-immersive simulations each providing a slightly different experience.
Non-immersive simulations are often overlooked for VR Adelaide as they are already so common in everyday life. These are where a computer generated environment is created but users are able to keep control and stay aware of their physical environment. A good example of this would be computer gaming, where whole worlds have been created but the player only views them on a screen and manipulates them using a control stick, mouse or keyboard.
Semi-immersive virtual reality Adelaide provide users with a partially virtual environment. As such, they get the perception of being in a different reality, but also remain connected to their physical surroundings. The realism comes through 3D graphics, known as vertical reality depth, with more detailed graphics resulting in a more immersive feeling. It is often used for an educational experience or training purposes.
Fully-immersive simulations provide the most realistic VR, with sight and sound adding to overall sensation. To experience and interact with fully-immersive virtual reality Adelaide, you need VR glasses or a head mount display (HMD). These provide high-resolution and wide field of view. The display is typically split between the eyes, creating a 3D effect. This type of virtual reality experience has been adapted for games and offering hours of entertainment and fun. However, there is wide potential use in other industries.
Which industries use VR?
As you can see from the above, VR is more than having fun playing games. Multiple Adelaide industries will be able to benefit from a virtual reality experience. This includes the hospitality industry with Adelaide Gaol or the South Austria Museum using the technology to conduct virtual tours as a sample to increase visitors or as a paid experience from anywhere in the world. In hotels guests can see where they will be staying and select the best room based on a VR tour.
Another key industry where VR can play a big role in Adelaide is construction. Virtual reality can make it easier to include every stakeholder in a project from early on in the design process. Architects can create 3D renders that builders, designers, investors and buyers can explore before the construction phase begins. Contractors can spot costly issues early on in the build process, designers can get started on their work, even being able to see what finished versions will look like and select colour schemes – which can be a big help when trying to attract investment and buyers.
How can VR help businesses?
If you think about virtual reality Adelaide as a business tool rather than a fun way of playing games then it opens up a lot of doors and possibilities. There are multiple ways that virtual reality is ready to be used for business. For example, property marketing is using virtual walkthroughs of homes in Kilburn, offices in the Pirie Tower and major developments such as those on Kangaroo Island. A VR experience can help clients envisage a new build, remodel or extension.
Virtual reality Adelaide can also help in tourism and leisure businesses. Imagine a boutique hotel on the North Brighton beachside that allows guests the chance to explore and experience the hotel before booking their visit. They can check out the rooms on offer, look around the lobby and leisure facilities, and even enjoy the view from the window.
Virtual reality can also be used for data management, allowing complex financial data to be displayed in a more easy to understand way. As VR tools get more sophisticated they can select information to display in new ways to allow full interaction with data in more effective ways that save time and improve results.
There is potential in recruitment too, with virtual interviews for remote positions set up to encourage a more flowing and less tense interview environment. It can also be used to walk candidates through relevant case studies. The same applies to training, with virtual reality scenarios being capable of replicating real world situations in realistic ways. For example, you could set up an experience to search for a lost child at the Adelaide Oval to train security staff.
Perhaps the most exciting use of virtual reality Adelaide is in customer experiences. Businesses can use virtual reality to sell their goods and services to the world. Using VR, businesses can create virtual showrooms so customers can experience their products, you can allow virtual ‘test drives’ and even use virtual staff to make sales at all hours of the day and night. With more commerce-focused technology hitting the shelves all the time, expect this to become a more common way to sell in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does PlayStation virtual reality cost?
In Australia, the PlayStation VR2 console is currently available to preorder, with prices ranging from $879 to $960.
Can you still buy PlayStation VR?
While the original PlayStation VR is still in production, it’s not currently available at any Australian retailers. The upcoming virtual reality headset, the Playstation VR2, is set for release on the 22nd of February 2023.
Does Sony do virtual reality?
Sony is indeed involved in the development and production of virtual reality (VR) technology. Sony has released several VR products, including the PlayStation VR headset, which allows users to experience immersive virtual environments.
In fact, Sony has been deeply involved in the VR and AR (augmented) reality scenes since 1996—and they’re showing no signs of slowing down. It has recently new VR goggles known as the PlayStation VR2, which will open up new opportunities for the current PlayStation 5 console.
Is HoloLens 2 VR or AR?
Hololens 2 is an AR system, with AR glasses differing from virtual reality headsets in one key way. A VR headset blocks out the world around the viewer, leaving only the view of the metaverse and graphical environment around them. Augmented reality glasses, meanwhile, are see-through and mean that people can see both the real world and the virtual landscape.
Is Meta going to be VR?
Yes. The Meta Quest 2 is leading the VR world with its immersive gaming and virtual experience opportunities. Meta’s also working on a high-end VR headset, under the codename “Project Cambria”. This headset will overtake the Quest in terms of its capabilities and will be more suitable for workers who could even replace their laptop or PC with this interactive hardware.
Does the HP Reverb work with SteamVR?
Yes, the HP Reverb is compatible with SteamVR. All you need to do is download and install the Steam app, plug in your HP Reverb G2, and launch the Steam app. Next, click the VR icon within the Steam interface and follow the instructions to connect your headset.
How do I use my HP VR headset?
The HP VR headset is easy to set up. Just connect your headset to a compatible computer using the included cables and install the required software by following the on-screen instructions. Next, turn on your controllers and follow the guide to set up your VR space.
Is HP compatible with VR?
Yes, many of HP’s hardware offerings are compatible with their VR and MR headsets, including many of their desktop PC and laptop models.
Why did Google stop VR?
Google began its VR shutdown in 2019. In its statement, Google claimed there was difficulty encouraging consumers to use their phones for VR, and this meant limited access to apps. The company also said they hadn’t benefited from the reach or adoption among consumers or developers that they’d hoped for. It’s around this time they also open-sourced their Cardboard project.
Does Google have a virtual reality headset?
Yes. The Google Cardboard is an extremely accessible, affordable (available for under $10 on Amazon) headset which users can easily put together themselves before entering into a quality immersive VR experience.
Does Apple have VR glasses?
Not yet, but Apple’s VR and mixed reality headset is in the works. It’s likely to stand up as a strong competitor to established VR headsets in the industry and to be the company’s predecessor to its AR glasses.
Is Apple VR a thing?
Definitely. Apple’s confirmed they’re working on VR, and their proposed headset is rumoured to be a real competitor with the Meta Quest 2, the PSVR 2, and all other leading headsets within the space. The headset’s rumoured to be Apple’s precursor to AR-focused glasses.
Is Amazon working on virtual reality?
Amazon has been working on VR hardware since 2017, and is expected to fight to become one of the world’s leading VR brands. Amazon XR is already widely used for commercial purposes, and we can expect further Amazon MR brands and AR brands to tether more towards entertainment use.
How does Amazon use augmented reality?
Amazon currently allows shoppers to liaise with AR brands to place digital products in the home. This helps consumers to assess if things like the colour or size of an item will work in a room. However, Amazon is expected to grow its Amazon VR and Amazon AR business models further in the near future.
Is mixed reality the future of AR & VR?
Yes. Mixed reality takes the best features of AR and VR and blends them into an incredible user experience. Users can interact with the physical and virtual world seamlessly, with MR replicating their natural behaviour and changes in perspectives. This goes beyond the traditional approaches of VR and AR, which place users within a space or overlay the physical world with additional information.
What are the disadvantages of VR?
VR does have a few notable disadvantages for users, such as the risk of dizziness and nausea when inhabiting the virtual environment. There are also concerns that too much time spent in virtual reality can damage eyesight. Some of the headsets used to enter virtual environments are also quite heavy and uncomfortable to wear.
What is the difference between AR and VR?
Although augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are similar in their concept, they have a few notable differences. AR requires a real-world environment to function, whereas VR creates a virtual world. AR allows users to manipulate real-world surroundings, but VR can’t do this. VR uses specialised hardware such as headsets, while AR doesn’t.
What is the price of VR?
Prices for virtual reality vary dramatically depending on the type of virtual reality hardware used. Off-the-shelf virtual reality headsets currently cost anywhere from $400 to $1,000 for a standard VR setup. However, more bespoke options are much more expensive due to the customisation and capabilities of the systems.
Who invented virtual reality?
Virtual reality was initially conceived in 1968 by Ivan Sutherland and Bob Sproull. Together, they created a head-mounted virtual reality display known as the Sword of Damocles that was directly connected to a computer. It was a cumbersome device that was suspended from a ceiling, which is where the name came from.
What is the future of virtual reality?
The future of virtual reality looks very promising thanks to further innovations and technology associated with virtual worlds. Many of the barriers that virtual reality presents, such as motion sickness or asset clipping, will be removed due to improvements in the technology and tools applicable to virtual reality.vr
