For years, Virtual Reality (also known as VR) became the technology for delivering unparalleled entertainment and enjoyable experiences. But now, in various other sectors, including healthcare, this technology is gaining enormous significance. From preparation to improving current clinical procedures and technologies, VR is creating new ways to provide both patients and medical professionals with an outstanding experience. VIRTUAL REALITY The term ‘Virtual Reality’ refers to a computer-generated 3D artificial environment that appears like reality and can be experienced or explored by an individual. The user can communicate with the items around him, or take a series of actions to decide what’s going on around him. WORKING OF VR TECHNOLOGY A Virtual Reality headset, cell phone, or other computer is used in combination with the physical world, realistic images, and sounds to provide a VR experience. While the user wears the headset (or uses the lenses), a sequence of images is projected at a speed of 60 frame rate per second in front of the user to make the human mind think it is reality.
