Virtual Reality, the coming of age technology.

Virtual and Real. If I am teaching a language class, I would say these two are antonyms or words with opposite meanings. But interestingly these words together formed the latest innovation in technology i.e. Virtual Reality. 'what is virtual reality?' technically, Virtual reality is the term used to describe a three-dimensional,computer generated environment which can be explored and interacted with by a person. That person becomes  a part of this virtual world or is immersed within this environment and whilst there, is able to manipulate objects or perform a series of actions.

In simple terms, it's going to change the way we used to interact with a computer, play a video game or watch a movie. Not only this, it is useful in other fields as well like Architecture, Medicine, Sports and Arts. There are several tools to achieve this virtual reality like, VR-Headsets, Special e-gloves and other sensors. Currently this is still in rudimentary stage but I believe it has a larger role to play in the future.

If you want to try and experience the Virtual Reality, here are some devices you can choose from:

#1. HTC Vive: The best so far and is available for about 799 Us Dollars. (not available in India as of now)

#2. Occulus Rift: This is a good alternative to Vive, if not better, at a lower price point of about 599 Us Dollars.(not available in India officially)

#3. Samsung Gear VR: Affordable and still a good enough choice. Though works only with Samsung phones. Price is about 199 Us Dollars (Rs 8200 in India)

#4. Google Cardboard: The cheapest option. Best for those who just wanted to see once how it feels like. Can be bought for as low as 15 Us dollars. (you can get it for about 200 Rs in India)

#5. Lenovo ANT VR headset: You can buy it for about 1100 Rs. (comes free with some lenovo mobiles.)

That's all for now, have a great day...
