Virtual reality
Immersive simulation in a predominantly digital environment.
Overview
Virtual reality presents a computer-generated environment from a tracked viewpoint. It can support training, simulation and remote collaboration. Real-world tracking or passthrough may remain available even when the primary experience is virtual.
Complementary Role in the framework
Role in the Augmentiverse
VR contributes simulations, content pipelines and runtime standards. It is complementary to the framework’s physical-world-first emphasis.
How it works
Tracking updates the viewpoint; stereoscopic rendering produces views for each eye. Input devices, spatial audio and application logic create a responsive environment.
Core components
- Tracked display
- Stereo rendering
- Controllers or hand tracking
- Audio and simulation
What it enables
- Controlled environments for rehearsal and exploration.
- Reusable 3D assets and interaction systems can connect to AR workflows.
Where it is useful
- Training simulations
- Pre-construction design review
Limits and implementation choices
- Discomfort, accessibility and isolation require careful design.
- A virtual coordinate frame is not the same as a persistent physical anchor.
