Introduction of Virtual Reality to Interior and Architectural

Design

Is it ready for the mass use?

Virtual reality (VR) typically refers to computer technologies that use software to

generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real

environment (or create an imaginary setting), and simulate a user's physical

presence in this environment, by enabling the user to interact with this space and

any objects depicted therein using specialized display screens or projectors and

other devices.

Wikipedia

The sensors track the head motion and readjust the environment accordingly.

Rotation concerns tilting of the head up and down/side to sideTranslation occurs when the viewer moves through the space

Virtual Reality technical implementation

● Accelerometer,

● Gyroscope,

● Proximity Sensor,

● Magnetometer

MTP (Motion to Photon) Latency

Vestibular mismatch - perceived difference between the body’s vestibular system and visual system

Motion sickness (nausea)

Comfortable MTP Latency less than 20ms
