Project Proposal

1. What is the project name? 

This Project is called "Virtual Reality So Far!". It will be an individual project with just me! It would take a deep dive investigation into the trends in Virtual Reality and where it is headed. 

2. What exactly is this project about?

Virtual Reality So Far! This project is important because it will make investigations into the what virtual reality is and how far it has come, where it is headed and so on. I think this project is worthwhile because Virtual Reality (VR) is the use of computer technology to create a simulated environment. And it incorporates all kinds of multimedia like audio, images and video to create a new virtual, computer generated environment. Unlike traditional user interfaces, VR places the user inside an experience. Instead of viewing a screen in front of them, users are immersed and able to interact with 3D worlds.

 3. What has been done already? 

So far, thousands of paper have been published about the evolution of VR, Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality Interfaces (MRITF) over the past few decades. Especially in the last 5-6 years, VR and AR sparked lots of interest in investors and the Whole world especially afetr Mark Zuckerberg bought Oculus for two billion dollars (Luckerson, 2014; Castelvecchi, 2016). The study of VR was initiated in the computer graphics field and has been extended to several disciplines (The study of VR was initiated in the computer graphics field and has been extended to several disciplines (Sutherland, 1965, 1968; Mazuryk and Gervautz, 1996; Choi et al., 2015). Currently, video games supported by VR tools are more popular than in the past, and they represent valuables, work-related tools for neuroscientists, psychologists, biologists, and other researchers as well.

 4. Research approach 

Much is still to be determined with the approach for research of the project but a general study into Virtual reality what to expect in the VR industry in the next ten to twenty years would be studied. 

5. What are the expected deliverables? 

The major deliverable of the project will be a project report. The report will lay out all the information studied and done for the project. Also, visual demonstrations of techniques and interesting findings would be made where applicable.
