1. In the development of science and technology
Virtual reality can shorten the development cycle and reduce the cost. For example, at the beginning of 1998, Chrysler designed two new cars using virtual reality technology, and made a breakthrough, which made the designed new cars directly put into the production line from the computer screen for the first time, that is to say, the trial production in the middle was completely omitted. Thanks to excellent virtual reality technology, Chrysler avoided 65,438+0,500 design errors, saving 8 months of development time and 80 million dollars. Virtual reality technology can also be used to carry out automobile collision tests, and the collision consequences in different situations can be displayed without real vehicles. Nowadays, virtual reality technology, together with theoretical analysis and scientific experiments, has become the three major means for human beings to explore the laws of the objective world. Using it to design new materials, we can know in advance the influence of changing composition on material properties. Before the material is made, we know how the parts made of this material are damaged under different stress conditions.
Step 2 do business
Virtual reality is often used for promotion. For example, when bidding for construction projects, virtual reality technology can be used to express the design scheme, so that the owners can take them into the future buildings to visit, such as the height of doors, the orientation of windows, the amount of lighting, interior decoration and so on. And they can feel the same way. It can also be used to promote tourist attractions and commodities with multiple functions and uses. Because using virtual reality technology to show the charm of this kind of goods is more attractive than simply using words or pictures to promote it.
3. Medically
There are roughly two types of virtual reality applications. First, the virtual human body, that is, the digital human body, makes it easier for doctors to understand the structure and function of the human body. The other is a virtual surgery system, which can be used to guide the operation. In military affairs, using virtual reality technology to simulate the process of war has become the most advanced method to study war and train commanders quickly and economically. It is precisely because of the highly developed virtual reality technology that nuclear weapons can be continuously improved even without nuclear testing. The war laboratory can also play a great role in testing the predetermined scheme for actual combat. 199 1 before the start of the gulf war, the us military entered various natural environments in the gulf region and various data of the Iraqi army into the computer, simulated various operational plans, and made a preliminary operational plan. Later, the development of actual combat and the results of simulation experiments are quite consistent.
Step 4 entertain
Application is the most extensive use of virtual reality. A ski simulator sold in Britain. Users wear ski suits, snowboards, ski sticks, helmet monitors on their heads and sensors on their hands and feet. Although you are in the cabin, as long as you are doing all kinds of skiing, you can see the snow-covered mountains, canyons and steep cliffs passing by through the helmet display, which is just like skiing in a ski resort.
5. Now
Virtual reality technology not only creates virtual scenes, but also creates virtual hosts, virtual singers and virtual actors. DiKi, a singer launched by Japanese TV station, is not only charming in singing, but also charming in style, attracting countless fans. Many fans want to see her face, forcing the TV station to explain that she is just a virtual singer. Disney is also preparing to launch virtual actors. This will make the "actor" art forever youthful and energetic. The sky-high star pay is another reason for using virtual actors. After the virtual actor becomes the protagonist of the film, the film will become a branch of the software industry. Software companies will develop countless virtual actor softwares for people to choose from. Of course, in terms of humor and human feelings, virtual actors can never be compared with real actors for a long time, but they can really become excellent actors. Not long ago, the heroine in the computer game program Tomb Raider was selected as a world-famous figure, which indicates the arrival of the virtual actor era.
