FIVR: Difference between revisions

Full immersion virtual reality (FIVR) is a virtual environment (VE) that perceptually surrounds the user, being almost or completely indistinguishable from the physical world, therefore increasing the sense of presence. Although it hasn’t been fully realized yet, there have been some developments in technology that have contributed to the final goal of FIVR. Head mounted displays (HMDs), haptic feedback, and motion sensing have all contributed to increase the sense of immersion in the VE.
