Virtual Reality

    Virtual Reality is an area of computing that deals with the creation of three-dimensional environments that simulate the real world or fictional worlds. To this end, it uses special techniques and devices that stimulate the user's senses, which is why they are considered responsive systems, since they use the user's actions to generate sensory stimuli for them in real time. Through the use of virtual reality, it is possible to insert the user into inaccessible, critical or even remote spaces. even microscopic ones to simulate situations and events, as well as to safely promote educational, experimentation, training and telepresence activities. Due to these characteristics, virtual reality has been widely used in the development of simulators and serious games.

    By enabling the simulation of real situations, virtual reality systems provide environments that are able to monitoring user actions. This monitoring is carried out using intelligent systems that can be coupled to the system and use interaction data to evaluate user performance.

    Some examples of technologies used by virtual reality are:
• Stereoscopic visualization (3D)
• Haptics (systems that provide touch and force feedback)
• Natural Interfaces (recognition of users movements and gestures)


    LabTEVE has a long history of developing simulators for medical training and education support, also integrating virtual reality into serious games. The applications and projects with virtual reality developed by LabTEVE can be accessed directly from the projects page.
