Components of Virtual Reality

Virtual reality headsets are wearables that help users immerse in the virtual world like screens, cameras, motion sensors, etc.

2. Lenses & Screens

They provide virtual information to the real world by changing the perception of distance & spatial depth

3. Latency & Field of View

They create a real-like (3D) virtual image to make the virtual experience as real as possible

4. Frame Rate

It allows users to freely explore virtual space by adjusting their position using motion controllers

5. Position Tracking

Humans can see up to 1,000 images per second, so most VR headsets target a frame rate of 90 FPS

6. VR Motion Controllers

Most VR headsets come with single-cell rechargeable lithium batteries to provide portable power

7. Batteries

They are handheld devices that allow users to interact in a virtual environment like picking up things or climbing a hill
