NON-IMMERSIVE VIRTUAL REALITY
Non-immersive virtual experiences are often overlooked as a virtual reality category because
it’s already so commonly used in everyday life. This technology provides a computer-generated
environment, but allows the user to stay aware of and keep control of their physical
environment. Non-immersive virtual reality systems rely on a computer or video game console,
display, and input devices like keyboards, mice, and controller.
Window on world Virtual Reality Desktop- based Virtual Reality involves displaying a 3-
dimensional virtual on regular desktop display without use of any specialized movement
tracking environment.

APPLICATION OF VIRTUAL REALITY IN REAL WORLD
Manufacturers and engineers could make use of VR to visualize the models and how they
would work. A lot of different work goes into the making of an automobile. From designing
to testing, VR can help the automotive industry. The use of VR would also make sure to
reduce the cost production by showing the issues in the VR simulation itself.
VR for Training in Dangerous Jobs
Virtual Reality technology can be used to train specialists who have dangerous jobs.
With the help of VR, trainees can be put into simulated situations of stress and
difficulty. By sitting in a safe place, they could experience the danger safely. It would
give them a better understanding of how to deal with such scenarios if they happen in
real life.
