Virtual Reality (VR)

VR (virtual reality) is a computer-generated reality with (3D) images and in many cases also sound. It is transmitted via large screens, in special rooms (cave automatic virtual environment, or CAVE for short) or via a head-mounted display (video or VR glasses). Mixed reality either extends reality (augmented reality), where AR-glasses (often called data glasses) are required for the display and perception, or virtuality, in the sense of coupling with reality.

VR will certainly also play an important role in the future of digital production. Learn more about Smart Factories here.
