What is Virtual Reality ?.
In simple words, technology is bringing you an opportunity to watch movies,play games etc. As you are really watching it with your own eyes, in 360 degree view. You will get a three dimensional life sized image from your point of view. That will bring more reality to every fantasy movies you are watching. If you are abroad and you are a regular Skype user, think about you are watching your dear ones as you are near to them. So we cant predict the usability of a Virtual Headset now. It will be far more than our imaginations.
