Virtual reality allows its users
to immerse in and interact with
a computer generated
3-dimensional environment that
simulates reality using a range
of interactive devices.
Multisensory immersion involves
stimulating multiple senses simultaneously to create realistic virtual
experiences. This technology is used in collaborative decision-making and
laboratory experimentation. It aims to enhance the feeling of presence and
realism within virtual environments by engaging senses beyond just sight and
sound. Integrating multisensory elements, such as touch, smell, and taste,
significantly enhances the user's engagement and the overall experience, making
virtual environments more impactful and engaging.
One example of an immersive sensory
experience is a virtual reality game that allows players to explore a virtual
world through a headset and handheld controllers. As players move through the
virtual environment, they can see, hear, and interact with objects and
characters in the game.
