Estate agents are now able to prospective clients around properties without ever having to visit them! This is due to the invention of Julian Eyre who has been prefecting the virtual reality system for over a decade that enables the virtual reality users to throw away their headsets & move around freely in virtual reality, by literally entering the world of VR. This giant leap forward comes when you stop inside the VR sphere and the virtual images are projected on the walls around you.
The sphere consists of jigsaw shaped pieces of translucent polycarbonate, so the image, which is projected from outside the sphere, can shine through to the inside. The sphere rotates on rollers, as the person inside walks and turns. The movement is monitored by a series of tracking balls, located underneath the sphere, and the information is then used by the computer to synchronise the sphere's movement with the projected images. The system has five projectors giving the user a 360 dgree vision.
This invention is bound to have an enormous potential. Architects who have been using virtual reality to design buildings will now be able to walk around within a design & actually see how the space feels before it is built.
