The technology behind VR apps has improved a lot in recent years. This has ensured that the images and sound have not only become a lot more realistic, but also that the adoption of VR apps is happening on a larger scale by companies. It seems that new VR glasses appear on the market every day, and you no longer have to pay the top price for Virtual Reality technology.

What is Virtual Reality?


Virtual reality is a technology that allows a user to enter a virtual world through VR glasses. VR is therefore also referred to as virtual reality or false reality. Often virtual reality is visual and auditory. Nowadays smell and touch can be added for extra experience.

VR glasses show two different images to each eye. This gives the user the illusion of a 3D image. The glasses register the user's head movements and adjust the new images accordingly. VR uses 360 degree images. This creates a 3D world in which the user can look around freely and it seems as if the user is actually in the virtual world.

How does a VR app work

How does a VR app work?


We can develop VR apps for Android smartphones en iPhone. This means that there is a great potential range for a VR app. In addition, users do not need to purchase additional hardware to use the VR technology. How does this work?

A VR app works on the basis of sensors in the hardware. There are different VR glasses, such as the Oculus Rift, HTC Vive and Playstation VR. This can be done with or without a wire and as a PC accessory or as a standalone. All models have a gyroscope, accelerometer and magnetometer integrated in the glasses. These sensors are also found in most smartphones. A VR experience is created by attaching the mobile device to glasses. The most famous VR glasses are the Google Cardboard and Samsung Gear VR. We can develop a VR app that is compatible with all models.
