The concept of virtual reality in amusement parks and theme parks is not new, they had been offering virtual reality experiences to their customers through scenic railways and slow moving roller coasters rides that simulated extrusions to faraway places by incorporating painted murals along the route. This was followed by dark rides which moved passengers in vehicles through indoor show buildings that displayed screens. As the technology advanced VR headsets came in and became all the rage. People used to play games using VR headsets and the theme parks found it fascinating. Many theme parks either incorporated a VR component into their existing rides or added new VR rides to their parks. Now you can find at least one virtual reality theme park in the USA, Brazil, Argentina, Israel, Mexico and almost every country.
What actually is a virtual reality, let’s find out.
Virtual reality in the simplest form means experiencing things through the computer that don’t really exist. It is an interactive 3D computer created world that can be explored wearing a head-mounted display (HMD) commonly known as VR headset to make you feel you are there, both mentally and physically giving you one of a kind experience.
Types of Virtual Reality
Fully immersive
For the complete VR experience, 3 things are needed. First, a plausible, and richly detailed virtual world to explore; a computer model or simulation. Second, a powerful computer that can detect our motions and adjust the experience accordingly in real time. Third, hardware linked to the computer that fully immerses the individual in the virtual world as they roam around. Usually, people need to put on a head-mounted display (HMD) with two screens and stereo sound, and wear sensory gloves. Additionally, a room fitted with surround-sound speakers is needed where changing images are projected from outside.
Non-immersive
Highly realistic flight simulator especially if it uses a very wide screen, with headphones or surround sound, and a realistic joystick and other controls is non-immersive VR. Not everyone would want to be fully immersed in an alternative reality. The game creators build a detailed 3D model of a new building to show to clients that can be explored on a desktop computer by moving a mouse. This doesn’t take you back hundreds or thousands of years or create the sounds, smells, and tastes of prehistory, but gives a much richer experience than a few pastel drawings or an animated movie.
The VR amusement park rides are based on these two types offering people a real experience of the world they will never want to get in.
