Virtual reality is near-reality that you can experience with the help of a computer generated environment. It is a technology that is in the process of continuous evolution. The power of technology is used so well in Virtual Reality that it lets one go into a fascinating world, with the help of a virtual reality headset and motion tracking.

How does VR work?

Virtual reality uses computer technology and creates a three-dimensional world which is a simulated version that the user can be part of. In this virtual reality experience, the user’s motions can be tracked, especially the head and eye movements. This motion tracking helps in the adjustment of the images on the user’s display which reflect the perspective change.

Virtual reality occurs in computer-generated simulations that allow the users to use different electronic equipment to interact with and control the environment. VR technology makes use of VR headsets, advanced controllers, surround systems, platforms for walking and controlling the action etc.

How do the VR headsets for iPhone work?

Though Apple does not have dedicated VR gear, most of the VR headsets that are available in the market are compatible with iPhone.

VR headsets come under two categories:

• Mobile VR headsets
• Tethered VR headsets

Mobile headsets are the ones with lenses, where the smartphone turns into a VR device. The smartphone’s hardware and display technology provide good engine and visuals.

Tethered headsets are physically connected to the laptop or computer. It is a much more complex system that gives an ultimate VR experience.

The VR headset for iPhones works pretty well with iPhone, giving the user an awesome virtual reality experience.
