VR and testing

In this section, we will see cases and stories of VR and testing. Let us review the concept of VR and see how applications for it are created.

VR development

As we saw in the Getting started with XR section, VR is about creating realistic artificial worlds for the user to view or interact with.

Generally, VR is achieved by the use of a headset that the users would place upon their heads. However, there are other ways to achieve this. For example, there are simpler versions that do not cover the entire head but work as sort of glasses, which do cover the eyes from external lights.

To cover the part of the interaction with the virtual world, the simplest devices have a point in the middle of the screen (called reticule) that will cause an interaction if it stays on an object for some time. Some other devices add hand-holding controls that allow the user to interact with the virtual world using their hands. More advanced devices can provide other hardware and...
