The World of Virtual Reality

-
Virtual reality or virtual realities (VR), also known as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated reality,is a computer technology that replicates an environment, real or imagined, and simulates a user's physical presence that environment in a way that allows the user to interact with it. Virtual realities artificially create sensory experience, which can include sight, touch, hearing, and smell.

 It was once a costly piece of technology and not very much popular. But now many company have emerged to provide a VR experience for at lower prices. Smartphone manufacturing companies like Samsung, Lenovo, HTC, Huawei have launched their VR headsets which can serve as an add on to their smartphone lineup which have 5 inch or higher screen size but not on tablets.
Lenovo's VR known as ANT VR is a cheaper VR headset which provides theater like experience on mobile phone using its Theater Max technology.
The Cheapest Alternative available is the Google Cardboard. You can download the Google Cardboard app  here. The headset is dirt cheap and can be bought online easily.

HOW IT WORKS

Basically when you put on a headset the environment it shows looks exactly like you are standing out there. It senses the motion of your head to show you the surroundings. In case where the headset uses a smartphone app, Gyroscope sensor is needed for that purpose. 

In Lenovo's Theater Max Technology the video is shown for each eye individually. What i mean to say is that an individual video is played for the left eye and an individual video is played for the right eye simultaneously. Then with the help of the lenses on the headset you feel like you are viewing the video on a large screen.

       











3D Gaming - Oculus Rift

Oculus is also a company aiming to provide the most amazing VR Gaming experience. Isn't it exciting to step right into the gaming and then play. It costs a bit but the experience you get is worth the money.
The VR technology is not so popular in India but the start up kit that have been launched are worth a try. 
That's it for here guys , See you next time........... ;)

Bayesian Network Bayesian Network is a type of probabilistic graphical model that uses Bayesian inference for probability computation. Representation of casual relations makes the representation and inference efficient.  Bayesian Network It is a graphical model that efficiently encodes the joint probability distribution for a large set of variables. Arcs represent probabilistic dependence on variables. Lack of an arc represents independence. The network structure is a directed acyclic graph. Support Vector Machines It is a machine learning algorithm that is used in classification and regression. But it is mostly used in classification problems. What it basically does is, it plots each data item as a point in n-dimensional space with values of each feature being values of a particular point and then separates the classes using a hyper-plane. The line that separates the classes is determined by a subset of points know as Support Vectors. Points with a ...

GST stands for GOODS AND SERVICES TAX. It is an indirect tax levied on goods and services. Under this scheme goods and services are taxed at following rates, 0%, 5%, 18%, 28%.  Before the implementation of GST  people were confused on how it is gonna impact their shopping bill. Now that it is in effect, let's see its impact on the gadgets and related services market. Earlier the tax rate on smartphones was nearly 13.5% but after GST it's 12%. All parts and components of the smartphone come under this category. There is no remarkable change in the wireless services like transmission and reception of voice and communication, landline telephone sets and wired connection due to GST. If we talk about smartphones that are imported, they are gonna get costlier as the government is gonna impose a 10% customs duty on and indirectly it is gonna benefit India as manufacturers will then consider establishing their manufacturing units in India that will create...
