What is VR?

VR is also knowns as Virtual reality. It’s a digital technology that simulates a 3D experience by replacing the real world with a virtual world.

Fibre packages from * per month

What is virtual reality?

Using a virtual reality headset you get transported into another virtual environment where you can see vibrant images and hear sounds.

Virtual reality examples include education, health, gaming, visiting other countries or exploring underwater worlds, most from the comfort of your home.

How does VR work?

You’ll need a VR headset and possibly motion-tracking sensors. Once head or body movement is detected, your VR environment is updated in real time. You may also hear audio or sound that mimics the real world. You can also use hand controllers and cameras to give you a better VR experience especially when gaming.

There’s three different types of virtual reality

Fully-Immersive VR

  • The most realistic experience of being in a VR environment.
  • Uses a VR headset and motion tracking system for hands, head and body.
  • Great for high end gaming, entertainment and flight or driving simulations. 

Semi-Immersive VR

  • A combination of virtual and real environment on larger screens or even a room setup.
  • Uses high resolution screens and partial motion tracking.
  • Good for presentations, flight training simulations or interactive experiences.

Non-Immersive VR

  • A real environment with interaction using a computer, monitor, keyboard and mouse.
  • No specialised VR equipment needed.
  • Good for basic simulations, education, software demos or virtual museum tours.

Whilst it’s great using VR, you’ll have to come back to the real world to get our best Full Fibre broadband deals.

Virtual reality headsets

Virtual reality headsets are important in most virtual reality experiences. VR headsets are also known as VR goggles. They’ve two wide screens for each eye giving a 3D view of the virtual environment. Immerse yourself into the world of VR and experience different environments with audio.

You can also watch virtual reality movies using a VR headset, giving you a fully immersive cinematic experience in a 3D world.

There’s various types of VR headsets with different specifications. Some can be used with or without a cable, some have extra sensors or may be exclusive to certain apps or games. It all depends on what you want.

What are the best VR headsets?
