The heart of virtual reality is IT. VR essentially runs on IT products from the hardware to

receive user’s inputs, to the software which generates the simulation, and process the user’s inputs

and convert it into output.

In order to successfully implement a VR, the following factor must be present:

 Real world

Refers to the physical world in which the user/participant is located. This

can also include the physical world in which the data to be used to render

a virtual world has been taken.

 The input peripherals

This includes devices like sensors and other tracking devices to track the

user’s movement and his location within the VR facility/ground.

 Computer (server)

The machine which process all the input data, and converts it to output

data. This is also where the VR software is installed.
