Entertainment is associated
with fun, humor, recreation as well as performance of any sort. In today’s
world, people get tired because of their daily heavy work. There is a need for
some refreshment to boost up oneself in order to complete daily activities.
There are certain ways through which entertainment is achieved depending upon
the trends prevailing in the society. The latest entertainment trend is Virtual
Reality. Virtual Reality is the technology which enables the viewer to feel the
environment in actual without physically moving himself/herself. Virtual reality
experience is given to humans in order to create an impact of reality. The
audiences experience real life actions and activities through the environment
created in their surrounding virtually. The environment is visually present
around them. This visual effect is created through the use of graphics and
animation. Graphics are images that are created and manipulated through the use
of computer using specific software and hardware. Animation refers to the speedy
display of sequence of certain images in order to create an illusionary effect
of movement. 3D animation is the element that creates a virtual environment
around humans. It gives a real-life experience to the audiences because it helps
in generating the virtual scenario. Virtual reality basically describes
‘human-computer’ interface that allows people to interact/relate with the
computer in drastically a different way. In this experience the human interacts
with the data that is being generated by the computer. Cinema screens,
Television screens and mobile screens exhibit animation and graphics as a source
of virtual entertainment mediums. Virtual experience through the genre of gaming
is achieved using a game design. It includes modeling of computer characters,
devising story and human emotions, analyzing the game play, innovating play
style, and including pedagogy with the game story as well. This experience is
actually providing a real-life experience to the audiences who are involved. The
game and its graphics are helpful in creating an illusionary impact on
audiences. The use of colors along with navigation and change in backgrounds
brings virtual impact to life. It is a belief that colors have power. Colors add
to the virtual environment because the colored textures applied to the objects
helps in feeling the reality. They affect emotions, moods, health, well-being,
energy, mind and the spiritual awareness of a human being involved virtually. 4D
cinemas are becoming popular for an entertainment presentation. In this type, a
3D projected film is composed with physical effects that are felt by the
audiences present in the theatre room. They feel like present in the environment
projected in front of their eyes. They can feel the actions, emotions and
gestures of the characters and objects as well.
People prefer entertaining themselves through virtual reality experiences. The
technology is getting intense and effective in entertaining people with
innovative practices and strategies.
