Virtual Reality has grown rapidly over the past few years and it is still expected to improve and expand immensely. By definition, virtual reality is a creation of virtual or realistic environment presented to our senses in such a way that we experience it as if we were present as well. Virtual reality is made both for entertainment purposes as well as for serious matters. Virtual Reality has many different systems but the one thing they all share in common is the ability to allow people to view three-dimensional images that appear life sized to a person. The use of the term Virtual Reality was first introduced by Jaron Lanier, founder of VPL Research in the mid-1980s. Lanier developed the VR gear, which included gloves and googles needed experience and called it “Virtual Reality”. By the year, 1695, Ivan Sutherland, another inventor, introduced what he called “the ultimate display”, a mounted devise that served as “a window to a Virtual World”. In the past six decades, Virtual Reality has grown tremendously with its numerous applications that include: Architecture, Entertainment, sports, entertainment and video games. Although well known for its numerous benefits and wondrous adventures, Virtual Reality, much like other developing technologies, faces issues from legal, ethical, social and security perspectives.
