Abstract

This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of the development history, key characteristics and major applications of VR. From the perspectives like VR devices, VR content and VR interaction, we briefly describe the main objectives and products of the stateof- the-art VR researches. Finally, weproposeseveral directions that need to be further exploredin the future.
