VR TECHNOLOGY: OPTIMIZATION OF VR SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE

Abstract

This paper explores the challenges faced in the development and application of virtual reality (VR) technologies. Despite the revolutionary potential of VR in various industries, its full realization is hampered by technical, financial, and ethical barriers. There are technical challenges related to the development of high-quality hardware and software, seamless integration with existing infrastructure, and the need for significant computing resources. Financial constraints arise from the high cost of production and maintenance, which limits accessibility. From an ethical perspective, immersive virtual reality creates the potential for addiction, anti-social behavior, and data privacy violations. The article also discusses the trade-offs, complexity, technological limitations, joint optimization of hardware and software, future proofing, testing, and validation associated with virtual reality development. In addition, an overview of solutions to these problems proposed in the current scientific literature is presented. VR has already made significant strides in revolutionizing industries such as gaming, education, healthcare, and architecture. To overcome the technical hurdles, continued investment in research and development is crucial, with an emphasis on creating more efficient and affordable hardware and software solutions. Additionally, collaboration across industries and experts is essential for seamless integration into existing infrastructure and addressing the need for substantial computing resources. On the financial front, innovative business models and funding strategies can help make VR more accessible to a broader audience. Ethical concerns should be met with proactive measures, including the development of responsible use guidelines and robust data protection mechanisms.
