As fast as the mobile app development industry is growing, developing a virtual reality application is no more a dream and is blooming side by side. Every business wants to interact with their users in one way or other, in this reflection, mobile applications are becoming the most chosen way of interaction with the customers. But instead of choosing a normal mobile application, choosing a virtual reality app will help in increasing business by many folds and also produces an increment in the number of loyal customers.

Before developing the thought of designing a virtual reality app, one should get a complete understanding of what actually is virtual reality app and what factors distinguishes it from other basic mobile applications?

A virtual reality application or augmented reality app works on the amalgamation of digital visual content and the user’s real world. This allows the user to interact with virtual objects and increases user’s interaction within the app. This, on another hand, increases the engagement in a virtual world more than the physical world. 

 

                        The invention of the VR application

Ever since “Sensorama” was invented long ago in 1957, the idea of incorporating virtual world in the lap of a real world is no more imagination or hallucination. When Morton Heilig invented “Sensorama”, it opens up the concept of virtual reality.

By incorporating a virtual yet real experience on one platform, Morton awestricken everyone with his thought of providing virtual reality. The providence of smell along with displayed images emitted a ray of illusion that was difficult to handle at that time, but now due to major advancements in the technology world, this idea is at one arm distance to execution. 

Even though there are immense benefits of getting a virtual reality app, the high-cost investment raises an obvious question of whether to choose VR or not?  Let’s see those various reasons that encourage us to develop a VR application.

 

                            Why virtual reality application?

Virtual reality application is becoming people’s choice with every passing day due to various reasons. This has the capability to bring movement in the era of mobile app development. Here are some of the reasons to walk towards developing a virtual reality application-

•    Increases user’s interaction, involvement, and interest.

Once the user has entered the virtual reality world, he/she feels the real connection among both the worlds. An application with this advancement make the users gain interest in the app and also increases his/her involvement due to real-time experience. This strong connection of the users and the technology leads to a loyal relationship which ultimately give business a win- win situation.

•    Boon for the gaming industry.

One of the most demanding areas of mobile application development is towards designing a gaming application for the youth.

Every second teenage in this world is engaged in one gaming application or other. This increased interest of teenagers demands the renovation of the gaming industry which can only be achieved by developing the virtual reality application.

How can we forget the Pokémon Go, it provides gamers a virtual reality experience that attracted extreme traffic to the game that played the role of wizard’s wand for the associated company.   

•    Near about experience with the real world.

Mobile application is a major advancement in the mobile tech industry but the way the market is growing, customers are getting bored with them, they feel disconnected and unattended. But by collaborating the virtual experience with real-time things like with audio and videos, can help in overcoming this problem.

•    Better experience.

The major thing that decides the user’s experience on the app is the UI; User Interface. Many industries divot their maximum time in building an interactive UI because there is always a question of whether the users will like the mobile application or not.  This makes the developer's job challenging and they have to put their best foot forward.

On the other hand, if virtual reality application is being developed, a developer can play with the user’s interface and can incorporate it with some exciting and advanced features that increase the quality of user’s experience and can also help in maintaining that throughout time.

•    Cost production.

The cost expenditure of building a virtual reality application limits its use for various industries. Some industries don’t choose to invest their much money in developing such kind of app, instead, they try to use it in other ways of getting & interacting with customers.

Even though this method of generating mobile application is not pocket-friendly, the increasing competition in this area encourages small businesses and startup to put their hands in it but the cost still remains a major challenge for them to execute.

•    Lack of compatible devices.

Virtual reality application comes handy with the problem of finding compatible devices to operate. Not all devices are compatible and can operate a VR app, its operation needs a proper device and operating system to execute its functionality.

If not operated on a compatible device, VR will face a halt in performance and functionality and can run in a misbehaved fashion that will affect device (on which it is being operated) also and makes its maintenance difficult.

•    A probability of misuse.

Due to the involvement of more advanced features and engagement of user more than the optimum level, these types of apps comes with a risk of being misused.

The probability of its misuse serves developers with the need of incorporating an app with some authentication and encryption features that will check the security issues of an app.

With every now developing tech world, virtual reality app can help in creating new innovations and advancements in this field that sets the foundation for altogether new world of mobile app development.

If you also want to match the up growing competition of today’s challenging world, you can walk towards the development of VR app but this also demands your attention and concentration as this has a new challenge as well as a new opportunity on each footstep!
