Challenges Towards VR Technology: VR Architecture Optimization
Sergii Lysenko, Artem Kachur · 2023
This paper provides an exhaustive exploration of the challenges faced in the development and application of Virtual Reality (VR) technology. Despite VR’s revolutionary potential across various sectors, its full-fledged realization is impeded by technical, financial, and ethical hurdles. Technical issues involve the development of high-quality hardware and software, seamless integration with existing infrastructures, and the demand for extensive computational resources. Financial constraints arise from high production and maintenance costs, which limit accessibility. Ethically, VR’s immersive nature presents the potential for addiction, antisocial behavior, and data privacy concerns. The paper further discusses the trade-off decisions, complexity, technological limitations, hardware-software co-optimization, future-proofing, testing, and validation associated with VR development. Furthermore, a survey of resolutions to these challenges, as proposed in recent scientific literature, is presented. The article underscores the need for continued exploration, innovation, and refinement to overcome these hurdles and unlock the transformative power of VR technology.
