'The oil & gas virtual reality (VR) training and simulation market will reach $2.24bn in 2011'

Nov. 10, 2011 - PRLog -- Visiongain calculates the oil & gas virtual reality training and simulation market, defined as spending on hardware, software and maintenance of virtual reality technologies, to be worth $2.24bn in 2011.

Virtual reality refers to the use of computer technologies to generate surroundings and situations that look and even feel as if they are real. This can involve the use of computer hardware, software and visualisation tools to try to replicate real life environments or simulate realistic scenarios in order to train workers, improve reservoir engineering and safety, and aid the design and optimisation of plants. Virtual reality technologies can be partially immersive, where an image appears in three dimensions (3D), or fully immersive, where a head mounted display is used to enable the user to more fully enter a virtual world and see, touch, hear and even smell the surroundings that would appear in real life.
