A majority of the types of equipment are generally visual devices, using either a computer screen or special stereoscopic displays, but there are devices like the head-mounted-display (HMD), which also provide sound for a wholesome experience. Advanced systems with haptic devices, which provide force feedback have also been introduced. VR is commonly associated with its immersive, highly visual, and 3D environments. It is used in a wide variety of applications ranging from gaming devices, public entertainment, prototype-creation to military exercises, and medical equipment. The development of Computer-Aided Design (CAD) software, graphics hardware acceleration, HMDs, database gloves and miniaturization has helped in the popularity of this technology.
