    Frequently Asked Questions about Virtual Reality

    Virtual Reality is an immersive simulation of a three-dimensional environment, which users navigate by interacting with special software and hardware. The simulations can emulate real-life activities, such as riding a rollercoaster, or put users in fantastical scenarios, like floating through air.

    Besides its role in entertainment, Virtual Reality is valued for its educational and training purposes. It’s important for medical and military professionals to learn how to perform functions in high-stress environments, and Virtual Reality enables trainees and students to get the on-the-job practice they need.‎

    While still considered a growing technology, the Virtual Reality job market is buzzing with promise. AR Post says Virtual Reality is “finding its way into every market… there’s no sign of it slowing down.”

    Because of its relative newness, the job market is also ripe with opportunities because talent and training in Virtual Reality is still growing, leaving many positions open. In fact, job posts seeking Augmented Reality or Virtual Reality Engineers jumped 1,400% in 2019, with U.S. salaries ranging from $135,000 to $150,000 yearly.

If you have skills or experience in gaming, game programming, or creating 3D environments, you may be ready to learn more about VR. Some other skills and experience you may need to already have to study VR can also include video editing or sound production skills, as well as some knowledge of computer-aided design (CAD) and DSLR 2D imaging and videos. In addition, if you have any experience using operating system wearables, such as Oculus and HoloLens, then you may have some of the basic skills for learning advanced VR.‎
