The Convergence of IoT with Virtual Reality and Telepresence

Abstract

Telepresence is the fastest growing technology combining the Internet of Things (IoT) and Virtual Reality (VR). It is a robotic remote control that allows humans to sense their current location, VR provides vision, and IoT provides touch and control. Before telepresence, we could only imagine virtual worlds, not feel them. Ultrasonic sensors used in telepresence allow for this. This study is primarily about how VR is used in various fields. For example, it can be used for agricultural and educational development. It can create intelligent virtual environments such as virtual telepresence robots in smart agriculture and virtual inclusion with telepresence robots in classrooms, allowing users to experience virtual reality through (VR) headsets. As mentioned earlier, telepresence can also be used in a variety of areas, such as medical education, mine maintenance, and distance learning.
