Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate realistic sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. The effect is commonly created by VR headsets consisting of a head-mounted display (HMD) - a wraparound headset which does not allow light or images from the real world to interfere with the virtual one. VR headset suppliers include HTC, Oculus, PlayStation and Valve.VR gaming and VR video make up the largest consumer use cases for VR technology, with 20.8 billion U.S. dollars expected to be spent worldwide in 2023 on these areas alone. In Poland, ten percent of gamers used VR devices, with a VR mobile set among the most common device types. However, experts have suggested that the benefits of VR will have an impact upon industry too, with improvements to efficiency a real possibility. As a result, by 2023 it is expected that industrial usage worldwide will be three times larger than that of consumers.
