Artificial Neural Network in Virtual Reality : A Survey

International audienceVirtual reality (VR) is defined as a3-dimensional (3D), artificially simulated environmentwhich allows the user to immerse himself/herself in it.From rehabilitation to data visualization, VR has beenfound to have many profound applications over the pastdecade or so. The addition of a suitable interface (e.g:haptics) is necessary in order to improve the quality ofinteraction with VR. Artificial Neural Network (ANN),a learning algorithm [i.e., a mathematical representationof any form of biological activity], which is one of themost widely adopted algorithms, is used for maintainingthe properties of virtual reality (i.e., Immersivity and Interactivity).The primary objective of this review is toexplore the limitless possibilities through the integrationof ANN and VR. In addition to this, it also highlights thefact that an incumbent association of VR and ANN canlead to the construction of a highly interactive and immersivemodule in virtual reality
