New Equipment and Software Provided By Virtual Reality Technologies to Visual Designers

Abstract

Technological developments that have made progress in every field of 21st century, the notion of humanity stepping into computer technologies and the evolution of computer technologies at accelerating speeds in a not too distant history has influenced every technical and technological development that has been experienced which has also diversified its designs by influencing the ways of sharing it with its target audience. Developments in which technological acceleration has taken the lead not only changed the environments and platforms of the designer to meet his / her designs with the target audience, but also offered him the opportunity to create an unlimited number of variations with computer software and hardware technologies. The revolution in the use of light and floor, which began with the appearance of the camera on the stage, has reached to the present day by developing with the possibilities of the internet, moving video, cinema, television, computer technologies, design software. Hardware and software products of virtual reality technologies, which continue to develop day by day, provide new design forms and environments, and provide designers who produce their digital creations by using X and Y axes on two-dimensional monitors of computers. Thanks to this Virtual Real environment, where the possibilities of previous software meets new ones, the presentation channels of digital design and produced designs have gained a new dimension and meaning and brought new possibilities of design. In this study, new hardware and software opportunities offered by virtual reality technologies to visual designers are examined.
