There are neither notations nor diagrams used in this article. The software in this topic is not mentioned either. This article acts to create a sense of awareness in readers to this new, yet maturing technology. Therefore, this article did not touch much on the technical aspects.

 However, I feel that the use of VE permits users to experience and interact with a life-like model or environment, in safety and at convenient times, while providing a degree of control over the simulation that is usually not possible in the real-life situation. This is very appealing. The work-related applications that appear to be most promising are those that employ virtual reality for visualization and representation, distance communication and education, hands-on training, and orientation and navigation.
