Virtual reality can be achieved by using a range of systems starting from headsets, omni-directional treadmills to special gloves, etc. These devices

Bio-sensing uses small sensors are used to sense and record body movements of the person in 3D space which are further interpreted by the computer. These are attached to the data glove, suit or the human body. The computer then analyses the data that is further used to transform the human action into appropriate responses on the screen, making the player a virtual part of the game.
