FIVR
,no edit summary
Once true FDVR is achieved, there will be a complete dissolution of the restrictions provided by the physical world and by the specific physical body of each person. It will be possible to create a detailed, realistic digital persona in the VE, and like kids have become full digital natives, the futures generations will exist in both the physical and digital worlds <ref name=”2”></ref> <ref name=”8”></ref> <ref name=”9”> Iskold, A.

==Steps to full immersion==
Nowadays, the VR experiences are still not completely immersive. The users can identify that they are using a headset; they can feel the outside world through the skin, and know when they are not really moving. They are not completely cut off from day-to-day reality <ref name=”9”></ref>. HMDs are a widely known VR implementation. They provide an ample field-of-view and an increased sense of immersion, but are far from providing the user with a truly compelling and indistinguishable experience from reality <ref name=”6”></ref> <ref name=”9”></ref>. The resolution and the motion of current VR experiences still need further improvements, and navigation within the virtual world is a bigger challenge <ref name=”9”></ref>.
There have been progress in several areas that will converge to promote the development of a complete FIVR. Brain scan techniques will allow for the detection and analysis of thought patterns; full-body VR is being tried with the Virtuix Omni, a “virtual reality rig, which features 40 capacitive sensors in its base to track your every step and move your character inside a game.” This is combined with a headset for a richer experience in the virtual world <ref name=”9”></ref> <ref name=”10”> Flitman, S.

Another thing that needs improvement is computer processing speed, in order for a truly full immersive virtual experience to be generated <ref name=”8”></ref>.
