Abstract

Virtual Reality has provided means to improve interface and user interaction with computational systems. This improvement has affected directly the degree of immersion and user interaction with computer-generated synthetic environments, through the utilization of human senses such sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste. This work aims to present a usability assessment and the functionalities of an interactive and immersive virtual reality system based on the utilization of the panoramic Oculus Rift device and interaction through voice commands. The virtual environment adopted to be integrated to the solution is the Google Street View through which user can visualize and navigate on. Besides assessment, this paper also introduces the hardware and software integration carried out, as the different phases of the development of the virtual environment.
