Abstract: Virtual Reality can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer simulated life , replicates an environment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds and lets the user interact in that world[2]. Virtual reality artificially relates sensory experiences, which can include sight, hearing, touch and smell [6]. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world in order to create a lifelike experience for example, in simulations for pilot or combat training or it differs significantly from reality, such as in VR games [4]. The proposed solution stands on virtual reality, for providing a virtual tour of a mine. Cardboard, an easily affordable gadget which enables virtual reality for the headset, is used for this purpose. Software magic takes over, then. The software splits the screen into a right and left pane, one for each eye. The effect is a stereoscopic image that completely fills the field of vision, and immerses into a virtual world.
