Abstract: Virtual Reality (VR) is a disruptive technology rapidly advancing as computing hardware and software are getting better and cheaper. This chapter attempts to apprise the scholarly community with five futuristic trends that will shape VR. Immersive Social Experiences with Virtual Reality will make social interaction even better. They allow dynamic and multi-sensory shared environments in which users can engage authentically across geographical barriers. Advances in rendering and GPU technology will bring near-photorealistic visuals to VR. This makes immersion even better. Such VR has several applications in medicine, architecture, and education. Haptic feedback advancements will provide users realistic tactile sensations, enhancing interaction and immersion in virtual environments. Full-body tracking lets users use their entire body to control and interact with virtual spaces. This has applications in rehabilitation, sports, and professional training. AI-powered VR will bring personalized experiences and create intelligent virtual agents. The VR content can be dynamically generated according to the environment. This brings in interactivity and realism that was never experienced before.

Keywords: Full body tracking, Haptic feedback, Immersive social experience, Realism, User experience, Virtual environment
