Part of the book series: Algorithms for Intelligent Systems ((AIS))

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) and virtual reality (VR) integration have generated a lot of attention and interest as a transformative technical collaboration that could have far-reaching consequences for virtual interactions and experiences. This article comprehensively reviews the promises and challenges associated with the emerging link between AI and VR. The main goal of this research is to compare the various applications of AI in VR. The study focuses on how AI is being used to enhance real-time modeling, automate content generation, make motion detection and reaction easier, and make it possible to customize virtual worlds. The various ways AI improves VR are highlighted by evaluating these applications. This study determines the effect of artificial intelligence on virtual reality and points the way toward immersive and dynamic changes.
