Abstract
Virtual reality is a rapidly growing area of research. Many scholars are emphasizing its importance and creators are designing cheaper equipment to acquire it. The purpose of this research was to create a simple virtual reality mobile application that allows the user to explore a room. For this thesis, we created a robot and, with the help from a fellow researcher, we optimized the robot for this specific task. We programed the robot to move forward in small increments and to spin a platform holding a Go Pro camera. The camera sends a live stream video to an Android mobile application. The video content is duplicated on the screen. The user can place the phone in a virtual reality headset achieving the immersive effect desired.
