Machine translation is an emerging field where machines are able to translate text from one
language to another with a fair amount of correctness. Another emerging application area is
automated customer service where computer software can interact with customers to resolve
their queries or complaints.

Thus, the field of NLP involves making computers perform useful tasks with the natural

12.2.3 Immersive Experiences

An “immersive experience” pulls a person into a new or
augmented reality, enhancing everyday life via technology.
It often uses one or more technologies linked together.

With three-dimensional (3D) videography, the joy of
watching movies in theatres has reached a new level.
Video games are also being developed to provide
immersive experience to the player. Immersive experience
allows us to visualize, feel and react by stimulating our
senses. It enhances our interaction and involvement,
making them more realistic and engaging.
Immersive experiences have been used in the field of
training, such as driving simulators (Fig. 12.5), flight Fig. 12.5: Driving Simulator
simulators and so on. Immersive experience can be
achieved using virtual reality and augmented reality.
