Virtual reality

Virtual reality overlays real-time digital information using devices, improving efficiency. In agriculture, it benefits productivity and water management, allowing for accurate measurements, crop analysis, water flows and irrigation optimization.

Virtual reality consists of taking digital or computer-generated information, whether in the form of images, video or tactile sensations, and superimposing it in a real-time environment through technological devices. A mixed reality is generated in real time that allows us to make decisions or take actions instantly to achieve greater effectiveness in the activities of the area where it is used. This technology is complemented by technological advances such as drones, big data, the cloud, to establish data and information flows. In the case of agriculture, it can help improve productivity by being used in activities such as more precise measurements, programming operations and developing scientific analysis to increase harvests. Regarding water for agriculture, virtual reality can work to observe moisture content and water stress in crops, water evaporation, surface and groundwater flows, irrigation optimization, water quality analysis, among others.
