First-Person View (FPV)
First-person view (FPV) can be defined as any graphical perspective rendered from the viewpoint of a character in a video game, a drone, or other types of virtual entities. First-person view allows users to explore virtual environments that differ from their own, as if they were in it themselves. First-person view is commonly used in virtual reality, video games, film, and photography to grant users access to environments that they may not be able to access otherwise.
What Small and Midsize Businesses Need to Know About First-Person View (FPV)
First-person view is commonly used by small and midsize businesses to allow people access to uniquely immersive views. First-person view is essential to the gaming industry—it allows users to access the perspective of their video game character, rather than watching the character from an outside perspective. Small architectural firms also use first-person view when virtually rendering walkthroughs of future properties. Even retailers can leverage first-person view by providing augmented or virtual reality experiences of their products, which can include clothing, furniture, and more.
