Hi I just finished high school and want to study electrical engineering in college. My dream is to build a virtual reality machine of my own. Any advice on which area of electrical engineering that I should specialise?
Do you mean of or on? That is a huge difference.My dream is to build a virtual reality machine of my own

Electrical engineering is a branch of engineering that deals with the study, design, and application of electrical systems. It involves the use of electricity, electronics, and electromagnetism to develop and improve devices and systems for various purposes.
Virtual reality is a computer-generated simulation of a three-dimensional environment that can be interacted with in a seemingly real or physical way by a person using special electronic equipment, such as a headset with a screen or gloves with sensors.
Electrical engineering plays a crucial role in developing and improving virtual reality technology. It involves the design and implementation of various electronic components, such as sensors, displays, and controllers, that are essential for creating a realistic and immersive VR experience.
To build your own virtual reality system, you would need a strong foundation in electrical engineering concepts, including circuit design, programming, and signal processing. You would also need knowledge of VR technology and software development skills to create the necessary software and user interfaces.
There are various potential applications of VR in electrical engineering, such as virtual prototyping and testing of electrical systems, VR-based training and education for electrical engineers, and simulation and visualization of complex electrical systems for troubleshooting and analysis purposes.
