A Real time Application of Virtual Reality in Indian Agriculture

Agriculture is the backbone of the economic system for any country and for ages, agriculture has been related with the production of vital food crops to satisfy the needs of consumers. Farmers must meet the changing needs of end users, customers, regulators, food supply chain bodies and retailers. Despite the important role that the farmer plays in the economic growth of the country, not many initiatives are taken to face the challenges in the agriculture market. The challenges include environmental factors such as climatic changes, rising demands for food and higher quality, supply chain issues, keeping track of the crops both grown, sold, and purchased, delineation of agriculture lands, and securing the crops till it reaches the agriculture market or end user etc. There is a need to educate farmers on the importance of digitization and how farmers can benefit in the right way by using modern tools. The challenges faced by the farmers can be handled by using an easy platform where they can know the accurate prices of different crops in and near their city. Through the Virtual Reality based platform, the farmers can easily explore the weather trends of their farm locations and can visualize the agriculture market dynamically from any remote location. By combining the power of virtual reality with agricultural knowledge, one can revolutionize agriculture practices and crop marketing. The framework enables different farming techniques, equipment operation, and crop management through interactive simulations with $98.8 %$ accuracy.
