Most current virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays , but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. Furthermore, virtual reality covers remote communication environments which provide virtual presence of users with the concepts of telepresence and telexistence Users can interact with a virtual environment or a virtual artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through

   Extractions: Virtual reality (VR) is a technology which allows a user to intereact with a computer-simulated environment. Most virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiences, displayed either on a computer screen or through special stereoscopic displays, but some simulations include additional sensory information, such as sound through speakers or headphones. Some advanced and experimental systems have included limited tactile information, known as force feedback. Users can interact with a virtual environment either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove, the Polhemus boom arm, and/or omnidirectional treadmill. The simulated environment can be similar to the real world, for example, simulations for pilot or combat training, or it can differ significantly from reality, as in VR games. In practice, it is currently very difficult to create a high-fidelity virtual reality experience, due largely to technical limitations on processing power, image resolution and communication bandwidth. However, those limitations are expected to eventually be overcome as processor, imaging and data communication technologies become more powerful and cost-effective over time. Terminology The origin of the term virtual reality is uncertain though it has been credited to The Judas Mandala, a 1982 novel by Damien Broderick where the context of use is somewhat different from that defined above. A related term coined by Myron Krueger, "artificial reality", has been in use since the 1970s. The concept of virtual reality was popularized in mass media by movies as 'The Lawnmower Man' (and others mentioned below), and the VR research boom of the 1990s was motivated in part by the non-fiction book Virtual Reality by Howard Rheingold. The book served to demystify the heretofore niche area, making it more accessible to less technical researchers and enthusiasts, with an impact similar to what his book The Virtual Community had on virtual community research lines closely related to VR.

The term "simulated reality" is also used in literature and science fiction . A social environment created by internet -based simulation game, such as Second Life, may be considered by some as a type of virtual reality. "Reality" is neither exclusively objective nor subjective, physical nor mental. Rather, reality can be understood in the relationship between these two poles of subjectivity and objectivity. Virtual reality signifies a realm of reality that is generated by computer technology. Virtual reality signifies technologies that can generate a semi-real sphere of the mind by combining human sense stimuli, such as visual, auditory, and tactile sensation. Current technologies focus on the visual and auditory senses. Accordingly, virtual reality signifies an environment created or generated by such technology. Such an environment is distinguished from physical reality; it is a realm generated by the imagination based on sensory stimuli. Virtual reality in this sense is a solitary, non-social realm, where the objects of interaction are limited those generated by computers. Virtual reality can also signify a social realm generated by

It is possible this is only an extreme case, (as it is a fail safe in Vault 112 , and a method of unlocking an armory in the VSS Facility .) Since, as previously stated, these simulators are known to have no civilian or entertainment applications, the question remains whether they were part of a previous training simulation or other project, possibly involving the development of power armor. Again, due to the limited information available since the bombs fell, this may never be known. There are at least four known sites with VR simulators - Vault-Tec's Tranquility Lane simulation in Vault 112 (run by Stanislaus Braun as part of the Vault Experiment Virtual Strategic Solutions, Inc.

   Extractions: From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Pascal Dombis Installation view of Irrationnal Geometrics Immersion is the state of consciousness where an immersant's awareness of physical self is diminished or lost by being surrounded in an engrossing total environment; often artificial This mental state is frequently accompanied with spatial excess, intense focus, a distorted sense of time, and effortless action. The term is widely used for describing immersive virtual reality installation art and video games , but it is not clear if people are using the same word consistently. The term is also cited as a frequently-used buzzword , in which case its meaning is intentionally vague, but carries the connotation of being particularly engrossing. The sensation of total immersion in virtual reality (VR) can be described as implied complete presence within an insinuated space of a virtual surrounding where everything within that sphere relates necessarily to the proposed " reality " of that world's cyberspace and where the immersant is seemingly altogether disconnected from exterior physical space.

    Extractions: Pore-Eye Why use Virtual Reality One of the strengths of Pore-Cor has always been its graphics. If you the user can visualise a porous structure, even if the visualisation has a greatly simplified geometry, then you can start to explore the pore-level properties, and begin to understand and change what is going on. Virtual reality also makes it possible to see features which cover a very wide range of sizes - often as much as 5 orders of magnitude. Pore-Cor generates, and Pore-Eye allows viewing, of virtual reality objects described in a language called Virtual Reality Markup Language (VRML). You can walk through the resulting images, to find features which are too small to see when looking at the whole unit cell. You can also navigate around to look at particular fluid pathways, to study effects such as breakthrough, preferential flow, and preferential wetting. We and our customers find this so useful that all consultancy reports are now accompanied by the relevant virtual reality files and a viewer. If you just want to see some still images, then choose a
