    Extractions: Virtual Reality Virtia is currently a concept phase site that provides information concerning current and potential future applications of virtual reality. Virtual reality can address neurological illness or injuries. Virtual reality can help people with neurological damage to once again be able to work on things by retraining damaged areas of the brain or by learning to develop new areas. For people with chronic sensory impairment, virtual reality can also help. For instance, blind people can prepare for a setting by practicing in a mock up of that setting equipped with sound and haptic cues. The page on a dynamic definition of virtual reality discusses further information and sources. Virtual Reality can function for sports in different ways. First, VR can give enhanced training and instruction for taking part in traditional athletics. Second, VR can improve spectator engagement in traditional sports that includes, but is constrained to, viewing. Third, VR can make possible new virtual elements for traditional sports or entirely new sports within virtual constructs. For more, haptic communication in virtual reality environments Virtually-enabled telerobotics is used in to enable human beings to perform activities in hazardous environments especially: outer space; areas with chemical or living hazards; battlefields; oil fields; and the ocean depths. Virtually-enabled robotics is also useful for macro-scale activities (especially mining, landscaping, and architecture) and tiny-scale activities (such as microsurgical procedures, nanomanfacturing, genetic engineering and virtual biology). Virbots are used for computer world uses. See

    Extractions: Virtual Reality A virtee is a movie enhanced by immersive and interactive virtual reality technology. Although Virtual Reality can be used in many ways, entertainment was one of the first uses and remains at the top. The enveloping and interactive features of VR make it well-suited for virtual computer gaming. In the years to come, new virtual amusement ("virtainment") applications will come from hybrid combinations of computer gaming, internet connectivity, and television. These uses can be centrally coordinated, multi-user, engaging, and three-dimensional entertainment experiences. There remains social value of physically gathering in one place, so there will still be demand for movies in the area of virtainment. Virtual movies ("virties") will go far beyond 3D effects with polarized lens glasses; they will have realistic 3D images and multi-sensory audience engagement. The page on virtual reality dating discusses additional information. There are many ways in which Virtual Reality (VR) (VR) can be used for entertainment purposes. Virtual reality amusement ("virtainment") spans virtual reality games, 3D movies, virtual pets ("virpets"), virtual reality television, and other amusement uses. Thus, is it not surprising that most people still consider Virtual Reality primarily in terms of amusement even though it is increasingly used in instruction, medicine, applied science, product design, exploration, information processing, real estate, and many other applications. the evolution of virtual tours has related VR information.

    Extractions: Virtual Reality Virtual reality (VR) is a technology that allows you to enter and interact with a world that is generated by a computer . Special graphics, video images and stereo sound make this pretend world seem real. The uses for virtual reality are wide ranging and cover everything from games where you can drive a car , fly a plane , ski down a mountain or track a dinosaur - to helping train doctors in the art of surgery or teaching pilots to fly aircraft safety. These computer generated worlds can be any size - as vast as the universe or as microscopically small as atoms and molecules. Uses Of Virtual Reality The uses for virtual reality are infinite. It can be used for air traffic control, medicine, entertainment, office work and industrial design. However, along with the good comes the bad. Virtual reality could also be used for destructive purposes, such as war and crime. The idea of virtual reality emerged in the 1930s when scientists created the first fight simulator for the training of pilots. They wanted to put the pilote in a real situation before letting him fly. In 1965, an American, called Ivan Sutherland, hit on a new idea and published his findings in a document called 'The Ultimate Display'. His idea was to create a portable, or personal, virtual world using two tiny television sets, one for each eye. In order to realise this, he also designed a head mounted display. Although his invention worked, and he did create a sort of a virtual world, the images were very crude and basic. Another problem was the helmet - it was extremely heavy and cumbersome and needed to be supported from the ceiling. It was also very expensive. In the following years, scientists continued to work on Sutherland's initial idea and great improvements were made. Then in 1985, Michael McGreevey of NASA/AMES developed a much cheaper and lighter version of the helmet. He used a motorcycle helmet and fitted it with mini display screens, and special sensors which were designed to track movement and were linked to powerful, but sensitive computers.

    Extractions: Virtual Reality Today people rent or download two-dimensional movies and videos. In the future, entertainment will likely progress to "virts" three-dimensional virtual reality entertainment applications. During the last five years there has been tremendous growth in the application of virtual reality applied science for diagnostic purposes, healing, instruction, and study. Virtual tomography integrates 3D imaging internal body structure from several CT or MRI scans with a computer-generated haptic interface to help in medical diagnosis and treatment. In endovascular simulation, a head mounted display superimposes 3D scans on a patient's body to direct the movement of catheters, balloons, and stents within blood vessels. There is unique discussion at virtual reality and psychological treatments of such technologies. Computer aided direction for cars is not as advanced as that for flight. Few automobile systems use VR technology presently, but this could shift with greater computer power and use of high technology in land vehicles.

    Extractions: Virtual reality by Chichcalan The ancient Maya began to build vast cities in northern Guatemala during the first millennium B.C., mastering a harsh tropical environment with shallow soils and annual cycles of deluge and drought. These cities were the foundation of what would be the greatest civilization of the ancient New World. By. A.D. 700 their towering pyramids and dramatic public monuments could be seen at tens of Maya cities, across what is now Honduras, Belize, southern Mexico and Guatemala. One of the distinguishing characteristics of ancient Maya civilization is its hieroglyphic script. Alone among New World writing systems, Maya hieroglyphs faithfully reflect spoken language and reproduce its vocabulary, syntax and grammar. The script is a �mixed system� that combines signs for whole words, syllables and pure vowels. At any one time as many as 500 individual signs were in common use.

    Extractions: Virtual Reality Virlink is a new site focusing on access to distributed Virtual Reality (VR) applications through the internet. Current technologies for human to computer interfaces include: keyboard/buttons; touch-activated screen; mouse; joystick; trackball; steering wheel; digital pen; tablet; speech interpretation; data glove; gesture recognition; and complete-body Virtual Reality systems. These interfaces allow users to provide input to computer systems. virtual reality and the dynamics of human vision deals with related topics. Some features of online gaming and television are likely to merge into centrally programmed, multi-user, interactive, 3D virtual reality television ("virtevision"). Interactive VRTVs may replace non-interactive television just as color televisions now completely dominate black-and-white televisions. Additional discussion at virtual reality dating When simulating the macroscale characteristics of touch and motion, Virtual Reality systems must simulate the relative resistance that virtual things would impose on motion by parts of the body such as hands and legs. As an example, if one lifts a virtual cube, then one's hand and arm must feel the relevant resistance so that the virtual cube seems real. Haptic resistance can be conveyed from a computer to one's senses though micropressure devices (tiny pistons, inflatable bubbles, and so forth) powered by mechanical motors, magnetism, hydraulics, air, or other media. These micro-pressure devices can be integrated into glovess, body suits, or gyroscopic armatures. Direct resistance from 3D fields may be possible in the future, but is still experimental. Haptic computer-to-human communication will become widespread with scientific advances, but it currently delays behind interaction through sight and hearing.

     Extractions: Home World News Latest Articles Escape Hatch ... Endless Buzz There is a lot of significance of virtual reality in architecture and other fields. Let us discuss what is virtual reality, its benefits in architecture and how to use virtual reality for making architectural designs. Virtual reality refers to a computer simulated environment in which we can interact with the surrounding, like how we would interact in a real situation. There are, of course, limitations to this technology, but there are more advantages offered by this technology which makes it so significant in our lives. An average guy using computers, must have played at least one virtual reality games. These games started gaining popularity when the FPS or First Person Shooter games like Wolfenstein 3D and Doom were released. These games are very entertaining, because you as a user/player, can get a feel of the game by interacting with different environments presented virtually in the form of video and audio in the game. Virtual reality grows to be popular, and is beneficial in many aspects of our lives, apart from just gaming. Let us discuss, what role virtual reality in architecture plays.
