Virtual reality
hide Virtual reality VR Virtual Reality is often used to describe a wide variety of applications, commonly associated with its immersive, highly visual, 3D environments. The development of CAD software, graphics hardware acceleration, head mounted displays, database gloves and miniaturization have helped popularize the notion. In the book The Metaphysics of Virtual Reality , Michael Heim identifies seven different concepts of Virtual Reality: simulation, interaction, artificiality, immersion, telepresence, full-body immersion, and network communication. The definition still has a certain futuristic romanticism attached. People often identify VR with Head Mounted Displays and Data Suits.

    Chinese student in Ohio challenges Dalai Lama
    By DAN SEWELL, Associated Press Writer October 21, 2010 (10-21) 12:13 PDT Oxford, Ohio (AP) A Chinese student challenged the Dalai Lama's version of conditions in Tibet, saying Thursday she has been there recently. During a question-and-answer session at Miami University in southwest Ohio, 21-year-old Yue You told him she didn't see the oppression the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader has spoken out about. "Tibet is peaceful," she said, adding that she saw people who seemed to be doing fine economically. He responded by noting protests this week in western China by Tibetan students, reportedly over unconfirmed plans to use the Chinese language exclusively in their schools.

    Virtual Reality: History
    Expo/Theater/Virtual Environments
    Beginnings
    Virtual reality may have popped into the headlines only in the past few years, but its roots reach back four decades. It was in the late 1950s, just as the nation was shaking off stale traces of McCarthyism and was shaking to the sounds of Elvis, that an idea arose that would change the way people interacted with computers and make possible VR. At the time, computers were hulking Goliaths locked in air-conditioned rooms and used only by those conversant in esoteric programming languages. Few people considered them more than glorified adding machines. But a young electrical engineer and former naval radar technician named Douglas Engelbart viewed them differently. Rather than limit computers to number crunching, Engelbart envisioned them as tools for digital display. He knew from his days with radar that any digital information could be viewed on a screen. Why not, he then reasoned, connect the computer to a screen and use both to solve problems?
    Opportunity and timing
    At first, Engelbart's ideas were dismissed, but by the early 1960s other people were thinking the same way. Moreover, the time was right for his vision of computing. Communications technology was intersecting with computing and graphics technology. The fi rst computers based on transistors rather than vacuum tubes became available. This synergy yielded more user-friendly computers, which laid the groundwork for personal computers, computer graphics, and later on, the emergence of virtual reality.

Virtual-Reality
      • Virtual-Reality (VR) or Visual-simulation brings to life static 3-dimensional objects in a synthetic environment that encompasses intelligence and behaviours in a real-time environment. Virtual environments can take a variety of forms from Immersive - users are totally immersed into the world through use of head mounted displays HMD - through industry standard desktop systems running Windows, Linux and Unix Operating systems to Projected VR - making use of real-time 3D graphics to build cave environments for large scale collaborative design and experience's The VR experience can be further enhanced through the incorporation of peripheral devices that enhance the other senses such as Sound (3D audio systems), Touch (haptic response), Grasp ( pinch gloves), position (motion trackers and positional sensors) Navigation (joysticks and motion tracking devices), Interpretation (3D projection and imaging) Visualisation (immersive headmount display).

    Terminology
    Head-Mounted Display (HMD) BOOM ... Applications
    Note: This article was first written around 1999-2000. Things have changed by now, but the principles still hold.
    Some important 'Update Notes' have been added (in cursive).

    Terminology
    The term 'Virtual Reality' (VR) was initially coined by Jaron Lanier, founder of VPL Research (1989). Other related terms include 'Artificial Reality' (Myron Krueger, 1970s), 'Cyberspace' (William Gibson, 1984), and, more recently, 'Virtual Worlds' and 'Virtual Environments' (1990s).
    Today, 'Virtual Reality' is used in a variety of ways and often in a confusing and misleading manner. Originally, the term referred to 'Immersive Virtual Reality.' In immersive VR, the user becomes fully immersed in an artificial, three-dimensional world that is completely generated by a computer.
    Head-Mounted Display (HMD)
    The head-mounted display (HMD) was the first device providing its wearer with an immersive experience. Evans and Sutherland demonstrated a head-mounted stereo display already in 1965. It took more then 20 years before VPL Research introduced a commercially available HMD, the famous "EyePhone" system (1989).
    A head-mounted display (HMD):
    Web size
    (83 K) A typical HMD houses two miniature display screens and an optical system that channels the images from the screens to the eyes, thereby, presenting a stereo view of a virtual world. A motion tracker continuously measures the position and orientation of the user's head and allows the image generating computer to adjust the scene representation to the current view. As a result, the viewer can look around and walk through the surrounding virtual environment.
