Virtual Reality Abstract

Abstract Virtual Reality (VR), sometimes called Virtual Environments (VE) has drawn much attention in the last few years. Extensive media exposure causes this interest to grow rapidly. Very few people, however, really know what VR is, what its basic values and its open problems are. An insightful study of VR systems is done in this report. All components of VR application and interrelations between them are comprehensively examined. Additionally human factors and their implication on the design issues of VE are also discussed. The future of VR is considered in two phases: technological and social. New research directions, technological frontiers and potential applications are pointed out. The possible positive and negative influence of VR …show more content…

• VR relies on a three-dimensional, stereoscopic head-tracker displays, hand/body tracking and binaural sound. VR is an immersive, multi-sensory experience. • Computer replications that use 3D graphics and devices such as the Data Glove allows the user to interact with the virtual reality. • Virtual reality refers to interactive, multi-sensory, and viewer-centered, three dimensional computer engendered environments and the combination of technologies that are required to build these virtual environments. Virtual Reality - Evidence for the Theory In the last years, the progress made in computer science technology has brought faster and faster computers to the market. This technology is now becoming overwhelmingly prevalent and fashionable in current decade is called Virtual Reality (VR). The very first idea was presented by Ivan Sutherland in 1965. He once said “Make that (virtual) world in the window look real, sound real, feel real, and respond realistically to the viewer’s …show more content…

Humans have a great capability of adaptation to new conditions: finally they will always find their place in new (even virtual) realities. But “Without risk, there is no reward”. For the next generation — our kids, grandkids — it will be virtual reality. From their earliest age, the next generation will be bounded by virtual reality in all aspects of their life. In school, virtual environments will be learning grounds for students in different subjects like biology, space, history, civics and more. At home, virtual environments will be used to keep people entertained. While shopping, human interaction, understanding will all be influenced in some form by virtual reality. And while there is no stop of this technology from gaining grip especially in today’s world as it grows in

  • Analysis Of Sensing In Motion By Christopher Brown

    1042 Words  | 5 Pages

    Christopher Brown begins the chapter with a detailed kinesthetic description of an interaction he and his friends had once with three white police officers. Each and every movement and sense were described in detail and it truly immersed you in the story. The story describes how “people of color must coordinate the movement of their bodies, involuntarily, to the movements of whites for fear that at any moment their body could be seized or extracted without repercussion” (Brown and Sekimoto 78) and the affective implications this has on one’s agency and self. Brown and Sekimoto’s main argument is that these kinesthetic feelings of race immobilize black people in encounters with the white racist gaze and cause them to lose their bodily agency.

  • Fred Turner The Surround Analysis

    468 Words  | 2 Pages

    In relation to the reading, The Surround by Fred Turner, the after-war period and particularly the 1950s are frequently a highly defamed, or at least misunderstood, time in American culture. I like the reading and it has interesting points. With this work, Fred Turner does much to adjust this observation as he demonstrates that it was a significantly more convincing point in history than researchers as much as readers frequently expect and, more particularly, how this time and the media shapes it brought forth arranged the ground for surely, and the radical sight and sound vehicles that directed the culture and sociopolitical messages of the 1960s. Turner thoroughly maps out the courses in which American intellectuals, psychologists, social scientists and artists, together with their European partners, attempted to think of new types of media what he calls ‘the democratic surround’ that would work as a reaction to Nazi propaganda techniques. Turner portrays these “surrounds” as varieties of pictures and words incorporated with conditions that their gatherings of people could enter openly, act suddenly inside, and leave freely.

    Embracing technology can enhance our current methods and possible transcend our current VR limitations. For example, we can use the Wii as an at home exercise to supplement VR exercises completed with a PT or audiologist. Also as Nilsagård and her associates stated, the individuals were more likely to exercise because they found the exergaming to be enjoyable. If further research is preformed and more evidence is shown as to how beneficial these programs are to patient’s I believe more clinicians would be more likely to include exergaming into VR programs.

    This essay will discuss the statement by William James, “-whilst part of what we perceive comes through our senses but another part (and it may be the larger part) always comes out of our head.” (James, 1890). This excerpt relates to the topic of perception, which can be defined as the acquisition and processing of sensory information to see, hear, taste, or feel objects, whilst guiding an organism’s actions with respect to those objects (Sekuler & Blake, 2002). Every theory of perception begins with the question of what features of the surrounding environment can be apprehended through direct pickup (Runeson et al. 2000). Is it only vague elemental cues that are available, and development and expansion through cognitive processes is required
