Introduction:Introduction:

Computer generated artificial reality.


History:History:

Term created by Antonin Artaud, a French actor

Has roots in fiction and theater Technology begun in 1950’s First commercial VR system created in

1988, named “Virtuality” After that progress and search continued


How It Works:How It Works:


Virtual reality environments are primarily visual experiencesUser can interact either through standard input devices, such as, mouse key-board or through multi-modal devices, like, head-gear or hand-gloves

Types:Types:


Adventure Games-Textually described virtual worlds, where the user perceives the virtual environment through mental imagesDesktop-3-D virtual environment, graphically displayed on a desktop computer monitorProjected-3-D environment projected onto a screenSemi-Immersive-The user has partial contact with the real worldImmersive-The user has no contact with the physical world

Technologies:Technologies:

1-Head-Mounted Display (HMD)-A helmet or a face mask providing the visual and auditory displays.


2-Binocular Omni-Orientation Monitor (BOOM)- Head-coupled stereoscopic display device


3-Cave Automatic Virtual Environment (CAVE)-Provides the illusion of immersion by projecting stereo images on the walls and floor of a room-sized cube.


4-Data Glove-Enables natural interaction with virtual objects by hand gesture recognition.


5-Control Devices-Control virtual objects in 3 dimensions.


ComponentsComponents of VR System: of VR System:

Input Processor, Simulation Processor, Rendering Processor and World Database.

oInput Processor: Control the devices used to input information in the computer

oSimulation Processor: Takes the user inputs along with any tasks programmed into the world and determine the actions that will take place in the actual world

oRendering Processor: Creates the sensations that are output to the user

oWorld Database: Stores the objects that inhabit the world

Applications/Implementations:Applications/Implementations:

Entertainment ◦More vivid◦Move exciting◦More attractive


Medicine Practice performing surgery. Perform surgery on a remote patient. Teach new skills in a safe, controlled environment.


Manufacturing◦Easy to modify◦Low cost◦High efficient


Education & Training◦Driving simulators.◦ Flight simulators.◦Ship simulators.◦ Tank simulators.
