WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY?

Is a technology which allows a user to

interact with a computer- simulated
environment, be it a real or imagined one.

Is a technology that allows you to enter

and interact with a world that is
generated by a computer.
 HISTORY

1960 - The beginnings of VR

1962 - Morton Heilig created a multi-sensory
simulator
1977 - Interaction through body movement
1982 - The first computer- generated movie
1983 - First virtual Environment
1992 - A look at the possible negative side of
VR
1995 - Virtual Reality Modeling Language
 TOOLS
1. Head Mounted Displays (HMD):

It is a first device providing its wearer

with an immersive Experience. Evans and
Sutherland demonstrated a head-mounted
stereo display already in 1965.

2.BOOM:

BOOM is a head coupled stereoscopic

display device. Screens and optical system
are housed in a box that is attached to a
multi-link arm.
3.CAVE:

CAVE is small room where computer

generated world is projected on wall.

 TYPES

 Immersive
A)Desktop (Window on a World)
B)Video Mapping

 Non - immersive
A)Augmented
B)Text-based
 IMMERSIVE TYPES
The ultimate version of VR systems they let
the user totally immerse in computer generated world
with the help of HMD that supports a stereoscopic
view of the scene accordingly to the user’s position
and orientation. These systems may be enhanced by
audio, haptic and sensory interfaces.

Example:

Desktop VR:
Fish Tank VR:
 NON – IMMERSIVE TYPES

Text-based VR:
When a reader of a certain text form a mental
model of this virtual world in their head from the
description of people, places and things.

Augmented VR:
The idea of taking what is real and adding to
it in some way so that user obtains more
information from their environment.
 APPLICATION

It is a new paradigm of user interface it

offers great benefits in many application areas. It
provides an easy, powerful, intuitive way of human-
computer interaction. The user can watch and
manipulate the simulated environment in the same
way we act in the real world, without any need to
learn how the complicated (and often clumsy) user
interface works.
 ARCHITECTURAL

Desktop computers equipped with visualization

packages and simple interface devices are far from
being an optimal solution for data presentation and
manipulation. Virtual reality promises a more
intuitive way of interaction . The first attempts to
apply VR as a visualization tool were architectural
walkthrough systems.

 ADVANTAGE

 Interaction with the environment.

 User interface.
 user can see and even feel the shaped surface under
his/her fingertips.
 Flight simulators and games.
 CAD/CAE
 Biomedical Engineering the projects mentioned are
use of virtual reality for viewing of X-RAY's and MRI‘s.
 Rendering and 3-D lighting, modeling for resource
management.
 DISADVANTAGE

New technologies have also revealed new problems.

VR in medical treatment is going through some growing
pains.
There are limitations with VR devices as well in regards
to usability.
lack of standardization of hardware and protocols
Most troublesome are the side effects it can induce, like
disorientation, dizziness and nausea.
People often find navigating in 3-D spaces and
performing actions in free space extremely difficult.
practical problems in spatial cognition research
 CONCLUSION

VR is in its early stages, but is used

commercially, globally. There are 61,400
international commercial companies producing VR.
While VR is at an early stage, it is used educationally
throughout the world. There are approximately
3,600 educational institutions which use VR.
