    The graphics we see now on computer screens are enhanced in such a way that virtual worlds are possible. To create this second world to be as lifelike as possible creators of second life systems create stereoscopic displays. These displays create two similar views to view the virtual world. Each view is tailored to create the view from each separate eye. Not only does it take a great view to make up a second world but also the way we can control what is in this second world. Virtual worlds today have important input devices called the trackers. There are three types of trackers, optical, magnetic and acoustic. The optical tracker uses camera-based environments in order to track movement of the player. By doing this, the movement generated in the virtual world is more lifelike and natural. The magnetic and acoustic trackers allow the user to interact in the virtual world by a magnetic field or high frequency sound (respectively) emitted to the receptor. The user wears either a hand or headpiece in that sends these fields or frequencies to the receptor. Other pieces one might wear to enter a virtual world are glasses or helmets. By wearing this headgear you are able to fully immerse yourself in the virtual world.…

    Virtual Retinal Display

    • 11889 Words
    • 48 Pages

    The Virtual Retinal Display (VRD) is a personal display device under development at the University of Washington 's Human Interface Technology Laboratory in Seattle, Washington USA. The VRD scans light directly onto the viewer 's retina. The viewer perceives a wide field of view image. Because the VRD scans light directly on the retina, the VRD is not a screen based technology. The VRD was invented at the University of Washington in the Human Interface Technology Lab (HIT) in 1991. The development began in November 1993. The aim was to produce a full color, wide field-of-view, high resolution, high brightness, low cost virtual display. Microvision Inc. has the exclusive license to commercialize the VRD technology. This technology has many potential applications, from head-mounted displays (HMDs) for military/aerospace applications to medical society. The VRD projects a modulated beam of light (from an electronic source) directly onto the retina of the eye producing a rasterized image. The viewer has the illusion of seeing the source image as if he/she stands two feet away in front of a 14-inch monitor. In reality, the image is on the retina of its eye and not on a screen. The quality of the image he/she sees is excellent with stereo view, full color, wide field of view, no flickering characteristics.…

    Virtual Reality

    • 7676 Words
    • 31 Pages

    The term Virtual Reality (VR) is used by many different people with as many different meanings. There are some to whom VR is a specific collection of technologies (i.e. Head Mounted Display, Glove Input Device and Audio Device). Others stretch the term to include movies, games, entertainment and imagination. Virtual Reality is a way for humans to visualize, manipulate and interact with extremely complex data in a variety of immersive environments. A computer is used to generate visual, auditory or other sensual outputs to the user. This data may encompass a CAD model, a scientific simulation, or a view into a database. The user can interact with the virtual world and directly manipulate objects within it. Some worlds are animated by other processes such as physical simulations or simple animation scripts. Interaction in an immersive environment is perhaps the most intriguing part of virtual reality. In conventional human-computer interaction, humans remain "separated" from the computer environment. In VR, humans are totally immersed in the visualization-based world. They have the ability to manipulate and interact with the objects analyzed just as they do in the real world. Virtual Reality…
