Virtual Reality

What it VR?

Virtual Reality (VR) is popular name for an absorbing, interactive, Computer-mediated experience in which person perceives a synthetic(simulated) environment by means of special human-computer interface Equipment. It interacts with simulated objects in that environment as If they were real. Several persons can see one another and interact in shared Synthetic environment such as battlefield.

Virtual Reality is a term used to describe a computer generated virtual Environment that may be moved through and manipulated by a user in real time. A virtual environment may be displayed on a head-mounted display, a computer monitor, or a large projection screen. Head and hand tracking systems are employed to enable the user to observe, move around, and manipulate the virtual environment.

Enactive mark of Virtual Reality

The main difference between VR systems and traditional media (such as radio, television) lies in three dimensionality of Virtual Reality structure.

Immersion, presence and interactivity are peculiar features of Virtual reality that draw it away from other representational technologies. Virtual reality does not imitate real reality, nor does it have a representational function. Human being’s have inability to distinguish between perception, hallucination, and illusions.

VR has grown into a new phase and becomes a distinct field in world of computing. The utility of VR has already been researched in car design, robot design, medicine, chemistry, biology, education, as well as in building design and construction (Whyte, j. et al., 1999).

Technologies                 

Four technologies are crucial for VR:

• The visual displays that immerse the user in virtual world and that block out contradictory sensory impressions from the real world;
• The graphics rendering system that generates at, 20 or 30 frames per second. The ever changing images;
• The tracking system that continually reports the position of user’s head and Limbs
• The database construction and maintenance system for building design

Virtual Sexuality – Widescreen $12.99 A woman looking for the man of her dreams turns to a computer with unexpected results in the British comedy Virtual Sexuality. Justine (Laura Fraser) is 17 year old and a virgin, a situation she’s none too happy about. She has her eye on Alex (Kieran O’Brien), one of her classmates, and has been plotting a seduction following the advice of her friends Fran (Marcelle Duprey) and Chas (Luke de Lacey). However, when Alex breaks their date to go out with Hoover (Natasha Bell), Justine is crushed; to take her mind off this turn of events, she goes to a computer show with Chas. Justine notices a virtual-reality makeover machine on display, and after toying with her own image for a while uses the computer to design her ideal man. Something goes wrong with the hall’s power supply, and the computer explodes. The dust settles to reveal Jake (Rupert Penry-Jones), who looks like the man Justine was designing — except he’s wearing her clothes and thinks he’s her. Justine eventually returns and is introduced to Jake; she finds she likes him quite a bit, not realizing he’s merely a manifestation of her own personality. However, Jake also has also attracted the attention of her nemesis Hoover. Virtual Sexuality was based on a novel by British author Chloe Rayban. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Total Reality - $9.99 A soldier must confront the past to save the future in this sci-fi adventure. In the year 2128, the Earth has become a battleground, where the forces of fascist leader Gen. Tunis (Thomas Kretschmann) have been beaten into submission. However, the victory of the anti-fascist Alliance has come at the expense of much of the planet, which has been laid to waste by Tunis’s forces. Refusing to surrender, Tunis instead finds a way to travel back in time to the late 1990s, where he formulates a plan to alter history to his advantage — and put the fate of the world in jeopardy. However, Lt. Anthony Rand (David Bradley), an Alliance soldier who fights bravely but by his own rules, gets wind of Tunis’s scheme; with the help of a group of condemned prisoners, Rand follows Tunis back in time in a desperate effort to save mankind’s future. Total Reality also features Ely Pouget, Bill Shaw, and Robert Blanche. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi
