  1. HCI Human Computer Interaction Marwan Al-Namari Week 9

  2. What is VR Virtual Reality (VR) is the illusion of a three-dimensional, interactive, computer-generated reality where sight, sound, and sometimes even touch are simulated to create pictures, sounds, and objects that actually seem real.

  3. Major Concepts • VR must allow the user to view the environment from any point and at any angle • VR must allow the user to interact with objects in the environment.

  4. History • Ivan Sutherland (1960) • First head mounted display and head tracking system • MIT (1983) • “Put That There” • “The Aspen Movie Map” • UNC (1986) • Using “virtual world” term • Walkthrough, Pixel Flow & Nanomanipulator systems

  5. History (cont’d) • NASA Ames Research Center • HMD, VPL Datagloves and BOOM • Spatial (3D) Sound • Super Cockpit • VPL • First Commercial VR Hardware & systems • “Reality Build for Two” (RB2) • “Body Electric”

  6. History (cont’d) • Myron Krueger • GlowFlow, Meta play,Psychic space & Videoplace • Naval Postgraduate School • SIMNET • NPSNET

  7. Types of VR- Immersive VR • Use of Special Purpose Equipment • Feel of Presence

  8. Types of VR-Window on the World (WoW) • Also known as Desktop VR • Use of a monitor to display the visual world • Does not require special hardware • Low Cost Low Performance Less Immersion ø ø

  9. Types of VR-Telepresence • Real-time telepresence Interactions are reflected to some real world objects. • Delayed telepresence Interactions are recorded, and after satisfaction is applied to the real-world object.

  10. Types of VR-Augmented VR • Computer generated inputs merged with the user’s view of the real world • Components of VR -VR Hardware -VR Software

  11. VR Hardware • Primary user input interfaces • Tracking interfaces • Visual interfaces • Auditory interfaces • Haptic interfaces • Olfactory interfaces

  12. Primary Interfaces • Keyboard, Mouse, Joystick • 3D Pointing Devices • Spaceball • CyberWand • Ring Mouse • EGG

  13. Primary Interfaces (cont’d) • Whole-hand and body input • 5th Glove • Handmaster • ArmMaster • TCAS Dataware

  14. Tracking Interfaces • Measure head, body, hand or eye motion • Major Characteristics • Resolution • Accuracy • System Responsiveness • Sample rate, data rate, update rate and latency • Major Technologies • Magnetic • Acoustics • Optical

  15. Tracking Interfaces (cont’d) • Head & Body Tracking • Polhemous IsoTrak II & FastTrak • Flock of Bird • VideoDesk • Eye Tracking • BioMuse • DPI Eyetrackey

  16. Visual Interfaces (cont’d) • Head Mounted Display (HMD) • Datavisor 10x HMD • VR4000 • I-glasses! • VFX1 • BOOM

  17. Visual Interfaces (cont’d) • Stereoscopic Glasses • Shutter glasses • Passive glasses • Autostereoscopic • HDVD

  18. Auditory Interfaces • Auralization • 3D simulation of a complex acoustic field • Sonification • Audible display of data • Speech Recognition • Some products • Acoustetron II • RSS-10 Sound Space Processor • Q products

  19. Haptic Interfaces • Tactile (touch) • CyberTouch • Univ. of Salford • Kinesthetic (force) • HapticMaster • PHANToM

  20. Olfactory Interfaces • Electronic Nose • Storage Technologies • Liquid • Gel • Microencapsulation • Some Products • BOC Group Olfactory Delivery System • Univ. of Wollongong eNose
