Sutherland’s 1965 Vision • Display as a window into a virtual world • Improve image generation until the picture looks real • Computer maintains world model in real time • User directly manipulates virtual objects • Manipulated objects move realistically • Immersion in virtual world via head-mounted display • Virtual world also sounds real, feels real
4 Technologies Are Crucial for VR • Visual (and aural and haptic) displays that immerse the user in the virtual world and that block out contradictory sensory impressions from the real world • Graphics rendering system that generates, at 20 to 30 frames per second, the ever-changing images • Tracking system that continually reports the position and orientation of the user’s head and limbs; and • Database construction and maintenance system for building and maintaining detailed and realistic models of the virtual world.
