Virtual Worlds: Representation, Creation & Simulation Chapter 7. Virtual Worlds: Rendering Chapter 8. Networked VR Systems and Shared Virtual Worlds Chapter 9. Augmented Reality Chapter 10. Applications and Advanced Issues

  2. Chapter 1. Introduction 1-1. What is VR? 1-2. Related Areas 1-3. History 1-4. State of the Art and R&D Issues 1-5. Some Novel Applications 1-6. Major Players 1-7. Information Resources

  3. 1-1. What is VR? 1. Science vs. engineering 2. Some terminologies 3. VR as a computer technology 4. VR as a media 5. Conceptual model

  4. 1. science vs. engineering • What is not VR. • high road - replication of reality low road - 3-D interface / interaction • VR = studies on reality ===> computational reality • analogous to AI • lots of hypes • AI as a science / engineering

  5. What is not VR.

  6. VR as computational reality • To seek for the computational model of reality. • To apply the model to the VR system. • VR can be understood in the context of modeling efforts. • intelligence • linguistics • emotion • life • reality • compuational “X”

  7. 2. Some terminologies • virtual reality • virtual environment • synthetic environment • cyberspace • computer generated environment that is ... • immersive, • interactive, • multi-sensory, • viewer-centered, • 3-D.

  8. 3. VR as a computer technology • Technological trend • powerful • smart • physical • computer - human interaction • primary concern --- software other important issues --- hardware, human factors, social issues, infrastructure

  9. Computer World Interacting with computers

  10. Computer World New Paradigm for HCI

  11. 4. VR as a media • All medium attempt to create the “virtual presence”. • Theater, poem, fine arts, novel, telephone, movies, TV, ... • VR vs. existing media • immersive • interactive • 3-D • multimodal • mediated • Information is not sent back and forth. • Mediated environments are created and then experience.

  12. effectiveness of communication depends on ... the sense of “being there”. • virtual presence • virtual presence depends on ... • sensory breadth • sensory depth • interactivity

  13. 5. Conceptual model • Basic components of VR systems: • machine • interface • human • Issues • The roles of the components • How to put them together? • How to conceptualize (or abstractize) the system? • functional breakdown • human and technological views

  14. Sensors (Video Camera/ Virtual Camera) Effectors (CRT Display) Sensors (Eyes) Inter-linkage hardware Tele-operations hardware or simulation computer Human Operator Physical/ Virtual worksite Effectors (Robot/ Virtual effector) Sensors (Joystick/dataglove) Effectors (Hands) By Stephen Ellis, in “What are Virtual Environments?”, IEEE CG&A, pp.17-22, Jan 1994
