 CONTENTS
 Definition and Need for Virtual Reality
 History
 Taxonomy
 Basic Virtual Reality
 Advanced Virtual Reality
 Applications
 Conclusion
 DEFINITION
 Virtual Reality is the use of computer modeling
and simulation that enables a person to interact
with an artificial three-dimensional (3-D) visual or
other sensory environment.
 Via seeing, hearing, smelling and feeling.
 WHY VIRTUAL REALITY
 Virtual reality is adopted by military, aviation,
sports like golf etc. as training ground in highly
realistic manner.
 In military, soldiers can diffuse a bomb without any
real world risks.
 In Medicine;
Earlier: Dissection and study using plastic models;
Now: Virtual Patients and Virtual Histology
 They have lower operating costs and are safer to
use than real experiences.
 VITARAMA AND CINERAMA
 VITARAMA: 11 Projectors and
dome shaped screen.
 CINERMA: Simplified version of
Vitarama. Used as wide-
screen film format in 1939. It used three
projectors onto a deeply
curved screen, subtending 146°
of arc.
 HARDWARE USED
Degree of Freedom: Optimal results in 5 DoFs such as
update rate, latency, accuracy, resolution and range
Input Devices: Trackers,
Joysticks, Mice, Data Glove.
Data Glove:
 Outfitted with sensors on the

fingers.
 Enables natural interaction by

hand gesture recognition.

 HARDWARE USED
Output Devices: CRT monitor and LCD screens.
 VR expanded from Basic to Immersive.

 New devices like Power Wall, Head-Mounted

Display (HMD), Binocular Omni Oriented Monitors

(BOOM)
TECHNOLOGIES USED [SOFTWARE]
Virtual Reality Modeling Language(VRML):

 It is a standard language to represent 3D graphics

within the World Wide Web.

 Allows the creator to specify images.

TECHNOLOGIES USED [SOFTWARE]
Software packages:
 Multiverse – Platform for Massively Multiplayer

Online Games.
 VR Studio – Creates virtual world in Free space.
 KEY ELEMENTS OF A VR SYSTEM
Key elements of a Virtual Reality System are
 Immersion: Active and Passive Immersion

 Interactivity: Interact with a virtual object while

navigating through the environment.

 Participants: New user and Experienced user;

One-to-one relationship and One-to-many

relationship.
 Feedback: Gives ability to observe the results.

Very useful in aviation and medicine.

 CLASSIFICATION
Type of Technology:
 BASIC: Do not require special input or output

 ENHANCED: Require additional input or output

devices to experience virtual reality.

Level of Mental Immersion:
 BASIC: Lower lever of immersion

 ENHANCED: Higher level of Immersion.

 BASIC VR SYSTEMS
BASIC VR SYSTEMS:
 The basic Virtual Reality systems have the least

level of immersion when compared to enhanced

systems.
 They are screen-based and pointer-driven which

are presented by three-dimensional graphics.

 These systems can be divided into subcategories,

such as the hand-based and the monitor-based

virtual reality systems.
 HAND BASED VR SYSTEMS
HAND BASED VR SYSTEMS:
 Hand-held devices, such as cell phones, ultra

mobile computers are used for VR experience.

 Ex: Wikitude World Browser

 Using a Digital Compass and a Camera on a smart

phone.
HAND BASED VR SYSTEMS
LEAP MOTION CONTROLLER:
 No hand contact required. A user can interact with

their computer by just using hand gestures.

 Senses your hands and

fingers and follows their

every move.
 MONITOR BASED VR SYSTEMS

 It is a desktop based computer displaying 3D

graphics on monitors.
 Ex: Fish Tank Display
 ENHANCED VR SYSTEMS
 Enhanced VR systems are again divided into two
sub categories:
 Partially Immersive : Wall projectors,Monocular

Head Based.
 Fully Immersive:

(a) Room based - Vehicle Simulation, CAVE

(b) Binocular head based
HOLOGRAM &
VIRTUAL FITTING
ROOM
Expectation in Movie Star Wars
 What is this?
 Hologram: Typically, a hologram is a photographic
recording of a light field, rather than of an image
formed by a lens, and it is used to display a fully
three-dimensional image of the holographed subject,
which is seen without the aid of special glasses or
other intermediate optics.

 Easier version (our opinion): a technique that can

display three dimensional images and users do not
need to use any other devices to view the outputs.
 Why is it amazing?
 Users do not to need wear any devices.
 It looks real! Most of other virtual reality devices--

connect to computer and 3D models generated by

computer.
 Interactive
 Some prototypes...
 Life Sized Hologram
 Hologram Presentation
 3D earth
Is it just for rich people?
 Future hologram

Long way to go…

 Multi-angle to view
 inside 3D images
 standard interfaces
 Virtual Fitting Room

 Sometimes, we work hard to

make lazy life possible.
 Have you go shopping with your
girlfriend or wife?
 How does it work?

Key: Kinect, powerful device. Skeleton Detection + 3D

models
