AN OVERVIEW OF VIRTUAL
REALITY
ABSTRACT :-
In our world today we are surrounded by a wonderful array of technologies. We have
assimilated many of these technologies into our everyday lives. Increasingly, these
different technologies are becoming integrated to provide new capabilities and
services. And most frequently a computer is the heart of this integration. This is the
case with Virtual Reality - a so-called technology which actually is a very
sophisticated integration of a number of technologies.
Virtual Reality is a computer-based technology which incorporates specialized input
and output devices to allow the user to interact with and experience an artificial
environment as if it were the real world. A VR system permits the user to explore a
three-dimensional virtual - or artificial - environment and to interact with lifelike
and/or fantasy elements created by the designer. In the virtual world, the user can
do things as routine as throwing a ball or as fantastic as flying through space. And
these things can be made to occur by something as simple as a hand gesture or a
nod or (one day) a sound.
The following is an attempt to provide an introduction to virtual reality and some
of its basics.The technical paper provides a brief introduction to the new emerging
technology followed by the two types of Virtual Reality systems viz. Desktop Virtual
Reality System and Immersive Virtual Reality System.It also provides information
about the various devices that are used for Immersive Virtual Reality System. Paper
also covers the characteristics and applications of Virtual Reality. Finally the
conclusion provides the importance of this emerging technology and attempts to give
a brief look into how Virtual reality can affect the future.
INTRODUCTION TO VIRTUAL REALITY :-
Virtual Reality is generally a Computer Generated (CG) environment that makes
the user think that he/she is in the real environment. One may also experience a
virtual reality by simply imagining it, like Alice in Wonderland, but we will focus on
computer generated virtual realities.
The virtual world is hosted on a computer in the form of a database (e.g. terrain
database or environment database). The database resides in the memory of the
computer. The database generally consists of points in space (vertices), as well as
textures (images). vertices may be connected to form planes, commonly referred to
as polygons. Each polygon consists of at least three vertices. The polygon could
have a specific color, and the color could be shaded, or the polygon could have a
texture pasted onto it. Virtual objects will consist of polygons. A virtual object will
have a position (x, y, z), an orientation (yaw, pitch, roll) as well as attributes
(e.g. gravity or elasticity). Virtual Reality (VR) provides the experience of perception
