The technology which it tries to be able to experience in a way where it shows the information which is synthesized vis-a-vis the sensitive organ of the human of eyesight, hearing and tactual sense etc., with the computer and the like can understand that information intuitively know, can realize. Acknowledgment ability of the human is expanded can also consider the instrument of for the sake of.
The fact that it becomes the basis is the technology of 3D CG which creates 3 dimensional picture in real time. For example, if this and head mounted display (like HMD = goggle display which is worn in head) is combined, because it can indicate the sight which corresponds to the direction and the movement of the head, as for the experience person you can obtain the feeling like whether it entered into the space of. In addition, mono it grasps in the virtual space the data glove (device which inspects movement and the like of the hand) and by learning the data suit (movement etc. of body device which inspects) and the like, walks and moves and/or questions and the ? callous becomes possible. Furthermore, if the sound effect is combined, the appearance impression you can obtain the experience which overflows.
As for the virtual reality, other than the game and image amusement, military affair, aerospace, such as medical care, education, construction and communication application in field is thought many. You can call the flight simulation which is used in pilot training of the aircraft, typical example of virtual reality utilization. Also VRML and the like which creates the 3D picture with the Web sight on Internet makes 1 field of virtual reality.
The word, virtual reality is said that in the word which was used in order to explain product category the occasion where the RB2 system to which the American VPL research corporation includes HMD and the data glove on the eighties latter half is sold, the person who is the computer scientist and the visual artist with the founder of the same company designated.
The research which it is related to the virtual reality already several existed in the United States of the sixties. One is the tele operation (remote manipulation) technology which designates the utilization with military affair and space exploration and the like as purpose, in addition CG and HCI and inart the interactive art etc. in computer science you can list. You can say that the concept which integrates these is VR.
With indian "virtual reality" "virtual reality" and so on it is translated, simulating actuality with the computer, the technology which makes the hypothetical space and there is many a thing which is explained, but the language, virtual "and in the aspect of character differs from the real thing as an actual existence, but there is no nuance, which means equality as an essence, and an effect" "imagination" properly |
