What's New in Teams Calling, Meetings and Devices March 2024
Virtual reality
1.
2. WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY?
• “Virtual Reality is a way for humans to
visualize, manipulate and interact with
computers and extremely complex data.”
• Virtual reality is often sometimes called as
Synthetic Environment, Cyberspaces Artificial
Reality, Simulators Technology, etc.
3. VIRTUAL REALITY: STEPS OF
DEVELOPMENT
1. HMD—helmets
2. BOOM—BinocularOmni-Orientation Monitor
3. CAVE—CAVE Automatic Virtual Environment
4. 3D VIDEO Eyewear
5. Input devise, Output Devise
6. Hardware
7. Software
4. Immersive
Non - immersive
Augmented
Text-based
Desktop (Window on a World)
Video Mapping
Telepresence
Mixed Reality
9. Early Uses
Late 1960’s (the main players
in history)
• U.S. military radar system
& NASA
• Ivan Sutherland’s
“Sketchpad” for designers
• Flight simulators
• That cool headgear returns!
10. Current Uses
• Virtual reality war
zone stress reliever
• VR treatment with
kids
• Movie
entertainment
• Video game
entertainment
11. • Training
– Military
• Microsoft flight sim?
– Scholarly
– Medical
– Construction
– Law Enforcement
– Lots more….
12. Interaction with the environment.
User interface.
user can see and even feel the shaped surface under
his/her fingertips.
Flight simulators and games.
CAD/CAE
Biomedical Engineering the projects mentioned are
use of virtual reality for viewing of X-RAY's and MRI‘s.
Rendering and 3-D lighting, modeling for resource
management.
13. New technologies have also revealed new problems.
VR in medical treatment is going through some growing
pains.
There are limitations with VR devices as well in regards
to usability.
lack of standardization of hardware and protocols
Most troublesome are the side effects it can induce, like
disorientation, dizziness and nausea.
People often find navigating in 3-D spaces and
performing actions in free space extremely difficult.
practical problems in spatial cognition research
14. Future of VR?
• Future only bound by technological advance
– Nanotechnology?
– Implants?
• U. Washington already researching:
– Retina image screening
– Nervous system implanting (EEG and EMG)
• Unmanned Flight
– Gulf War…
15. Summary
Visualization of complicated, large data is helpful
for understanding and analysis.
VR offers us a new way to interact with
computer.
VR enables us to experience the virtual world
that is impossible in real world.
VR is changing our life, eventually VR will
increasingly become a part of our life.
