2. Ground rules for today
• Please ask questions. We forbid
embarrassment.
• We are assuming a baseline
awareness of being new to
VR/AR/MR.
• Please contribute thoughts. This
is a rapidly developing field!
3. VR: introduction
Virtual reality (VR) typically
refers to computer technologies
that use software to generate
realistic images, sounds and
other sensations that replicate a
real environment (or create an
imaginary setting), and simulate
a user's physical presence in
this environment.
11. Augmented reality
[A] live direct or indirect view of a
physical, real-world environment
whose elements are augmented (or
supplemented) by computer-
generated sensory input such as
sound, video, graphics or GPS
data.
17. VR+AR=MR
Mixed reality (MR), sometimes referred to as
hybrid reality, is the merging of real and
virtual worlds to produce new environments
and visualizations where physical and digital
objects co-exist and interact in real time.
Mixed reality takes place not only in the
physical world or the virtual world, but is a mix
of reality and virtual reality, encompassing
both augmented reality and augmented
virtuality.
