Imagination: The third reality to the virtuality continuum. Cookiedetectresponse. Sébastien "VR Geek" Kuntz » A Definition of VR. Short definition Immersive Virtual Reality (iVR) is the science and technology required for a user to feel present, via perceptive, cognitive and functional immersion and interaction, in a generated environment. Introduction The term VR, Virtual Reality, seems now useless because it is too broadly defined and means different things to people. It ranges from any kind of 3D interactive application, to online metaverses like SecondLife, and finally to immersive VR. For me VR is Immersive Virtual Reality, the ultimate alternate reality we can get ! For examples of what I call iVR setups and applications, read my State of VR. The terms ‘Immersion’ and ‘Presence’, which for me are essential for VR, are also now confusing, so let’s start by defining some fundamental concepts. - Fred Brooks asking the question, IEEE VR 2010 - Definitions Reality We could start be defining reality.
Presence Then let’s define presence. The place illusion (PI) implies that your perception is fooled. Immersion Immersive VR. What is VR. Why Virtual Reality (VR)? A picture paints a thousand words... but an interactive VR simulation paints millions What is VR? Virtual reality can be many things to many men (and women). However, VR can trace its roots back to the 1860s, when in the art world, 360-degree panoramic murals (eg. Peruzzi's work "Sala delle Prospettive) started to appear.
Moving a few decades on, stereographic photography started to become popular – and by the 1920s, car simulators were also being introduced. Today, computer based VR tends to be used at two levels: Interactive 3D virtual environments, or worlds Virtual artefacts, that is, objects such as a machine, device or historical object Our favourite (modern) definition of VR is: …It is a computer-generated, three dimensional environment where the user can move around freely, see and manipulate the content of the environment – one where all communication is interactive and with immediate response” Levels of VR This all sounds very impressive, doesn't it?

Virtual Reality (VR), which can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated life, replicates an environment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds. Virtual reality can recreate sensory experiences, which include virtual taste, sight, smell, sound, and touch. Most up to date virtual reality environments are displayed either on a computer screen or with special stereoscopic displays, and some simulations include additional sensory information and emphasise real sound through speakers or headphones targeted towards VR users. Some advanced, haptic, systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback in medical, gaming and military applications. Concept origins[edit] Multimedia: from Wagner to Virtual Reality, edited by Randall Packer and Ken Jordan and first published in 2001, explores the term and its history from an avant-garde perspective.
