8. • Distance and screen size are important
(50``, < 3m)
• Other characteristics matter (more):
– Refresh rate
– Contrast ratio
– High-dynamic range & wide color gamut

13. Ideas from the Quick Dive sessions
• better readability of texts (sharper characters,
e.g. on computer monitor).
• useful for displaying mathematical derivations
• in medical sciences, e.g. recordings of operations
• high resolution microscopic images (zoom in)
• geographical information
• more data on the screen, e.g. 4 graphs instead of
one.
• CAD/CAM images
• 3D (image split in two)

14. Virtual Reality and 3D

15. Virtual Reality and 3D
A believable, interactive 3D computer-created
world that you can explore so you feel you really
are there, both mentally and physically.

• 'Gamification', e.g. doing forensic research in a
VR Lab;
• Virtual field trips, expeditions;
• Learning to operate machines etc.;
• Access to limited spaces, e.g. labs;
• Preparing presentations
• Support to overcome certain fobia
• 360 degrees video
