8. Sutherland’s 1965 Vision
Display as a window into a virtual world
Improve image generation until the picture looks real
Computer maintains world model in real time
User directly manipulates virtual objects
Manipulated objects move realistically
Immersion in virtual world via head-mounted display
Virtual world also sounds real, feels real

9. AR is the closest to the real environment because it consists
mostly of real world images, with a minority of the images
being computer-generated. Augmented virtuality is a term for
applications that create a mostly virtual world, but which
includes a few images from the real world. (Milgram, 1994)
