The Oculus Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display developed by Oculus VR. It uses lenses and a split screen to display stereoscopic 3D graphics with a 110 degree field of view. Tracking of the user's head position is enabled by infrared LEDs on the headset and a camera. The Rift is connected to a PC via an HDMI cable that provides video and a USB cable for data and power. It has progressed through developer kits with improved screens and tracking technology in preparation for a consumer version.
The Rift is a virtual reality head-mounted display developed by Oculus VR. It was initially proposed in a Kick starter campaign, during which Oculus VR.
The simulation aspect of the Oculus Rift can be put to use as a tool for training. It's one of the more obvious non-gaming applications for the device, mostly because non-VR simulations already exist in many fields, but the quality of simulation is what's important here.

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real-world are "augmented" by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.The overlaid sensory information can be constructive (i.e. additive to the natural environment) or destructive (i.e. masking of the natural environment) and is seamlessly interwoven with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one's ongoing perception of a real-world environment, whereas virtual reality completely replaces the user's real-world environment with a simulated one. Augmented reality is related to two largely synonymous terms: mixed reality and computer-mediated reality.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
2. OCULUS RIFT
• The Oculus Rift is an upcoming virtual reality head-mounted
display, being developed by Oculus VR
• Oculus Rift was invented by a virtual reality enthusiast named
Palmer Luckey and later developed with the help of John
Cormack.

3. WHAT IS VIRTUAL REALITY?
• Virtual Reality (VR), is a computer-simulated environment that
can simulate physical presence in places in the real world or
imagined worlds.
• Virtual Reality Simulations have widespread uses in the fields of
Fine Arts, Music, Gaming, Military Training, etc.
• It involves the recreation of human senses (sight, sound, touch,
taste, smell)
3
4. EARLY INVENTIONS IN VR FIELD
• Sensorama by Morton Heilig in 1962
• Displayed stereoscopic 3D images in a wide-frame view
• Supplied stereo sound

6. • The Eyephone in 1984
• First consumer head-mounted display
• Displayed colour graphics
• Used hand gestures to interact with a virtual world

7. • Nintendo Virtual Boy released in 1995
• Marketed as the first portable game console that
could display “true 3D graphics”
• Monochromatic display
• Used oscillating mirrors to create a 3D effect
7
8. OCULUS RIFT
• Uses lenses and a split screen to
display 3D graphics
• It uses a 7 inch LCD display screen with a
resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels.
• Screen is divided into 640 by 800 pixels per
eye, with a fixed distance between lens
centers.
• 110 degree field of view
8
11. THE CABLE
• Video is sent to the Oculus
Rift via HDMI cable.
• It also includes USB, which
carries data and power to the
device.
11
12. THE POSITIONAL
TRACKER
• Tracking the position of your head
in 3D space is critical to the way
the Rift works.
• One of the ways it achieves this is
with a series of infrared LEDs
embedded in the headset, which
are monitored by a webcam-like
camera placed nearby
12
13. THE HEADSET
• Feed is send into the headset, which connects to your head via
vertical and horizontal straps, with the uppermost strap including
the HDMI and USB cable.
• Further customisation is achieved with two pairs of lenses, which
magnify the screen so it fills your field of view.
13
14. THE COMPONENTS
• Within the headset sits a single custom motherboard, which
includes an ARM (Advanced RISC Machines) processor and control
chips for the LEDs.
• The “Adjacent Reality Tracker" which was developed
independently of the Oculus Rift, but has since become a key
component.
14
15. THE COMPONENTS(CONTD.)
• The ART features a magnetometer, a gyroscope and an
accelerometer, all of which combine to accurately track the rift
across all three dimensions of three-dimensionality.
• The ART can track infinitesimally tiny head movements, even if
you're on a rollercoaster during an earthquake.
15
16. THE SCREEN
• Its 1920 x 1080 HD resolution delivers a 960 x 1080 display to each
eye.
• Its refresh rate of 60 Hz keeps things smooth.
16
17. THE FEEDBACK LOOP
• A huge amount of data is continually sent back and forth between
the positional tracker, the headset, the computer and its software.
• It results in an incredibly smooth VR experience.
• Adjustments such as brightness and contrast are made via Oculus'
software.
• It also includes the ability to calibrate the Rift, set your height and
enter your interpupillary distance (IPD), i.e., the size of the gap
between your pupils.
17
18. THE AUDIO
• Oculus Audio SDK allows the use of Head-Related Transfer
Function (HRTF) technology.
• HRTFs simulate the changes to a sound when it reaches your head
from a point in space.
• It does this by referencing data that represents changes that
would happen to a sound coming from that direction.
