6. 1950’s visionary cinematographer Morton Heilig built
a single user console called Sensorama. This enabled
the user watch television in three dimensional ways.
In 1961,Philco Corporation engineers developed the
first HMD known as the headsight.
HISTORY OF VIRTUAL REALITY
7. In 1988,commercial development of VR began.
In 1991,first commercial entertainment VR system “Virtuality” was released.
It was in 1965 IVAN SUTHERLAND envisioned what he called the “Ultimate
display”.
8. TYPES OF VIRTUAL REALITY
VR Systems can be divided into three groups.
Non immersive systems (like workstations) see information about the real
world,presented via-computer location based services,GIS.
Augumented reality systems(like HMD)
stay in real world,but see simulated objects.
Immersive systems(like CAVE) see simulated world and “be” in that simulated
world.
9. AUGUMENTED REALITY
“STAY IN REAL WORLD,BUT SEE SIMULATED OBJECTS”
Augumented Reality can be used for
training as well as for assembly purpose.
10. HARDWARE USED IN VR
The Logitech 3D mouse Figure is based on a ultrasonic position reference
array,which is a tripod consisting of three ultrasonic speakers set in a
triangular position,emits ultrasonic sound signals from each of the three
transmitters. These are used to track the receiver position,orientation and
movement.It provides proportional output in all 6 degrees of freedom:X,Y,Z,
Pitch,Yaw,and Roll.
11. MOTION TRACKERS
The Motion tracking system is based on magnetic sensors which
are attached to the user. Most common are sensors measuring the
intensity of a magnetic field generated at a reference point.The
motion of the different segments is tracked using magnetic
sensors. These sensors return raw Data(e.g positions and
orientation) expressed in a single frame system
12. VIRTUAL REALITY APPLICATIONS
ENGINEERING AND DESIGNING:
VR is widely used in engineering and designing process
It gives better understanding of the design and facilities changws wherever
necessary
It helps to reduce the time and cost factor.
Examples: Building construction,car designing
13. VIRTUAL REALITY IN MEDICAL FIELD
• Healthcare is one of the biggest adopters of virtual reality which encompasses surgery simulation,phobia
treatment,robotic surgery and skills training.
• VR finds it’s application in nursing,dentistry,health issues for the disabled.
