Full Immersion Virtual Reality!
Full Immersion Virtual Reality is a system where the user is immersed in a computer-generated 3 dimensional environment by wearing devices that enable the user to interactively exchange information with the environment.
Most systems today involve a head-mounted display, and some sort of data glove for for moving, changing directions and moving objects. In addition, a space tracking device tracks and records the user's movements and a 3d audio system allows for surround sound.
Full immersion virtual reality stimulates the five human senses to make an artificial illusion of reality. Virtual reality enables us to experience imaginary spaces as if they were real, without any constraints from the real world. All five sensory organs (eye, nose, ear, mouth, skin) are immersed into the virtually created world. Every factor of the cyber space is mutually related to the movements of the person, who feels actually inside the virtual environment.
Welcome to VirtuSphere
VirtuSphere has already been used to sell Moscow as the 2012 Olympic venue and although London got the gig, has subsequently been rolled out by the Russian Tourism Authorities making it possible to walk the Red Square and the Kremlin and experience enough of their magic to promote a physical journey with real dollars to spend.
It also offers on-the-job training for very dangerous jobs without the mortality rate - a soldier can learn to respond appropriately before encountering real world, life-threatening situations. SWAT team members can walk a virtual building prior to ingress into the real building and soldiers can understand the layout of a city they are about to attack.
The most commercial opportunities today for full immersion virtual reality will come in entertainment and education. And as an amusement park ride or museum exhibit, the VirtuSphere can help synthesise a compelling and authentic experience in many genres – from walking on the moon to visiting a Ugandan orphanage to walking across the virtual playing field while the real game is on.
Most Realistic Virtual Reality Room
Pictured is the result of more than $4 million in equipment upgrades at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. All in all - 100 million pixels are displayed in the six-sided virtual reality room.
That's twice the number of pixels lighting up any other virtual reality room in the world - in a 10-foot by 10-foot virtual reality room that surrounds users with computer-generated 3-D images. Although not full immersion, the experience is quite moving.
