MAIN BODY OF THE ESSAY

The main idea of virtual reality had started in 1929 and since then there have been a number of developments that took place in this technology. A simple mechanical flight stimulator which was developed by Edward Link to train the pilots at stationary (Sherman R.W. Craig A.B. 2003). Which was the first step towards the technology virtual reality, then Morton Heilig in 1956 had created a multi-sensory simulator, it was a pre-recorded film in stereo and colour and also added with scent, wind, binaural sound, and vibration experiences which was called Sensorama (Sherman R.W. Craig A.B. 2003).

Reflection on my software skills

I would like to talk about my software skills, in my secondary school I had started learning programming which started with Visual basic and HTML. I had also learned how to edit a photograph using Photoshop. Once I was done with my schooling I stared learning C and C++, I have also done a course in basics of Ethical Hacking using Kali Linux. In my first semester at DMU I learned how to create and develop a website using Wix and finally I have started learning basic python programming language.

CASE STUDY: Oculus VR

As a start-up growing at hyper speed, Oculus VR recognized it was at risk of losing its inherent cultural traits: a closely knit team of equal intellectuals, where constant chatter and close proximity kept ideas flowing and colliding constantly, sometimes literally sticking to walls, as new prototypes spilled continuously out of 3D printers. And all of this happened while a telepresence robot digitally connected one Oculus engineer working in Dallas to team members in California. Their existing space was not working for them. Furnished with rigid, linear benching, conversations were constrained, conducted standing up, or leaning over others. Product Lead Joe Chen was frustrated that it didn’t really foster the right kind of interaction; “accidental collaborations” that happen spontaneously were too infrequent. There weren’t enough spots for quiet conversations, either. He wanted to enhance the connectivity and impromptu discussions that are inherent to the company’s success. They also...

Applications of VR

STIMULATOR There are many kinds of stimulators such as airplane stimulator, ship stimulator and car stimulator which are the same as the real and much safer to practice on. GAMING VR has changed the face of gaming, now gamers can play being an actual graphic character in the game. EDUCATION VR offers very different kinds of experience than those students normally encounter in school. Students can actually experience what they learn which would make their learning effective. MEDICAL Medical applications for virtual reality (VR) are just beginning to emerge. These include VR surgical simulators, telepresence surgery, complex medical database visualization, and rehabilitation. The VR surgical simulator is a stylized recreation of the human abdomen with several essential organs, a person can learn anatomy from a new perspective by ‘flying’ inside and around the organs, or can practice surgical procedures with a scalpel and clamps.
