Product Description
During the last decade the word virtual became one of the most exposed words in the English language. Today we have virtual universities, virtual offices, virtual pets, virtual actors, virtual museums, virtual doctors - and all because of virtual reality. So what is virtual reality? Essentially, virtual reality is about the navigation and manipulation of 3D computer-generated scenes. Navigation lets us move around and explore features of a 3D scene (a building for example), and once inside that virtual building, it is possible to interact with objects such as chairs and cups by picking them up or moving them. Virtual Reality is moving very quickly and there are an ever-increasing number of people wanting to know more about this exciting subject. Introduction to Virtual Reality explains what VR is about, without going into the underlying mathematical techniques. Key topics are: The origins of VR; how VR works; how VR is being used. After reading this book you will have a far better understanding of the impact of virtual reality on our everyday lives.
