Virtual-Reality (VR) or Visual-simulation brings to life static 3-dimensional objects in a synthetic environment that encompasses intelligence and behaviours in a real-time environment. Virtual environments can take a variety of forms from immersive (users are totally immersed into the world through use of head mounted displays (hmd) through desktop (industry standard systems running Windows, Linux and Unix Operating systems) to Projected VR making use of real-time 3D graphics to build cave environments for large scale collaborative design and experience's. This experience can be further enhanced through the incorporation of peripheral devices that enhance the other senses such as Sound (3D audio systems), Touch (haptic response), Grasp ( pinch gloves), position (motion trackers and positional sensors) and Navigation (joysticks and motion tracking devices), Interpretation (3D projection and imaging) Visualisation (immersive headmount display).

     Extractions: me department university teaching ... personal stuff Virtual Reality (VR) refers to the use of computers to simulate a physical environment in such a way that humans can readily visualize, explore, and interact with the ``objects'' in the environment. Since physical environments are inherently geometric, many of the computational problems involved in designing and building a VR system are geometric in nature. One particularly important problem that must be addressed in order to make VR a reality is the problem of real-time interactive collision detection (CD): Determine if two virtual objects intersect each other. Over the last few years, I have been working on efficient algorithms for collision detection. This has been a multi man-year effort, and is joint work with Jim Klosowski and Joe Mitchell , and has been carried out in cooperation with Boeing. One of our CD algorithms builds a tetrahedral mesh of free space, and then tracks the motion of the moving object within this tetrahedral mesh. The motivation for using a tetrahedral mesh is that one can anticipate to reduce the number of pairwise intersection checks drastically by exploiting the information encoded in the mesh. In other, more recent approaches we make use of discrete-orientation polytopes (

175. Living Inside The (Operating) System
     Essay discussing communities in MOOs, using PMCMOO as a case study and discussing scholarly and pedagogical trajectories of MOOs. 1996.  
     http://www.iath.virginia.edu/pmc/Virtual.Community.html
     
     Extractions: Send a Comment or Suggestion "Machines speak to machines before speaking to man, and the ontological domains that they reveal and secrete are, at each occurrence, singular and precarious." Felix Guattari, "Machinic Heterogenesis" "We live by the mode of referendum precisely because there is no longer any referential." Jean Baudrillard, Simulations "I think a lot of the common assumptions we make are actually built in to the MOO apparatus . . . . The elements of the MOO are constructed for the most part to simulate a real physical community. Ideas like 'privacy' and 'ownership' are constantly implied by the descriptions and properties if not the actual programming of every object." Ogre, in "MOO.Terrorism" This essay is an attempt to describe and explain the way that an unusual (but by no means anomalous) culture has developed under the aegis of PMC-MOO, a text-based virtual-reality program that runs on a networked Unix workstation. It is also an attempt to describe the scholarly and pedagogical trajectory of this program, by identifying the conceptual coordinates of its origin. MOOs belong to a class of programs known as MUDs, and MUDs are ably defined by Pavel Curtis, the inventor of MOOs, as follows:
