Book Synopsis Designing Virtual Reality Systems by : Gerard Kim

Download or read book Designing Virtual Reality Systems written by Gerard Kim. This book was released on 2007-01-04. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Developing and maintaining a VR system is a very difficult task, requiring in-depth knowledge in many disciplines. The difficulty lies in the complexity of having to simultaneously consider many system goals, some of which are conflicting. This book is organized so that it follows a spiral development process for each stage, describing the problem and possible solutions for each stage. Much more hands-on than other introductory books, concrete examples and practical solutions to the technical challenges in building a VR system are provided. Part 1 covers the very basics in building a VR system and explains various technical issues in object modeling and scene organization. Part 2 deals with 3D multimodal interaction, designing for usable and natural interaction and creating realistic object simulation. Primarily written for first level graduates, advanced undergraduates and IT professionals will also find this a valuable guide.

Book excerpt: The Complete Guide to Virtual Reality in Architecture andDesign The first in-depth book on virtual reality (VR) aimed specificallyat architecture and design professionals, Designing Digital Spacesteers you skillfully through the learning curve of this excitingnew technology. Beginning with a historical overview of theevolution of architectural representations, this unique resourceexplains what VR is, how it is being applied today, and how itpromises to revolutionize not only the design process, but the formand function of the built environment itself. Vividly illustratinghow VR fits alongside traditional methods of architecturalrepresentation, this comprehensive guide prepares you to makeoptimum practical use of this powerful interactive tool, andembrace the new role of the architect in a virtually designedworld. Offers in-depth coverage of the virtual universe--datarepresentation and information management, static and dynamicworlds, tracking and visual display systems, control devices, andmore. Examines a wide range of current VR architectural applications,from walkthroughs, simulations, and evaluations to reconstructionsand networked environments Includes insightful essays by leading VR developers covering someof today's most innovative projects Integrates VR into the historical framework of architecturaldevelopment, with detailed sections on the past, present, andfuture Features a dazzling array of virtual world images and sequentialdisplays Explores the potential impact of digital architecture on the builtenvironment of the future

Book Synopsis Understanding Virtual Reality by : William R. Sherman

Download or read book Understanding Virtual Reality written by William R. Sherman. This book was released on 2018-11-08. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding Virtual Reality: Interface, Application, and Design, Second Edition, arrives at a time when the technologies behind virtual reality have advanced dramatically in their development and deployment, providing meaningful and productive virtual reality applications. The aim of this book is to help users take advantage of ways they can identify and prepare for the applications of VR in their field, whatever it may be. The included information counters both exaggerated claims for VR, citing dozens of real-world examples. By approaching VR as a communications medium, the authors have created a resource that will remain relevant even as the underlying technologies evolve. You get a history of VR, along with a good look at systems currently in use. However, the focus remains squarely on the application of VR and the many issues that arise in application design and implementation, including hardware requirements, system integration, interaction techniques and usability. Features substantive, illuminating coverage designed for technical or business readers and the classroom Examines VR's constituent technologies, drawn from visualization, representation, graphics, human-computer interaction and other fields Provides (via a companion website) additional case studies, tutorials, instructional materials and a link to an open-source VR programming system Includes updated perception material and new sections on game engines, optical tracking, VR visual interface software and a new glossary with pictures
