1In this talk the objective is to introduce Virtual Reality in a fun and informative way. The talk is short, exciting and should get the brain going. The main focus is ensuring the audience is blown away by how big Virtual Reality is about to become and that they can be a part of it now. Whos backing it to make it happen? The Smackdown is the reality showdown, why didnt it pick up the last time, the big folks were there then.

4Virtual Reality allows you to view to experience an environment that simulates physical presence in the real world or a created worlds. It is usually viewed through a stereoscopic headset, the headset which is binocular like creates the illusion of depth.

Virtual Reality (VR), which can be referred to as immersive multimedia or computer-simulated life, replicates an environment that simulates physical presence in places in the real world or imagined worlds. Virtual reality can recreate sensory experiences, which include virtual taste, sight, smell, sound, and touch.Most up to date virtual reality environments are displayed either on a computer screen or with special stereoscopic displays, and some simulations include additional sensory information and emphasise real sound through speakers or headphones targeted towards VR users. Some advanced, haptic, systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback in medical, gaming and military applications. Furthermore, virtual reality covers remote communication environments which provide virtual presence of users with the concepts of telepresence and telexistence or a virtual artifact (VA) either through the use of standard input devices such as a keyboard and mouse, or through multimodal devices such as a wired glove or omnidirectional treadmills.

Stereoscopy (also called stereoscopics or 3D imaging) is a technique for creating or enhancing the illusion of depth in an image by means of stereopsis for binocular vision

Virtual Reality History - 1968#vr_smackdown5The Sword of Damocles - Ivan Sutherland

The Sword of Damocles[1] is widely considered to be the first virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) head-mounted display (HMD) system. It was created in 1968 by hall of fame computer scientist Ivan Sutherland with the help of his student Bob Sproull. Before he began working toward what he termed "the ultimate display",[2] Ivan Sutherland was already well respected for his accomplishments in computer graphics (see Sketchpad). At MITs Lincoln Laboratory beginning in 1966, Sutherland and his colleagues performed what is widely believed to be the first experiments with head-mounted displays of different kinds.

Consumer-focused AR is primarily used in the advertising and entertainment sectors today, but there is an increased interest from educational establishments seeking new ways to share stories or deliver training, as well as service providers looking to improve access to their data.Example use cases include:Interactive product packaging viewing a product using your smartphone launches additional layers of content such as recipes, product feature videos or celebrity endorsements.Augmented advertising bringing traditional print advertising to life by connecting advertising images to hidden content such as movie trailers or rich product videos.Local search Using location-based content together with AR offers an interesting alternative to the usual map or list views when presenting localised search results. This is already in active use by property agents and directory services companies.Games Although many of the early AR-based games failed to create any meaningful connection between the digital gameplay and the real world view, this is an area of constant innovation, with newer efforts at mixed reality location-based gaming gaining consumer interest.Well explore different aspects of AR in more detail in future articles, in the meantime leave a comment to let us know if there are any particular areas that youre interested in and well focus on these first.

#vr_smackdown part 2Are we going there again? Just a fad?If its a fad it will be one of the most economy boosting and profitable fads ever.100 million pieces of hardware + several years of software for just Oculus no doubtXbox One Controller with every Oculus, works with Windows 10 or XboxIs it different?Ground breaking visualization, it doesnt look like Minecraft now!Can we prove it will work? It does work, but check back with Gartner next year, hype cycles and fancy graphs will tell you a possible future!
