VIRTUAL REALITY & ITS APPLICATIONS
Information Systems
This paper will describe the basic components of virtual reality. The paper will also provide a variety of practical applications for this technology in many industries. The paper is a brief summary and brief comparative analysis of the advantages and disadvantages of virtual technology. Virtual technology has been in existence for decades and as time passes, its integration in mainstream culture and everyday life increases. Overall, the paper is a concise introduction to the virtual reality technology, and the numerous implementations of the technology in our world.
Brief introduction
Virtual reality technology is computer-based technology that simulates real environments and imaginary environments. Virtual reality technology primarily consists of visual and tactile interfaces between the user and the computer system monitoring and operating the equipment. Virtual reality describes environments that are three-dimensional (3D), immersive, simulations, and very visual. Virtual reality technology is an example of integrated advanced technology in computer graphics, CAD software, and...

Virtual reality (VR) was originally conceived as a digitally created space that humans could access by donning sophisticated computer equipment (Lanier, 1992; Rheingold, 1991; Sutherland, 1968). Once inside that space, people could be transported to a different world, a substitute reality in which one could interact with objects, people, and environments, the appearance of which were bound only by the limits of the human imagination…A virtual environment (VE) is a digital space in which a user's movements are tracked and his or her surroundings rendered, or digitally composed and displayed to the senses, in accordance with those movements." (Fox et al., 2009,-Page 95)
Virtual reality technology provides humans the opportunity to explore worlds they could only imagine, or explore aspects of the known world in ways we are yet unable to reproduce in real life. This technology has profound potential to influence the evolution of the human species.

Virtual Reality Virtually reality is a broad term that is used in regards to a computer simulated environment that can simulate a real world experience or an imaginary world that can be rather creative. Most of these computer simulations are primarily based on a visual experience however more sensory information is also being created and intergrade into the experience as well. These systems are mostly used for either training or entertainment;
virtual reality event at a museum. I was really excited to go because I'm always interested in learning more about technological innovation and how it is used in different ways. The new virtual reality technology out there involves the use of multiple cameras that record in all directions and are thus used to create experiences using the captured imagery. The image is thus viewed through the virtual reality goggles. I
Super-violence is a new term that defines violence in a grand and exaggerating way. (Klare 16) Seen as an era of constant warfare and violence, it has made its way into entertainment and media. Whether it is chopping the heads of people and seeing the blood from their bodies gush like champagne fountains or seeing throats slit by children, today's media has taken on a new level of violence that
Despite the existence of this notion, juxtaposition enables montage to deal with cut and paste contradictory pieces and the concept of visual language. This enables the achievement or development of new meaning of the images. It is ideal to note that mass media images were put together, though fake and clumsy, are productive in the production of documentary picture in relation to history (Jenkins 2006, p. 214). This enables
Virtual Religious Service Islam is a religion of great misconceptions and of immense misunderstanding. It was because of this same notion that this religion in particular was of great interest. With all the negative publicity that Islam receives in the media, people only get exposed to the violent extremists that represent a minute minority of this religion. A picture of violence and death is flashed on the television daily, forcing many
There are several characteristic that are evident with the software system use in virtual collaboration technology. The first characteristic is that most of these tools are web based and are downloadable; they also have the ability to offer a text chat feature in real time, thereby allowing for the synchronous communication among various users. The platforms also has VoIP functionality, thereby giving them the ability to transmit sound over the
