Haptic technology - Wikipedia. Rumble packs for controllers, such as this Dreamcast Jump Pack, provide haptic feedback through a user's hands Haptic or kinesthetic communication recreates the sense of touch by applying forces, vibrations, or motions to the user.[1] This mechanical stimulation can be used to assist in the creation of virtual objects in a computer simulation, to control such virtual objects, and to enhance the remote control of machines and devices (telerobotics).

Haptic technology - Wikipedia

Haptic devices may incorporate tactile sensors that measure forces exerted by the user on the interface. Most researchers distinguish three sensory systems related to sense of touch in humans: cutaneous, kinesthetic and haptic.[2][3] All perceptions mediated by cutaneous and/or kinesthetic sensibility are referred to as tactual perception.

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.

But on April 11 French artist JR threw up a new stunning piece right in the heart of Manhattan in broad daylight. His handiwork was removed within 24 hours, which means like many of the magical moments that happen in New York City, you probably missed it. But hey, that’s okay—you can relive it in virtual reality. Here Be Dragons » Vrse.tools. In order to bring virtual realities to life, Vrse’s creators and producers needed tools that, quite frankly, didn’t exist: systems that could capture 360º spherical environments in 3D, paired with sound capabilities that further immersed the viewer in a moment.

So necessity bred invention. Vrse.tools was conceived as a problem-solving wing, a collection of analytical minds that could design and create equipment for the virtual world. Proprietary technology such as 360º camera rigs and directional sound apparatuses were tailored specifically for the creators’ needs. Vrse.tools knows that there is no “one size fits all,” which is why VR technology is constantly being refined. But Vrse.tools’ work goes beyond the physical realm of mechanics. Virtual Reality - Virtual Reality. VR / AR / AI. 11.02.16 – History of Virtual Reality – Thea Chetcuti. Before we delved into the history of VR, we were introduced to some terms which we will be encountering very often throughout this module.

11.02.16 – History of Virtual Reality – Thea Chetcuti

VR – Virtual Reality A term that describes it as a means of creating the illusion that we are somewhere we are not. AR – Augmented Reality ‘Augmenting’ reality through a technology based filter (eg: Google Glass). VS – Virtual Space The simulated space within a virtual application (eg: the internet). The Beginning Virtual reality precedes the time of its actual conception.
