defining virtual reality using psychological concepts
Virtual reality is a computer-generated object, objects, or complete setting with which several people interact as if it were real. One can seek to make this definition more concrete by indicating the base-line technical specifications demanded for one to computer interaction to meet the qualifications of Virtual Reality. One can outline range of sight, amount of resolution of the visual display, and the range of human hand, head, and body movement to which the computer reacts. However, these technical parameters will change with additional improvements in computer power and new equipment for human to computer interaction. For these reasons, a perception-based definition built on enough engagement of human cognition provides a more stable definition of Virtual Reality. Linked page DX Studio also has information regarding this VR topic.
In order be truly multi-dimensional, the camera component of a Virtual Reality system should instill the sense of depth and three-dimensionality. One way to make depth sensation is achieved using the geometry of an object's outline. An object's outer edges create its outline. When an object's outline covers a second object, then it is seen as closer than the second object. In like manner, if the outline is bigger than that of another object thought to be of similar actual size, then it is seen as nearer than the second object. Lastly, when an object moves a greater distance in reaction to head movement than other elements or the background setting, then it is perceived as nearer.
