The Sensorama in 1957 Morton Heilig invent device that interact with the users , that was the early form of virtual reality ,The viewer would sit on a rotating chair which enabled them to face screen and interact with that system “Sensorama” . History head mounted display In 1968 Ivan Sutherland created the Ultimate Display: a head mounted display (HMD) attached to a computer which enabled the wearer to see a virtual world 5

- 7. Early artistic examplesof virtual reality 7 Virtual reality in the 1990’s Virtual reality continued to be popular throughout the 1990’s but the hype surrounding this technology had an adverse effect and led to a decrease in its popularity. Many people felt that virtual reality had not delivered on its early promises and as a result, they started to lose interest.
- 8. Virtual reality andthe present day 8 Researchers, technologists and anyone else working in the field of virtual reality is all too aware of the dangers of hype and as a result, have tended to downplay its capabilities. They often avoid the term ‘virtual reality’ in preference to ‘virtual environment’ .
- 9. Who Invented VirtualReality? • Morton Heilig produced the first interactive film experience in which viewers were invited to watch a film which would use all of their senses. This multi-sensory experience enable the viewer to become part of the film. For example: he used an oscillating fan so that the viewer could feel wind blowing on their face. 9
- 10. Who Coined theTerm “Virtual Reality”? The term ‘virtual reality’ was coined by Jaron Lanier in 1987, he had set up VPL Research - a company which pioneered research into virtual reality and 3D graphics which also sold the first virtual reality tools such as virtual reality glasses , data gloves and later, the full data suit. VPL Research patents were later acquired by Sun Microsystems in 1999. Virtual reality became very popular around this time – especially in the 1990’s, but this soon dropped off due to a yawning gap between public expectations and technological limitations 10

- 12. VR Apps inMedicine VR applications in Medicine Medicine is one of the biggest beneficiaries with the development of surgery simulation. This is often used as a training aid and enables the surgeon to perform an operation on a ‘virtual patient’ or to see inside the human body. It is also used as a diagnostic tool in that it provides a more detail view of the human body compared to X-rays and scans 12
- 13. VR Apps inMedicine Medicine − Practice performing surgery. − Perform surgery on a remote patient. − Teach new skills in a safe, controlled environment. 13
- 14. Virtual Reality inthe Military Virtual Reality in the Military Virtual reality has been adopted by the military – this includes all three services (army, navy and air force) – where it is used for training purposes. This is particularly useful for training soldiers for combat situations or other dangerous settings where they have to learn how to react in an appropriate manner. A virtual reality simulation enables them to do so but without the risk of death or a serious injury. They can re-enact a particular scenario, for example engagement with an enemy in an environment in which they experience this but without the real world risks. This has proven to be safer and less costly than traditional training methods. 14

- 18. How Does VirtualReality Affect Us? Physical effects of virtual reality One of the main problems with virtual reality is motion sickness. It is not unknown for people to suffer from nausea after spending a period of time in a virtual environment which is due to the effects the shift in perception has on balance. Our balance is affected by changes in the inner ear which results in feelings of nausea often experienced by people when travelling on a ship or some other form of transport. Some people are affected by this after spending only 30 minutes in a virtual environment whereas others can go several hours before they notice any ill effects. Another name for this sensation is ‘cybersickness’. Time constraints Another problem with virtual reality is time: it takes a long period of time to develop a virtual environment which may not be good news for any commercial enterprise wishing to invest in this technology. Time is money in the business world 18

A potential situation is one in which several people are immersed within a virtual environment but one of these participants becomes injured or traumatized due to the actions of another person in that situation. 19
