Virtual Reality goes far beyond wearing a headset and "riding" a roller-coaster. In this book, bestselling author Joshua Eddings takes the reader on a fully illustrated colorful ride through the ever-expanding world of Virtual Reality. How Virtual Reality Works simply and clearly explains everything that VR encompasses. Eddings explores and fully details the VR computer-generated environment of 3D graphics and sound effects that 'replace' the sights, sounds and experiences of the real world.
With plentiful graphics, the reader gains insight to the VR worlds of video conferencing, with virtual meetings in virtual conference rooms; telepresence, which uses video to control vehicles and robotic devices remotely; augmented reality, translating data of physical phenomena beyond our range of sense into virtual overlays of the real world; flight simulation and the military's simulation network; scientific visualization, medicine, education, Battle Tech, and much much more.
