What\u2019s Real About Virtual Reality?<\/strong>

Please print out these articles and bring them with you to class on Tuesday for discussion.\u00a0 Alternatively, you can bring digital version of the reading with you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Discussion:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Post 1:<\/strong>\u00a0The Ultimate Display
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bruce Sterling lists a number of present day technologies which match the concepts which Sutherland was describing.\u00a0 What do you believe was the most influential of these developed technologies?<\/p>\n

What do you think of how Slater ends the article? \u00a0Why do you think Sutherland choose to use such menacing\u00a0imagery?<\/p>\n

Can you name another current technology which which matches Sutherland\u2019s concepts but is not included in Sterling\u2019s listings (and describe it in a few sentences and how it relates)? \u00a0If you can’t, write a paragraph about elaborating on how the technology Sterling points to in his article are still used today.<\/p>\n

Post 2:\u00a0A head-mounted three dimensional display<\/strong><\/strong>
\nWhat technologies strike you as antiquated? \u00a0What technologies do you feel like are still present in today’s world?<\/p>\n

What do you think of the two phenomena described in the results?\u00a0 What could have helped mitigate these effects?<\/p>\n

Finally, select a topic that you find interesting, dubious, confusing or curious and explain why.\u00a0 Write at least a paragraph of explanation and add citations if warranted.<\/p>\n

Post 3:\u00a0What\u2019s Real About Virtual Reality?<\/strong><\/strong>
\nDo the examples of applications VR make sense to you?\u00a0 Describe why or why not.\u00a0 What other industries could you see benefit from this type of technology?<\/p>\n

From the Hot open challenges section, select what challenge you believe has seen the\u00a0most<\/strong>\u00a0progress and which challenge has seen the\u00a0least<\/strong>\u00a0progress in the last decade.\u00a0 Describe why you believe each of these are the case<\/p>\n

What do you think of the breakdown Brooks makes between\u00a0Four technologies are crucial for VR and the Four auxiliary technologies are important, but not nearly so crucial? \u00a0Do you agree with his breakdown? \u00a0What would be another technology that you could add to one of these two lists?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
