History Of Virtual Reality Virtual Reality Society. Virtual reality has beginnings that preceded the time that the concept was coined and formalised. In this detailed history of virtual reality we look at how technology has evolved and how key pioneers have paved the path for virtual reality as we know it today. Early attempts at virtual reality. Panoramic paintings. If we focus more strictly on the scope of virtual reality as a means of creating the illusion that we are present somewhere we are not, then the earliest attempt at virtual reality is surely the 3. These paintings were intended to fill the viewers entire field of vision, making them feel present at some historical event or scene. Battle of Borodino, 1. Stereoscopic photos viewers. In 1. 83. 8 Charles Wheatstones research demonstrated that the brain processes the different two dimensional images from each eye into a single object of three dimensions. Viewing two side by side stereoscopic images or photos through a stereoscope gave the user a sense of depth and immersion.

The design principles of the Stereoscope is used today for the popular Google Cardboard and low budget VR head mounted displays for mobile phones. The stereoscope Charles Wheatstone1. The lenticular stereoscope David Brewster1. Its still early days for VR, and 2016 can be seen as the markets year zero. A wide variety of VR headsets went on sale last year after much hype, speculation. The future of virtual reality includes head, eye and expression tracking, simulated touch, and much more. These amazing technologies will be available to you in 5. Virtual reality VR is a computer technology that uses virtual reality headsets or multiprojected environments, sometimes in combination with physical environments. A Racket Sports Set designed to be compatible with HTC Vives Tracker, the modular positionallytracked puck that you can use. Experience an augmented reality where the universe expands and fantasy worlds spring to life. With virtual reality and mixed reality systems from Microsoft Store.

The View Master William GruberOver time mankind has been slowly but surely creating ever richer ways to stimulate our senses. Things really began to take off in the 2. Link Trainer The First Flight Simulator. In 1. 92. 9 Edward Link created the Link trainer patented 1. It was controlled by motors that linked to the rudder and steering column to modify the pitch and roll. A small motor driven device mimicked turbulence and disturbances. Such was the need for safer ways to train pilots that the US military bought six of these devices for 3. In 2. 01. 5 money this was just shy of 5. During World War II over 1.

Weinbaum Pygmalions Spectacles contains the idea of a pair of goggles that let the wearer experience a fictional world through holographics, smell, taste and touch. In hindsight the experience Weinbaum describes for those wearing the goggles are uncannily like the modern and emerging experience of virtual reality, making him a true visionary of the field.

D display, fans, smell generators and a vibrating chair. The Sensorama was intended to fully immerse the individual in the film. He also created six short films for his invention all of which he shot, produced and edited himself. The Sensorama films were titled, Motorcycle, Belly Dancer, Dune Buggy, helicopter, A date with Sabina and Im a coca cola bottle Image source mortonheilig. The video below is an interview with Morton about the Sensorama. The first VR Head Mounted Display. Morton Heiligs next invention was the Telesphere Mask patented 1. HMD, albeit for the non interactive film medium without any motion tracking. The headset provided stereoscopic 3. D and wide vision with stereo sound. Headsight First motion tracking HMDIn 1. Philco Corporation engineers Comeau Bryan developed the first precursor to the HMD as we know it today the Headsight. It incorporated a video screen for each eye and a magnetic motion tracking system, which was linked to a closed circuit camera. The Headsight was not actually developed for virtual reality applications the term didnt exist then, but to allow for immersive remote viewing of dangerous situations by the military. Head movements would move a remote camera, allowing the user to naturally look around the environment. Headsight was the first step in the evolution of the VR head mounted display but it lacked the integration of computer and image generation. The Ultimate display by Ivan Sutherland. Ivan Sutherland described the Ultimate Display concept that could simulate reality to the point where one could not tell the difference from actual reality. His concept included A virtual world viewed through a HMD and appeared realistic through augmented 3. D sound and tactile feedback. Computer hardware to create the virtual word and maintain it in real time. The ability users to interact with objects in the virtual world in a realistic wayThe ultimate display would, of course, be a room within which the computer can control the existence of matter. A chair displayed in such a room would be good enough to sit in. Handcuffs displayed in such a room would be confining, and a bullet displayed in such a room would be fatal. With appropriate programming such a display could literally be the Wonderland into which Alice walked. Ivan Sutherland. This paper would become a core blueprint for the concepts that encompass virtual reality today. Sword of Damocles. In 1. 96. 8 Ivan Sutherland and his student Bob Sproull created the first VR AR head mounted display Sword of Damocles that was connected to a computer and not a camera. It was a large and scary looking contraption that was too heavy for any user to comfortably wear and was suspended from the ceiling hence its name. The user would also need to be strapped into the device. The computer generated graphics were very primitive wireframe rooms and objects. Artificial Reality. In 1. 96. 9 Myron Kruegere a virtual reality computer artist developed a series of experiences which he termed artificial reality in which he developed computer generated environments that responded to the people in it. The projects named GLOWFLOW, METAPLAY, and PSYCHIC SPACE were progressions in his research which ultimately let to the development of VIDEOPLACE technology. This technology enabled people to communicate with each other in a responsive computer generated environment despite being miles apart. Virtual reality the name was born. Even after all of this development in virtual reality, there still wasnt an all encompassing term to describe the field. This all changed in 1. Jaron Lanier, founder of the visual programming lab VPL, coined or according to some popularised the term virtual reality. The research area now had a name. Groove Agent 3 With Crack'>Groove Agent 3 With Crack. Through his company VPL research Jaron developed a range of virtual reality gear including the Dataglove along with Tom Zimmerman and the Eye. Phone head mounted display. They were the first company to sell Virtual Reality goggles Eye. Phone 1 9. 40. 0 Eye. Phone HRX 4. 9,0. A major development in the area of virtual reality haptics. Virtuality Group Arcade Machines. We began to see virtual reality devices to which the public had access, although household ownership of cutting edge virtual reality was still far out of reach. The Virtuality Group launched a range of arcade games and machines. Players would wear a set of VR goggles and play on gaming machines with realtime less than 5. D visuals. Some units were also networked together for a multi player gaming experience. The Lawnmower Man. The Lawnmower Man movie introduced the concept of virtual reality to a wider audience. It was in part based on the founder of Virtual Reality Jaron Lanier and his early laboratory days. Nlite Portable. Jaron was played by Pierce Brosnan, a scientist who used virtual reality therapy on a mentally disabled patient.
