VIRTUAL REALITY HEADSETS

PAST, PRESENT & FUTURE

VIRTUAL ENVIRONMENTS
BOEING 787 FLIGHT SIMULATOR FROM ALTEON MOLECULAR SIMULATION AT ARGONNE NATIONAL LABORATORY

BEGINNING WITH FLIGHT SIMULATORS,

ADVANCING THROUGH SCIENTIFIC
APPLICATIONS, AND INTO THE
ENTERTAINMENT ARENA, VIRTUAL
ENVIRONMENTS HAVE BEEN
DEVELOPED TO PROVIDE AN
IMMERSIVE SIMULATED EXPERIENCE
WITHOUT THE EXPENSE AND RISK MATTEL POWER GLOVE, VECTREX 3D IMAGER,
ASSOCIATED WITH THE REAL THING. AND NINTENDO VIRTUAL BOY

DIGITAL 3D ADVANCES IN DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY AND STEREOSCOPY HAVE ENABLED FILMMAKERS TO
AFFORDABLY PRODUCE 3D FILMS AND THEATRE OWNERS TO AFFORDABLY SHOW THEM.

A 3D DIGITAL CAMERA RECORDS VIDEO, CIRCULARLY ...WHILE RECORDING THE LEFT VIEWPOINT USING
POLARIZING THE RIGHT VIEWPOINT USING RIGHT- LEFT-HANDED CIRCULAR POLARIZATION.
HANDED POLARIZATION...

BOTH IMAGES ARE PROJECTED SIMULTANEOUSLY ONTO THE THE MOVIEGOER WEARS POLARIZED GLASSES THAT ONLY ALLOW THE
THEATRE SCREEN, IN A MANNER THAT GUARANTEES THAT RIGHT-HANDED POLARIZED IMAGES TO PASS THROUGH THE RIGHT LENS
THE VIEWPOINTS ARE SYNCHRONIZED. AND THE LEFT-HANDED POLARIZED IMAGES TO PASS THROUGH THE LEFT
LENS.

VERGENCE VS. ACCOMMODATION
PROJECTING A 3D IMAGE ONTO A 2D SCREEN OR TELEVISION DISPLAY TENDS TO PLAY TRICKS WITH ONES VISUAL PERCEPTION.

IN THE REAL WORLD, WHEN A PERSON TRIES TO FOCUS

ON A DISTANT OBJECT, THE EYES EXPERIENCE VERGENCE,
WHERE THEY BOTH ROTATE ON THEIR OWN VERTICAL
AXES UNTIL THEY BOTH POINT AT THE OBJECT.

MEANWHILE, THE EYES EXPERIENCE

ACCOMMODATION, WHERE THEY REFLEXIVELY FOCUS
ON THE OBJECT IN ITS DISTANT POSITION, CAUSING
NEARBY OBJECTS TO GO OUT OF FOCUS.
WITH 3D IMAGES, HOWEVER, THE EYES ROTATE SO
THEY ARE POINTED TO WHERE THE OBJECT SEEMS
TO BE, BUT THE REFLEXIVE FOCUS MUST ADJUST TO
THE SCREENS ACTUAL LOCATION, ELIMINATING THE THIS RESULTS IN SERIOUS
NATURAL BLURRING OF NEARBY OBJECTS. EYESTRAIN AND HEADACHES FOR
MANY 3D AUDIENCE MEMBERS.

SIMULATOR SICKNESS
SIMILAR PROBLEMS TEND TO OCCUR WITH RAPID CHANGES
IN ACCELERATION AND RAPID SHIFTS IN PERSPECTIVE.
EFFORTS TO MAKE VR SIMULATIONS
AS REALISTIC AS POSSIBLE
FREQUENTLY HAVE UNPLEASANT
SIDE EFFECTS.
FOR EXAMPLE, PROVIDING A
VISUAL HEADBOB (LIKE THE ONE
ILLUSTRATED AT RIGHT), WITHOUT
AN ACCOMPANYING PHYSICAL
MOTION, CAN RESULT IN MOTION
SICKNESS AND NAUSEA.

BALANCE & THE INNER EAR
WHEN THE EYES SEND THE BRAIN A DIFFERENT MESSAGE REGARDING THE BODYS
THE SEMICIRCULAR CANALS
MOVEMENTS, THE BRAIN MAY REACT ADVERSELY, CAUSING A LOSS OF BALANCE.
WITHIN THE INNER EAR
CONTAIN HAIR CELLS THAT
REACT TO BODY MOVEMENTS.
THESE REACTIONS ARE
TRANSMITTED BY MEANS OF THE
VESTIBULAR NERVE TO THE
BRAIN, WHICH SUBCONSCIOUSLY
SENDS MESSAGES TO THE
BODYS TRUNK AND LIMBS TO
MAINTAIN BALANCE.

VR LATENCY
LATENCY IS PARTICULARLY PROBLEMATIC IN AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATIONS,
WHEN THE VR SYSTEMS WHERE VIRTUAL OBJECTS ARE OVERLAID ON THE USERS REAL WORLD SETTING,
PROCESSING TIME IS EXCESSIVE, SINCE THE VIRTUAL AND THE REAL SHOULD OSTENSIBLY BE INTERACTING.
ITS REACTIONS TO THE USERS
ACTIONS WILL LAG BEHIND,
WHICH DESTROYS THE
ILLUSION OF IMMERSION WHEN
IT BECOMES NOTICEABLE TO
THE USER.
