Definition

What is virtual reality(VR)?

A computer generated, immersive(or wide field),multi-sensory informationprogram which tracks a user in realtime.

Page 5: VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC

Virtual Environment (VE)

A computer generated world with which the user can interact

Interaction can vary from looking around to interactively modifying the world.

What is Immersive VR?

A type of VR in which the user becomes immersed (deeply involved) in a virtual world. it is also a form of VR that uses computer related components.

Types of Non-immersive VR

Text-based VR: when a reader of a certain text form a mental model of this virtual world in their head from the description of people , places and things.

Augmented VR: the idea of taking what is real and adding to it in some way so that user obtains more information from their environment.

Architecture

An area in which virtual reality has tremendous potential is in architectural design. Already being created are architectural "walk-throughs" that allow designers and clients to examine homes and office buildings, inside and out, before they're built. With virtual reality, designers can interactively test a building before construction begins.

Medicineresearchers are using virtual reality

technology to create 3-D ultrasound images to help doctors diagnose and treat congenital heart defects in children.

The medical application of VR was stimulated initially by the need of medical staff to visualise complex medical data, particularly during surgery and for surgery planning, and for medical education and training.

Training

United States: The military used it as flight simulators to train pilots.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) use VR technology to construct a model of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) .in September, 1993, approximately 100 members of the NASA HST flight team received over 200 hours of training using the VR...

Devices

Head Mounted Displays (HMD):

Was the first device providing its wearer with an immersive experience. Evans and Sutherland demonstrated a head-mounted stereo display already in 1965.

Binocular Omni-Orientation Monitor (BOOM)

BOOM is a head coupled stereoscopic display device. Screens and optical system are housed in a box that is attached to a multi-link arm.

Virtual reality Modeling Language (VRML)

Most exciting is the ongoing development of VRML on the World Wide Web. In addition to HTML (Hypertext Markup Language), that has become a standard authoring tool for the creation of home pages, VRML provides three-dimensional worlds with integrated hyperlinks on the Web. Home pages become home spaces.

Job Opportunities

The Swiss Federal Institute of Technology's (EPFL) Computer Graphics Lab has several openings for PhD students and Post Doctoral fellows in the areas of Computer Animation, Virtual Reality, and Computer Vision. Selected candidates will work on one or several of the following topics:

Motion Control of virtual characters (kinematics, dynamics, and capture)

Human body deformations Parametric animation models (e.g. running) from

video analysis Interaction between virtual humans and objects in

the Augmented Reality framework.

Future

In the past, computing power has doubled approximately every 18 months, a trend that is known as Moore’s Law. If this is the case then we should have a computer powerful enough to run immersive VR programs in our own homes by the year 2037.

Virtual education It refers to instruction in a learning environment where teacher and student are separated by time or space or both.

Teacher provides course content through multimedia resources, internet and video conferencing. Students receive and communicate with the teacher via the same technologies.

Characteristics of virtual education Online education using the internet Cyber schools Virtual universities virtual program (Courses)

Page 22: VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC

Instruction modes for virtual education - Are text based using HTML, Power Point or PDF documents

Virtual classroom - Live teacher instruction and feed back online Virtual operating room - A space to learn the basic procedure before real-life one Hypertext courses - structured course materials . Hyperlinks connect text, multi media parts and exercise Video -based courses - Live face to face classroom courses

students watch the video Audio based courses - like video but only the sound track of the lecturer Animated courses - Course material by animation

Page 23: VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC

Cont…. Web- Supported textbook courses – Based on specific text books Peer-to-peer courses – Courses on -demand text

books without a prepared

curriculum new one emerged in

2007. Social networking – Students can address a problem

Teacher will act as guides and resources but it is up to the students to present, discuss etc.

Page 24: VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC

Cont…. Communication and interaction Asynchronous instruction subsequent discussion Content delivered at the students pace Teacher acts as a guide Communication through discussion books and email Students can interact with other students via notes, texts etc. Assignment submission electronically Collaborative communication outside occur through blogs, wikis multimedia tools etc.

Virtual learning environment

Definition: It is an education system based on the web that models conventional real –world education by integrating a set of equivalent virtual concepts for tests, homework, classes classrooms and the like even museums and other external academic resources

Similar terms used Learning management system (LMS) related concepts) Content management system (CMS) (only content) Learning content management system (LCMS) for corporate training overall infrastructure

in a institution Managed learning environment (MLE) Learning support system (LSS) Online learning centre (OLC) Learning platform (LP) Computer –mediated communication (CMC) Online education Library management system (LMS)

(now integrated library system ILS)

Components of VLE

Course syllabus Administrative information about the course Notice board for current information Additional resources e.g. supplementary reading Self assessment Formal assessment Support for communications (e-mail, twitter etc)Access rights for instructors, course staff and

studentsDocumentation and statisticsSubmissions by the students Provision for presentation with hyperlinks

Page 27: VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC VIRTUAL REALITY AND VIRTUAL IN ACADEMIC

Use of VLE by educational institution

Economize on the time of teaching staff and the cost of

instruction Facilitate the presentation of online learning Provide students instruction in a flexible manner Provide instruction to the current generation Facilitate the networking of instruction between campuses and colleges. Provide for the reuse of common material provide automatic integration of the results of

students learning in to campus information system.

Two way audio –visual network Web –based Hypertext ,videos, audios, emails and

video conferencing

Quality –Questions remain about accreditation

and the quality of assessment .

CONCLUSION

Everything is going to be virtual in future . As we have to

live and face the future gain more knowledge on virtual.

In medical Fraternity virtual is replacing diagnostic

procedure, treatment etc. Hence it is high time to

introduce virtual in nursing curriculum .
