Chapter 14 Virtual reality 14.1 An Introduction to and history of Virtual reality To increaseimage quality, Fakespacel4l invented the bOom (Binocular Omni-Orientation Monitor). Very small monitors are mounted on a mechanical arm. and users look into the monitors like they would lookinto a pair of binoculars. Tracking occurs when the user moves the arm, which changes the perspective. When a user releases the BoOM, another person can look at the same thing from the same perspective, which is an advantage over HMDs. Since real monitors are used. the resolution is good 为了提高图景的质量, Fakespace发明了BoOM(双目全方位监视 器)。机械臂上固定着非常小的监视器,就象使用双目望远镜一样 用户使用监视器观察。用户移动机械臂时改变了视角,因此实现了追 踪。当一个用户不用这个BOOM后,另一个用户可以从相同的视角 观察到相同的事物,这一点BOOM要优于HMD。因为使用了真正的 监视器,所以分辨率很好。 《什第机专出美语 14-7Chapter 14 Virtual Reality 计算机专业英语 14-7 To increase image quality, Fakespace[4] invented the BOOM (Binocular Omni-Orientation Monitor).Very small monitors are mounted on a mechanical arm, and users look into the monitors like they would look into a pair of binoculars.
