Write a composition about the advantages and disadvantages of a virtual university.Characteristics of Immersive VRThe unique characteristics of immersive virtual reality can be summarized as follows:
Head-referenced viewing provides a natural interface for the navigation in three-dimensional space and allows for look-around, walk-around, and fly-through capabilities in virtual environments.
The virtual world is presented in full scale and relates properly to the human size.
Realistic interactions with virtual objects via data glove and similar devices allow for manipulation, operation, and control of virtual worlds.
Stereoscopic viewing enhances the perception of depth and the sense of space.The convincing illusion of being fully immersed in an artificial world can be enhanced by auditory, haptic, and other non-visual technologies.
Networked applications allow for shared virtual environments .
