Chapter 59 Title: Virtual Reality and Computer Simulation Quote: “Virtual things and processes are simulations of real things…” Expectations: I expect to learn more about the virtual reality and computer simulation and its differences. Book Review: There are different backgrounds of technology and this chapter also discussed about its applications. Virtual reality or VR technology simulated three-dimensional or so called 3D in our generation. It displayed like a reality and surrounds a stereoscopic vision on the display. Another one is computer simulation; it is a computer program that contains a model of a particular system. Computer applications are used to simulate both real and imaginary environments like arts and entertainment in performing in virtual reality. It is used in the natural and social sciences to gain insight into the functioning of natural and social systems. The distinction between the virtual and the real is also discussed in this chapter. This popular conception of the contrasting definition of virtuality and reality can be demonstrated incorrectly. Things I have learned: I have learned many things in computer applications, simulation and the differences between virtual and reality. Integrity Questions: 1. Who is Philip Brey?
2. What are the differences between virtual and reality? 3. What is 3D? 4. What is computer simulation? 5. What are the different kinds of application in the computer?
