Virtual reality is a computer interface that enables people to participate in 3-D environments that have been set up from computer-generated environments, digitized images of people and objects, or imported video. Computers are able to generate people interacting in person and then place the images on a computer offering the user to feel as if they are in a different place.
Currently developments in virtual reality focus on entertainment in gaming. To me I find this stuff to be really interesting. Being the youngest of three brothers I have seen a lot of military application type games over the years. In the new VR technology it appears on the screen like we are actually playing it ourselves or in the game.
The human factors of VR refer to human performance, behavior, and desire that must be applied when designing an information system. When making these new VR’s , we know from experimentation in psychology, sensation, perception, and experience are some of the related issues. Some of the normative factors include cultural variation in communication expectation, performance or norms, and ethical considerations. Among other factors listed are expressive, instrumental and cognitive interfaces.
