VR Websites: A Reality?

-
Virtual reality or VR refers to using computer technology for creating a simulated environment. Virtual reality places the user inside experience, and instead of watching on a screen, the users get immersed and can carry out interactions with the 3D world. Through virtual reality, many senses are simulated, including the sense of vision, hearing, touch and even smell. Here, the computer is transformed into a gatekeeper for the artificial world.

Difference Between Virtual and Augmented Reality

The concepts of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) differ on the following three major factors-





Differentiating Factor


Virtual Reality


Augmented Reality




Immersion


In the case of virtual reality, it generates a completely computer-generated world, i.e. everything seen by the user is due to artificial recreation, and the user begins to lose contact with the real environment


Augmented reality enhances the reality by addition of digital information to it, and the user is still in contact with the real environment during the augmented reality experience.

It allows the users to interact with “augmented” set of objects while being in contact with the real world




Devices


Virtual reality uses headsets that immerse into the user’s vision and hearing into the virtual world


Augmented reality can be provided by some devices which include the AR headsets, laptops, ...

By AI Trends Staff     As the  US Navy  strives to get to a 355-ship fleet by 2034, part of a 30-year plan the Navy outlined in 2019, it is finding it economical to use underwater autonomous vehicles. They meet many of the requirements of larger submarines at a fraction of the cost.     For example, the Navy awarded Boeing a $43-million contract to build four Orca Extra Large Unmanned Undersea Vehicles (XLUUVs) last year, described in a release from  USNI News .      Boeing based its winning Orca XLUUV design on its Echo Voyager unmanned diesel-electric submersible. The 51-foot-long submersible is launched from a pier and can operate autonomously while sailing up to 6,500 nautical miles without being connected to a manned mother ship, according to the Navy.   In military spending terms, the versatility of the Orca at the price is “fairly unheard of in military spending,” according to an account in  The National Interest . ...

Canada regulator seeks information from public on Rogers-Shaw deal

(Reuters) - A Canadian regulator on Tuesday asked for information from the public on telecom company Rogers Communications Inc's planned C$20 billion ($16 billion) purchase of Shaw Communications Inc to check for competition concerns. The deal announced in March to create Canada's second-largest cellular and cable operator has attracted regulatory scrutiny. The Competition Bureau said in August it obtained court orders to advance its review. The regulator on Tuesday asked market participants and Canadians to come forth with information that could assist the regulator's probe on whether the deal will reduce or prevent competition. The Competition Bureau said its review was ongoing and no conclusions have been made. ... Read More on Datafloq
