  2. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    The magnification of the virtual image formed by the plane mirror is 1. Top: The formation of a virtual image using a diverging lens. Bottom: The formation of a virtual image using a convex mirror. In both diagrams, f is the focal point, O is the object, and I is the virtual image, shown in grey. Solid blue lines indicate (real) light rays and ...

  3. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    Examples of real images include the image produced on a detector in the rear of a camera, and the image produced on an eyeball retina (the camera and eye focus light through an internal convex lens). In ray diagrams (such as the images on the right), real rays of light are always represented by full, solid lines; perceived or extrapolated rays ...

  4. Plane mirror - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plane_mirror

    The image formed by a plane mirror is virtual (meaning that the light rays do not actually come from the image) it is not real image (meaning that the light rays do actually come from the image). it is always upright, and of the same shape and size as the object it is reflecting. A virtual image is a copy of an object formed at the location ...

  5. Reality–virtuality continuum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality–virtuality_continuum

    The virtuality continuum is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a virtuality, and the completely real, reality. The reality–virtuality continuum therefore encompasses all possible variations and compositions of real and virtual objects. It has been described as a concept in new media and computer science. The concept ...

  6. Mirror image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mirror_image

    In geometry, the mirror image of an object or two-dimensional figure is the virtual image formed by reflection in a plane mirror; it is of the same size as the original object, yet different, unless the object or figure has reflection symmetry (also known as a P-symmetry).

  7. Visualization (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Visualization_(graphics)

    For example, visualization of a 3D scalar field may be implemented using iso-surfaces for field distribution and textures for the gradient of the field. [10] Examples of such visual formats are sketches, diagrams, images, objects, interactive visualizations, information visualization applications, and imaginary visualizations as in stories.

  8. Ray tracing (graphics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ray_tracing_(graphics)

    Optical ray tracing describes a method for producing visual images constructed in 3-D computer graphics environments, with more photorealism than either ray casting or scanline rendering techniques. It works by tracing a path from an imaginary eye through each pixel in a virtual screen, and calculating the color of the object visible through it.

  9. Augmented reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

    Examples include a virtual X-ray view based on prior tomography or on real-time images from ultrasound and confocal microscopy probes, [230] visualizing the position of a tumor in the video of an endoscope, [231] or radiation exposure risks from X-ray imaging devices. [232] [233] AR can enhance viewing a fetus inside a mother's womb. [234]
