The project was done in order to enable an automatic data capture by the integration of these different types of information. Afterwards virtual reality city models are generated in the project by texture processing, e.g. by mapping of terrestrial images. The project demonstrated the feasibility of rapid acquisition of 3D urban GIS.
Projection mapping, similar to video mapping and spatial augmented reality, is a projection technique [1] [2] used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into display surfaces for video projection. The objects may be complex industrial landscapes, such as buildings, small indoor objects, or theatrical stages.
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.
Reality Labs, formerly Oculus VR, is a business and research unit of Meta Platforms (formerly Facebook Inc.) that produces virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) hardware and software, including virtual reality headsets such as the Quest, and online platforms such as Horizon Worlds.
Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term to refer to augmented reality (AR), mixed reality (MR), and virtual reality (VR). The technology is intended to combine or mirror the physical world with a "digital twin world" able to interact with it, [1] [2] giving users an immersive experience by being in a virtual or augmented environment.
Immersive virtual reality is a hypothetical future technology that exists today as virtual reality art projects, for the most part. [36] It consists of immersion in an artificial environment where the user feels just as immersed as they usually feel in everyday life .
The name is also a reference to the allegory of the Cave in Plato's Republic in which a philosopher contemplates perception, reality, and illusion. The CAVE was invented by Carolina Cruz-Neira , Daniel J. Sandin , and Thomas A. DeFanti at the University of Illinois, Chicago Electronic Visualization Laboratory in 1992. [ 1 ]
