  2. Real image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_image

    A real image is the collection of focus points actually made by converging/diverging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by extensions of diverging or converging rays. In other words, a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object.

  3. Virtual image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_image

    A real image is the collection of focus points made by converging rays, while a virtual image is the collection of focus points made by backward extensions of diverging rays. In other words, a virtual image is found by tracing real rays that emerge from an optical device (lens, mirror, or some combination) backward to perceived or apparent ...

  4. Virtual photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_photography

    For the most part, virtual photographers share the same motivations as "real life" photographers, including a desire to capture visually interesting images, preserve memories, and demonstrating technical expertise. [2] One of the earliest known works of virtual photography was Thirteen Most Beautiful Avatars by Eva and Franco Mattes.

  5. Virtual reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality

    In projector-based virtual reality, modeling of the real environment plays a vital role in various virtual reality applications, including robot navigation, construction modeling, and airplane simulation. Image-based virtual reality systems have been gaining popularity in computer graphics and computer vision communities. In generating ...

  6. Augmented reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

    AR can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects. [2] The overlaid sensory information can be constructive (i.e. additive to the natural environment), or destructive (i.e. masking of the natural ...

  7. Digital imaging - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_imaging

    In the early 1960s, while developing compact, lightweight, portable equipment for the onboard nondestructive testing of naval aircraft, Frederick G. Weighart [5] and James F. McNulty (U.S. radio engineer) [6] at Automation Industries, Inc., then, in El Segundo, California co-invented the first apparatus to generate a digital image in real-time ...

  8. Reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reality

    Virtual reality (VR) is a computer-simulated environment that can simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds. Reality-virtuality continuum The virtuality continuum is a continuous scale ranging between the completely virtual, a virtuality, and the completely real: reality.

  9. 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 ...
