Characteristics of Immersive VR
The unique characteristics of immersive virtual reality can be
summarized as follows:
Head-referenced viewing provides a natural interface for the navigation in
three-dimensional space and allows for look-around, walk-around, and flythrough capabilities in virtual environments.
Stereoscopic viewing enhances the perception of depth and the sense of
space.
The virtual world is presented in full scale and relates properly to the
human size.
Realistic interactions with virtual objects via data glove and similar
devices allow for manipulation, operation, and control of virtual worlds.
The convincing illusion of being fully immersed in an artificial world can be
enhanced by auditory, haptic, and other non-visual technologies.
Networked applications allow for shared virtual environments
