virtual reality and human vision

Sight is the single critical sense for humansand 3D detail perception is central to vision. Thus, three-dimensional sensation is critical for enveloping Virtual Reality (VR). Our eyes transform light into electrochemical impulses that are conveyed and analyzed through a series of progressively more challenging neural cells. Some cells track basic object and picture elements especially surface features and movement. Higher-order cells combine these image elements and make high-level evaluations about what is being seen. Cues that people use for three-dimensional sensation are built on this analytic structure and can be sorted into three general areas: communication among objects; the geometry of object outlines; and the appearance of object surfaces. Further, TU Vienna Virtual Environments group includes coverage of some of these subjects.

If buyer and seller behavior has been significantly transformed by human interaction with computers just based on screens, keypads and mouse clicks, imagine the transformation that will come from multi-dimensional and engaging virtual trade. Shoppers of the future may use virtual reality to see how clothing "fits" or "appears" on them. Investors in years to come may view multi-dimensional stock and commodity charts. eTrade may be just the beginning of a new era of global virtual trade. Link to Virtual Tours Nevada covers more developments on these topics.
