Abstract

State of the art review of virtual reality techniques providing a logical progression from the foundation of virtual reality, current virtual reality technologies, and applications areas (medicine, art and entertainment, scientific analysis, business, and telerobotics). Speculates on the future of virtual reality as single area of study versus its fading into the background as specific applications go their own way, and virtual reality technologies become more common
