Virtual reality : a real world technology with real world applications : honor's thesis (HONRS 499)

Abstract

This research paper delves into a very current computer technology, VIRTUAL REALITY. This thesis will be divided into three parts. First will be an in-depth explanation of what virtual reality really is; the next step will show how virtual reality really works; and the last part will show how people are utilizing this technology (as well as how they will be using it in the future).I wish to thank my advisor, Dr. Tom Harris for offering me guidance throughout my junior and senior years at Ball State. He first sparked my interest in virtual reality and without him, this paper would not have been possible.
