Immersive Environments
We have tended to see VR in three generic categories Individual Immersive Environments Group Immersive Environments Augmented Reality

Immersive Methods
Our system originally consisted of Virtual Research Head Mounted Displays (HMD), Flock of Birds Tracking Unit, and a SGI Crimson VGXT. This was eventually replaced with a Onyx RE2 and later with a SGI Onyx II with infinite reality engine.

PlatoCAVE
The PlatoCAVE is an example of an augmented reality environment. We say “augmented reality” because the shutter glasses are transparent when being used. So not only is the wearer able to see the computer generated images in stereoscopic 3-D, but also the real environment including others in the PlatoCAVE and also his or her own body. This is generally not possible with HMDs.

Design Considerations Angular Parallax
Large parallax impedes stereo fusion Synchronization of Focus and
Parallax Placement Behind Screen Improves
Both Issues

Design Considerations
Head Tracking 6 degrees of freedom for HMD 3 degrees of freedom for Projection
Systems Optimal for one viewer only
Distortion and Latency Not good for group interaction
Compromise Select one nominal viewpoint
