Josh Krohn you know that VR is not about scanning, but viewing, right? btw, that kind of scanning is far from reallity... and even if it would exist, the doctor doesnt have to be INSIDE of the patient to discover whats wrong with him, he can just as well (and probably even better) view it on a display.

Josh Krohn I agree with everything that you said. Except witchcraft is very real. But yea, I know you were just making a reference to witch hunts.

nemanja milosevic You can measure points in those scans more accurately, faster, and easier, and you can identify, isolate, and extract features of interest much better, in the process increasing the data return from your raw scans by large factors (an order of magnitude is not uncommon). You can also do virtual fieldwork, because you're located in a virtual representation of a real 3D environment, instead of looking at pictures of a 3D environment. There is a fundamental difference how one's brain reacts to either of those media.

MAGonzzManifesto The KeckCAVES project is part of the Department of Earth and Physical Sciences (formerly Geology). Software and method development is done by computer scientists, of course, but there is no formal course in VR in the computer science or computer engineering departments. Unfortunately.

***** There are CAVEs, and there are CAVEs that work. You probably saw the former instead of the latter. It's a sad fact that the latter kind are much more common.

no prob :)

nice try troll Every song in the world that people do not know the name to "What is that song?" "Darude - Sandstorm"

Ty Kara You win biggest douche on the internet congrats

Ty Kara Your parents must be so proud

For Science!

okreylos well no it is for cooking -_-

ja, denke auch :) Er hat ja nen Akzent und an einer Stelle spricht er ja von der Videotelefonie von den USA nach Deutschland :) und der Name spricht auch dafür :D

Think deeper and understand that you have to take baby steps before you can leap,into a fully immersive and tether free augmented reality future.

LizardanNet If you asked the scientists who couldn't do their work without VR, they'd probably tell you that VR has been a thing for ten years or so.

LizardanNet Words marked. :) See you in a year or two.

LizardanNet what are you talking about...It's already a thing

Well, it seems you have been incorrect. According to Statistica, the total number of VR users is expected to reach 171 million by the end of the year.

ManuelGarridoPena CAVEs were invented in 1991, so they've been around longer than you think. They're not the long-term future of VR, they're the past and present and immediate future of usable VR until HMDs catch up, which might not take very long. But without CAVEs, there would have been hardly any VR research in the last 20 years.
