Virtual Dating

Although videos are an improvement over the personal ads of yore, they remain two-dimensional and non-interactive. Virtual dating applied virtual reality technology to meeting others in an immersive and interactive virtual environment. Although applied science now enables people to come in contact virtually at a distance, people remain social creatures. They will continue to enjoy gathering in one place for virtainment experiences. Accordingly, there will always be a place for movies, even as they evolve with interactive and 3D features. Virtual reality movies ("virties") will be quite different from the crude 3D movies of the mid-20th century. Virties will feature realistic three-dimensional pictures and audience communication.

The most popular type of sound-based interaction from humans to computers is voice interpretation. Voice recognition applied science has made considerable progress independently of virtual reality. Application of advance voice recognition systems to Virtual Reality significantly improves the breadth and believability of the communication between human and computer.

One method to view different pictures on a distant screen is to have eyes view the screen with different polarized filters. This is the way "3D glasses" work in movies. The interaction of the polarized filters with colors or other characteristics of the picture on the screen changes the pictures, resulting in different perspectives and depth perception, but this method has significant constraints. Another method to present one's eyes with different images is to use "shutter glasses." Shutter glasses alternatively show the picture to one eye and then to the other, in synchronization with pictures from two different perspectives displayed in succession on a single screen. When the alternating pictures are shown in sufficiently rapid order, then the brain integrates the two images into a single three-dimensional picture. Most Head Mounted Displays (head mounted displays) used in Virtual Reality are a form of head device that includes: some version of shutter glasses; a somewhat close high-clarity screen with an image that spans more than one third of the range of sight and moves with head motion; and a specialized mechanism to track motion of one's head. virtual reality and texture mapping has information that may also be of interest.

In order to simulate the sense of touch, Virtual Reality systems must simulate the tactile sensation that virtual objects would have on our movement like they were real. This resistance can be transmitted to one's body though multiple mechanical pistons, inflatable air pockets, or magnetic resistance devices integrated into glove or body tights. Simulation of touch and motion through such machines is known as "haptics." Although kinesthetics applied science currently is less advanced than computer to human communication through vision and audio signals, it will probably become more common as technology progresses.
