Virtual Reality and Visualization

Abstract

Since the word "Virtual Reality" was invented in 1989, quality of the technology has been improved more and more. Especially, development of IPT (Immersive Projection Technology) largely contributed to generate highly defined virtual world, and to give VR technology lots of 'serious applications'. Doubtlessly, visualization is one of the most promising applications. In this paper, several recent topics of VR technology such as virtual archeology and multi-sensory info-communication technology are introduced in terms of visualization technology.
