Understanding Virtual Reality

What is the main difference between traditional media and virtual reality?

• Traditional media is interactive, while VR is not.

• Traditional media uses 3D images, while VR uses 2D images.

• VR is only used for gaming, while traditional media is for movies.

• VR makes you feel like you're in a different place, unlike traditional media.

How does VR create a sense of depth?

• By using a single camera lens.

• By showing slightly different images to each eye.

• By using only one eye to view images.

• By showing the same image to both eyes.

What is the term used to describe the phenomenon where objects appear to jump when viewed with one eye at a time?

• Parallax

• Shading

• Cyclops vision

• Proprioception

What role do rods and cones play in vision?

• They transmit signals to the optic nerve.

• They convert light energy into electrical signals.

• They focus light onto the retina.

• They are responsible for color vision only.

Where in the brain are the two streams of visual information combined into one image?

• Lateral geniculate nucleus

• Thalamus

• Optic chiasm

• Occipital Lobe

How are VR images captured to mimic human vision?

• Using a single camera lens.

• Using two cameras placed far apart.

• Using two lenses placed at a similar distance as human eyes.

• Using a cyclops camera.

What happens if the VR camera lenses are too close or too far apart?

• The VR experience is enhanced.

• The images become 2D.

• The images become clearer.

• The VR experience falls apart.

What is the purpose of stitching two images together in VR?

• To make the images appear larger.

• To recreate the experience of seeing through two eyes.

• To enhance the color of the images.

• To create a single 2D image.

What additional sense is mentioned as enhancing the VR experience?

• Taste

• Touch

• Smell

• Hearing

What is proprioception?

• The sense of smell in VR.

• The ability to hear spatial sounds.

• The sense of body position in space.

• The ability to see in 3D.
