In this article, we are going to review a brief history of the field of Virtual Reality (VR), VR systems, and applications and discuss how they evolved. After that, we will familiarize ourselves with the essential components of VR experiences and common VR terminology. Finally, we discuss the evolution of ubiquitous VR as a subfield of VR and its c...

... system generated binocular imagery that was rendered appropriately for the position and orientation of the moving head. As shown in Figure [1], the display was suspended from a counterbalanced robotic arm and ultrasonic transducers were used to track the natural movement of the head. This was the first time in the history of computer graphics that people could see into a computer generated virtual world. ...
