Abstract
Virtual reality (VR) applications raise enormous interest
inside and outside computer science. Unfortunately, VR
systems are rather complex, involving many software and
hardware modules being integrated. Theoretical papers are
not always of much aid in the actual implementation of VR
applications. We try to fill this gap with a case study on
a simple example VR system, that is used to demonstrate
the most important aspects of a VR implementation, including
application design, implementation strategy, selection of
hardware and software, rendering, tracking and display
technology. Special attention is paid to practical issues
that are usually only learned by experience, and on the
discussion of devices and methods that are inexpensive and
readily available.
