Abstract

Virtual Reality (VR) is widely used in training simulators of dangerous or expensive vehicles such as aircraft or heavy mining machinery. The vehicles often have very complicated controls that users need to master before attempting to operate a real world version of the machine. VR allows users to safely train in a simulated environment without the risk of injury or damaging expensive equipment in the field. VR however visually cuts off the user from the real environment, which may obtain obstructions. Users are unable to safely move or gesture while wearing a VR headset. Additionally, users are unable to use standard input devices such as mice and keyboards. By using stencils to cutout sections of the virtual world and insert a live video feed of the real world the user can still see and interact with the physical environment.

Abstract
The virtual worlds are photorealistic, the users have difficulty distinguishing the reality and virtuality. The high degree of realism of artificial virtual worlds results in deep immersion in virtual environments. The users immerse themselves in ...

Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) can be defined by the amount of virtual elements displayed to a human’s senses: VR is completely synthetic and AR is partially synthetic. This paper compares VR and AR systems for variations of three ...
