  • In a virtual reality environment, a user experiences immersion, or the feeling of being inside and a part of that world. He is also able to interact with his environment in meaningful ways. The combination of a sense of immersion and interactivity is called telepresence.
  • Depth of information refers to the amount and quality of data in the signals a user receives when interacting in a virtual environment.
  • Systems that give a user force feedback and touch interaction are called haptic systems.

    This article discusses and clarifies the ideas of virtual realities. This site also provides a very helpful video on the first page, called "The Internet of Things". The video gives great visuals and examples to help solidify the concepts surrounding virtual realities. Very interesting, hope you like it!

    Although this link is a very short paragraph, it is still very important and clear when defining augmented reality.  This link gives an easy to understand definition of the term, and very interesting things to think about once you are done reading.  At the bottom of the article there are also many other links related to augmented reality, and the new things happening around the creation.

    An interesting article about how people who are in real life, serious situations, take photos and tweet them or Instagram them and they spread across the internet showing the truth about events occurring. The article discusses how social media brings us closer to international events/issues/problems and how social media spreads truth to the false news articles or censorship that often happens.
