Virtual Reality Maps

There can be two types of Virtual Reality Maps ("VR Maps"). The first kind of VR maps are three-dimensional virtual maps of actual places in the real world. The second kind of VR maps are maps of simulated places within computer-generated virtual reality environments. Virtual map making and also the field of virtual topography have three-dimensional virtual maps with engaging topographic lines or colors indicating different structural or landscape features. Virtual map making is helpful for construction, landscaping, mineral extraction and energy exploration, and real property applications. virtual reality and texture mapping also covers similar VR topics.

"Mixed Reality" is a world inside which both virtual and real objects come in contact and both are important. As an example, when a picture of a participating human's head or hand appears three-dimensionally on a monitor and interacts with computer-constructed icons, this is mixed reality. See use of lighting in three-dimensional rendering for more VR-related material.

Besides its use in navigation of jet craft and ships, Virtual Reality has numerous possible military applications including telerobotics for surveillance or (some day) active battle in hazardous areas. VR-based simulations are also helpful for combat training and anti-terrorism scenarios. real world behavior for virtual objects deals with these issues as well.

Virtually-enabled telerobotics is used in to enable people to do work in hazardous environments especially: outer space; toxic waste zones; combat zones; oil fields; and the ocean depths. Virtually-enabled automation can also help in large-scale activities (such as mining, landscaping, and architecture) and tiny-scale activities (such as microsurgery, nanomanfacturing, genetic applied science and virtual biology). Virbots are used for cyberspace applications. Technical discussion of similar VR topics at spanning distances with telepresence .
