Description
Excerpted from the website:
- VirtualGamersOnline.com is a development phase website that is intended to provide online news, services, and connectivity for virtual reality gamers. Some technologies used in VR mediums to track human movement for information transmission from humans to computers include: multi-axis computer mice and joysticks; wired gloves with mechanical, magnetic, ultrasound or optical sensors that record finger, wrist, and hand position and motion; gesture recognition systems that recognize hand configurations and facial expressions using optical or mechanical sensors; Head Mounted Displays (head mounted displays) wherein movement is registered through mechanical, magnetic, ultrasound or optical sensing devices; electronically-wired clothing with multiple data transmitters and/or mechanical, magnetic, ultrasonic or optical position sensors; and omni directional treadmills. These technologies each have advantages and disadvantages. Some types of equipment detect movement promptly and precisely, but are often clumsy to use and restrict the scope of body movement due to the tangible connections that they require. Inertial devices require fewer physical connectors, but respond slowly and less accurately. Devices based on magnetism and ultrasound also tend to be slow and magnetic machines can be hindered by nearby ferrous elements. A current method of optical motion measurement involves attaching several LEDs to clothing and then monitoring the movement of the Light Emitting Diodes through computer, but this method only measures a limited quantity of places on one's body.
