Immersive multimedia combines multimedia elements and interactivity in virtual reality. It began in the 1960s as computer scientists and artists sought to create realistic computer-generated experiences through virtual reality. The Discovery Dome is a portable digital theater that enhances education with engaging visuals and storylines tied to educational standards, some being interactive. Stereographic projection and 3D simulations are being used to transform STEM education by providing hands-on virtual experiences.
2. Definition of Immersive Multimedia
Immersive Multimedia is a combination of multimedia elements
and interactivity in Virtual Reality. The history began with the
concept of Virtual Reality with the desire of computer scientists
and artists were to create, digitally-made ‘near-to-reality’
experiences through Interactive Multimedia in 1960s. This
became known as Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality, today, is a
computer-created environment that a user can experience
through the senses of sight, hearing and touch.
Education: Discovery Dome
The Discovery Dome is a portable, all-digital dome theatre
perfect for enhancing K-12 curricula and staging informal
educational events. The low-cost design and rental options make
it affordable to most school districts and museums.
Programming for our portable domes combines riveting visuals
and engaging storylines with diverse content tied to national
standards. Some of the programs are linear movies and others
are interactive, enabling the teacher or the students to interact
with a virtual world.
3. Education: Stereographic Projection
A growing trend to transform STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering and Math) education involves motivating and
educating students using learning environments based on
immersive and interactive STEM simulations. By providing
hands-on experiences in both 2D and stereographic 3D modes in
conjunction with unique Active Shutter DLP Link 3D glasses,
participants may explore how to evaluate and effectively
integrate these advanced virtual reality technologies effectively
in all subject areas. These simulations include geometry/algebra,
frog and human anatomy dissection, zoology, botany,
microbiology, and earth science modules.
Business: City Lens Augmented Reality App
Nokia has announced a refined version of City Lens replete with
3D icons and the ability to disable suggestions that aren’t within
the line of sight. Also on deck, users will be able to query their
surroundings more quickly more quickly by pinning categories
to the home screen and storing favourite searches.
4. Business: Teliris InterACT TouchTable(TM)
The revolutionary Teliris InterACT TouchTable(TM) and Teliris
InterACT TouchWall(TM), allows for documents, video, audio,
