متن کاملI3VR –intuitive interactive immersive virtual reality– technology
I3VR is the intuitive immersive Virtual Reality technology for interaction of two or more subjects in a wide space through the use of full body avatars and wireless data transmission. For this, use is made of real-time tracking of 3D body segment posture and movement through inertial sensors, also known as “sourceless” sensors. This paper describes the main characteristics of the technology and...
