C. READING
Virtual reality devices
The most common user interface in computing today is a graphical user interface, or GUI.
Typically, a GUI includes menus, windows, icons, buttons and a mouse as pointing device. But
with the development of virtual reality (VR) techniques, a different type of interface has
emerged: a virtual interface. VR uses 30 graphics and computer simulation to generate an
imaginary world in which the user can move in a Virtual interface. You put on a head-mounted
display (HMD) to see the pictures, which makes you feel as if you are in a 3-0 world. Most
HMDs have two displays and provide stereoscopic vision. You also use sophisticated
controlling devices, such as 3-D joysticks, gloves, special suits and motion detectors.
A virtual mouse trackball or joystick is used to move around the space you are exploring. A
data 9 gloves (or VR glove) has pressure pads and sensors on the fingers which make you feel
as if you are picking up objects and touching things Full Body Suits with position and bend
sensors are used for capturing motion.
Motion detectors allow the machine to sense when and how you move. VR systems are
already being used in fields like video games, architectural design and virtual exhibitions. Other
VR applications allow participants to view reality from an advantageous position, for example,
simulators and telepresence systems.
In simulators, scientists create a particular condition or situation by using a computer
program to reproduce it. For example, pilots use flight simulators to do their training. A
telepresence system connects remote sensors in the real world with the senses of a person:
for instance, doctors use tiny cameras and instruments on cables to do complicated surgery,
and scientists use remotely operated robots to work in dangerous conditions, to explore
volcanic activity, the depths of the ocean or Outer space.
Direction: according to the reading, find the words in the text with the following meanings.

1. Artificial reality or environment generated by computers VR uses 30 graphics and computer
simulation to generate an imaginary world in which the user can move in a Virtual interface.
2. User interface based on virtual reality most common in computing today is a graphical user
interface or GUI. Usually, a GUI includes menus, windows, icons, buttons and a mouse as a
pointing device.
3. A video display that a person wears in front of the face (HMD) to see the images, which
makes you feel like you are in a 3-0 world.
4. Effect of perceiving a 3-D world by sending two views to the user ‘s right and left eyes . Most
HMDs have two screens and provide stereoscopic vision.
