Computer Studies Form V Test

Form V Test 1. Virtual reality creates images for virtual tours on websites by processing photos. Features would include navigation and hotspots. Other applications are education and gaming. GPS calculates a bus's location using satellites and directs the driver via a sat nav system. Advantages are navigation assistance and tracking. A supermarket simulates checkout queues by collecting data and modeling queues. Simulations allow testing alternatives before implementing changes. Hardware and software are used to create animation effects in films through modeling, rendering and special effects. User guides include purpose, instructions and troubleshooting while technical guides include specifications, programming and maintenance. Methods to computerize systems are parallel runs, pilot installations, direct conversion and phased implementation, each with pros and cons.
