TEACHING WHEN TECHNOLOGY HACKS REALITY
Middlebury College - 2017
Ground rules for today• Please ask questions. We forbid
embarrassment.• We are assuming a baseline
awareness of being new to VR/AR/MR.
• Please contribute thoughts. This is a rapidly developing field!
VR: introductionVirtual reality (VR) typically refers to computer technologies that use software to generate realistic images, sounds and other sensations that replicate a real environment (or create an imaginary setting), and simulate a user's physical presence in this environment.

VR+AR=MRMixed reality (MR), sometimes referred to as hybrid reality, is the merging of real and virtual worlds to produce new environments and visualizations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. Mixed reality takes place not only in the physical world or the virtual world, but is a mix of reality and virtual reality, encompassing both augmented reality and augmented virtuality.
