Ubiquitous Virtual Reality: The State-of-the-Art

Today, virtual reality is becoming ubiquitous and tremendous trends. Ubiquitous virtual reality (uVR) realizes virtual reality on ubiquitous smart space. In this platform, u-Content has been introduced as a new kind of realism that will realistically mediate real space. To go beyond the boundary of virtuality, pervasive virtuality has been introduced as a better fusion of reality and virtuality that will enhance visualization of virtual environments towards what is considered as the 'true' virtual reality. This paper addresses the state-of-the-art of uVR by deciphering its definition, dimensions and features, the concept of pervasive virtuality and its characters, as well as a case study on intelligent machine space, called DIGILOG space.
