Features: Virtual reality technology is a highly realistic human-computer interaction technique that simulates human visual, auditory, tactile, and force feedback behaviors in natural environments. It is a new method that utilizes human perception and manipulation capabilities. It transforms computers from devices that operate solely with keyboards and mice into systems and environments capable of natural interaction, providing users with a sense of immersion. Based on the research content of virtual reality, this book is divided into two main parts: the fundamentals of virtual reality and the applications of virtual reality. It systematically introduces the principles of virtual reality systems and related graphics knowledge. To facilitate readers in comparing the basic theories of virtual reality with practical applications, the book provides detailed descriptions of the applications of virtual reality in several areas. This book can serve as a teaching and self-study textbook for senior undergraduate and graduate students in computer science, mechatronics, human-computer interaction, intelligent robotics, simulation technology, and related fields, as well as a reference for researchers in these areas.
