Pictorial communication in virtual and real environments

Current advances in computer processing power and hardware have enabled computer graphics to present new pictorial displays and representations, now popularly understood as virtual reality or VR. This book analyses the communication that develops between human users and machines in both real and synthetic environments. Specific synthetic environments are exemplified in virtual imagery, headmounted displays, and panel-mounted pictorial display; real but unusual environments are encountered in extreme human activities like space travel. The book's range is broad and diverse, visual and spatial perception; human factors and ergonomics; telerobotics; manual and supervisory control; scientific visualization and medical illustration.

  • "Advances in the quality and accessibility of computer graphics has provided new pictorial displays and the tools with which to control them. These new display technologies have focused interest on how to design the static and dynamic images they produce to ensure effective communication. This book, based on the conference on Spatial Displays and Spatial instruments held at the Asilomar Conference Centre in 1987, focuses on the geometry of this communication. It is intended to be a source book of theoretical analysis, experimental demonstrations and practical examples from a range of contributors interested in pictorial communication, from medical artists to astronauts. The book offers the theoretical background and practical guidance needed by designers of contemporary 2D and 3D graphical computer interfaces. Its major contribution lies in its outlining of the elements of human perception and motor control which underlie the geometric design of head-mounted graphics for virtual reality displays."@en
