Morton Heilig, Through a Combination of Ingenuity, Determination, and Sheer Stubbornness, Was the First Person to Attempt to Create What We Now Call Virtual Reality
Morton Hei Iig "The [in em a of the Future" << 2 2 >> (1955) ;!fo11o11 Hdlir;. Sens<muna. Cuuri<S_) oJS1o11 Fi1lur. "Thus, individually and collectively, by thoroughly applying the methodology of art, the cinema of the future will become the first art form to reveal the new scientific world to man in the .full sensual vividness and dynamic vitality of his consciousness." 239 240 Horton Heilig << Morton Heilig, through a combination of ingenuity, determination, and sheer stubbornness, was the first person to attempt to create what we now call virtual reality. In the 1 950s it occurred to him that all the sensory splendor of life could be simulated with "reality machines." Heilig was a Hollywood cinematographer, and it was as an extension of cinema that he thought such a machine might be achieved. With his inclination, albeit amateur, toward the ontological aspirations of science, He ilig proposed that an artist's expressive powers would be enhanced by a scientific understanding of the senses and perception. His premise was sim ple but striking for its time: if an artist controlled the multisensory stimulation of the audience, he could provide them with the illusion and sensation of first person experience, of actually " being there." Inspired by short-Jived curiosities such as Cinerama and 3-D movies, it oc curred to Heilig that a logical extension of cinema would be to immerse the au dience in a fabricated world that engaged all the senses. He believed that by expanding cinema to involve not only sight and sound but also taste, touch, and smell, the traditional fourth wal l of film and theater would dissolve, transport ing the audience into an inhabitable, virtual world; a kind of "experience theater." Unable to find support in Hollywood for his extraordinary ideas, Heilig moved to Mexico City In 1954, finding himself in a fertile mix of artists, filmmakers, writers, and musicians. -

Leap Motion Controllertm
Leap Motion ControllerTM The world’s leading hand tracking technology The Leap Motion Controller from Ultraleap is an optical hand tracking module that captures the movement of users’ hands and fingers so they can interact naturally with digital content. Small, fast, and accurate, the Leap Motion Controller can be used for productivity applications with Windows computers, integrated into enterprise- grade hardware solutions or displays, or attached to virtual/augmented reality headsets for AR/VR/XR prototyping, research, and development. The controller is capable of tracking hands within a 3D interactive zone that extends up to 60cm (24”) or more, extending from the device in a 120×150° field of view. Leap Motion‘s software is able to discern 27 distinct hand elements, including bones and joints, and track them even when they are obscured by other parts of the hand. With a 120Hz refresh rate and low-latency software, the time between motion and photon falls beneath the human perception threshold1. An accessory component, the VR Developer Mount, allows for easy, reliable, and consistent attachment of the device to virtual reality headsets such as the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. The Leap Motion App Gallery features 75+ legacy desktop applications and a demo suite for virtual reality. Example applications • Entertainment (location-based VR/AR experiences, arcades, amusement parks) • Healthcare (stroke rehabilitation, training, mirror, medical imaging, lazy eye treatment) • Therapy and Education (anatomic visualizations, hands-on learning) • Personnel training (flight simulators, complex computer systems) • Industrial design and engineering (automotive, assembly lines, facilities management) • Robotics (telepresence, robotic controls, AI-assisted teaching) The Leap Motion Controller features a 120×150° • Global team collaboration field of view and an interactive tracking range of more than 2 feet (60cm). -

Natural Menu Interactions in VR with Leap Motion Masterarbeit
Natural Menu Interactions in VR with Leap Motion Masterarbeit Zur Erlangung des Grades Master of Science (M.Sc.) im Studiengang Informatik vorgelegt von Björn Zeutzheim Erstgutachter: Prof. Dr. Stefan Müller (Institut für Computervisualistik, AG Computergraphik) Zweitgutachter: Nils Höhner, M.Sc. (Institut für Wissensmedien, IWM) Koblenz, der 6. September 2019 Erklärung Ich versichere, dass ich die vorliegende Arbeit selbständig verfasst und keine anderen als die angegebenen Quellen und Hilfsmittel benutzt habe. Ja Nein Mit der Einstellung dieser Arbeit in die Bibliothek bin ich einverstanden. □ □ . (Ort, Datum) (Unterschrift) Abstract With the appearance of modern virtual reality (VR) headsets on the consumer market, there has been the biggest boom in the history of VR technology. Naturally, this was accompanied by an increasing focus on the problems of current VR hardware. Especially the control in VR has always been a complex topic. One possible solution is the Leap Motion, a hand tracking device that was initially developed for desktop use, but with the last major software update it can be attached to standard VR headsets. This device allows very precise tracking of the user’s hands and fingers and their replication in the virtual world. The aim of this work is to design virtual user interfaces that can be operated with the Leap Motion to provide a natural method of interaction between the user and the VR environment. After that, subject tests are performed to evaluate their performance and compare them to traditional VR controllers. Zusammenfassung Mit dem Erscheinen moderner Virtual Reality (VR) Headsets auf dem Verbrauchermarkt, gab es den bisher größten Aufschwung in der Geschichte der VR Technologie. -
