The ideas and techniques of virtual reality are now being made
available for the creation of artificial or virtual geographies (a
virtual geography refers to the creation of artificial geographies
for use in research and teaching, using ideas and techniques from
the field of virtual reality (VR)). Such virtual geographies are
currently being constructed and used at a number of sites and
include virtual cities, landscape visualization, visualizing past
and future geographies, visualizing abstract concepts and taking
people on virtual field courses. Virtual Reality in Geography
covers 'through the window' VR systems, 'fully immersive' VR
systems and hybrids of the two types. The authors examine the
Virtual Reality Modeling Language approach, and explore its
deficiencies when applied to real geographic environments. This
book will be of great interest to geographers, computer scientists
and all those interested in multimedia and computer graphics. There
is an accompanying CD-ROM containing a rich selection of images and
pieces of virtual reality software. This is a totally unique book
covering an area of geography that is rapidly becoming used in all
aspects of the field. It covers all the major uses and methods of
virtual reality used by geographers and the lack of anything else
written about the subject to date should ensure a wide readership.
The authors have produced a CDROM that comes with the book of
virtual reality images that will be a fascinating companion to the
text.
