  2. Simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation

    A virtual simulation is a category of simulation that uses simulation equipment to create a simulated world for the user. Virtual simulations allow users to interact with a virtual world . Virtual worlds operate on platforms of integrated software and hardware components.

  3. Live, virtual, and constructive - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live,_virtual,_and...

    A live simulation, by definition represents the highest fidelity, since it is reality. But a simulation quickly becomes more difficult when it is created from various live, virtual and constructive elements, or sets of simulations with various network protocols, where each simulation consists of a set of live, virtual and constructive elements.

  4. Simulation hypothesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulation_hypothesis

    The simulation hypothesis proposes that what we experience as the world is actually a simulated reality, such as a computer simulation in which we ourselves are constructs. [1] [2] There has been much debate over this topic in the philosophical discourse, and regarding practical applications in computing.

  5. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Simulations allow setting up a coherent synthetic environment that allows for integration of simulated systems in the early analysis phase via mixed virtual systems with first prototypical components to a virtual test environment for the final system. If managed correctly, the environment can be migrated from the development and test domain to ...

  6. Virtual world - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_world

    Users exploring the world with their avatars in Second Life. A virtual world (also called a virtual space or spaces) is a computer-simulated environment [1] which may be populated by many simultaneous users who can create a personal avatar [2] and independently explore the virtual world, participate in its activities, and communicate with others.

  7. Computer simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_simulation

    It was a simulation of 12 hard spheres using a Monte Carlo algorithm. Computer simulation is often used as an adjunct to, or substitute for, modeling systems for which simple closed form analytic solutions are not possible. There are many types of computer simulations; their common feature is the attempt to generate a sample of representative ...

  8. Simulated reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality

    A researcher using a virtual reality headset in 2017. A simulated reality is an approximation of reality created in a simulation, usually in a set of circumstances in which something is engineered to appear real when it is not.

  9. Virtual reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality

    In projector-based virtual reality, modeling of the real environment plays a vital role in various virtual reality applications, including robot navigation, construction modeling, and airplane simulation. Image-based virtual reality systems have been gaining popularity in computer graphics and computer vision communities. In generating ...
