  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. Simulated reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulated_reality

    Most concepts invoking a simulated reality relate to some form of computer simulation, whether through the creation of a virtual reality that creates appearance of being in a real world, or a theoretical process like mind uploading, in which a mind could be uploaded into a computer

  5. Virtual reality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_reality

    Currently, standard virtual reality systems use either virtual reality headsets or multi-projected environments to generate some realistic images, sounds and other sensations that simulate a user's physical presence in a virtual environment. A person using virtual reality equipment is able to look around the artificial world, move around in it ...

  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. Modeling and simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modeling_and_simulation

    Modeling and simulation (M&S) is the use of models (e.g., physical, mathematical, behavioral, or logical representation of a system, entity, phenomenon, or process) as a basis for simulations to develop data utilized for managerial or technical decision making.

  8. Immersion (virtual reality) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immersion_(virtual_reality)

    A woman using the Manus VR glove development kit in 2016. In virtual reality (VR), immersion is the perception of being physically present in a non-physical world. The perception is created by surrounding the user of the VR system in images, sound or other stimuli that provide an engrossing total environment.

  9. Instructional simulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instructional_simulation

    Live (live action) and virtual simulations are primarily used for training purposes, whereas a constructive simulation is used to view or predict outcomes like wargaming or stockmarket behavior. Each of these types is based on some reality and is intended to provide the user with a pseudo-experience without the danger, expense, or complexity of ...
