  • Virtual reality: Jaron Lanier, head of VPL Research of Redwood City, California, photographed surrounded by demonstration images of the virtual, non-real worlds that VPL have created. Fiber- optic sensors in the black rubber glove Lanier is wearing transmit a user's movements into the computer-generated virtual environment. A user's view of such a world is projected by the computer into 2 eye phones mounted on a headset. Model Released (1990)

  • Three women dressed in black abayas and shielded from the hot desert sun in wide-brimmed straw hats called nakhls, and even gloves, tend goats near Shibam, on the edge of the Arabian Peninsula's Rub al Khali, or Empty Quarter. (From the book What I Eat: Around the World in 80 Diets) This section of the Arabian Desert holds the world's largest stretch of sand. Further north into Saudi Arabia, this desert contains some of the world's richest oil and gas fields. Though modestly dressed, the women aren't adverse to throwing stones to keep their goats close by?or to keep strangers with cameras away.

  • Virtual reality. Cyberspace racquetball game: real strokes made by Christopher Allis, the player are returned by the Cyberspace computer through the virtual, computer- generated environment displayed on the monitor. Admission to this virtual squash court is provided by 3-D video goggles, a magnetic sensor & optical fiber sensors woven into a black rubber glove. The headset sensor transmits data to the computer on the player's position in space, whilst the data glove connects real hand movements to the virtual racquet court. Photo taken at AutoDesk Inc., Sausalito, California. Model Released (1990)

  • Virtual or artificial reality. Alvar Green, CEO of Autodesk in 1990, Playing Cyberspace, a sophisticated videogame designed by AutoDesk Inc., USA. The computer monitor displays an image of one of Cyberspace's virtual (non-real) environments - a room - into which the player enters by wearing a headset & data glove. Two video images of the environment fit are projected into the eyes, whilst physical interaction is achieved through spatial sensors in the headset & optical fibers woven into the black rubber data glove, which send data to the computer on the player's position & movements in space. Alvar Green Model Released (1990)

  • Applications of virtual reality systems in medical education. Here, Scott Delp and Scott Fisher are using a system developed at NASA's Ames Research Centre in Menlo Park, California, to study the anatomy of the human leg. They both wear a headset equipped with 3-D video displays to view the computer-generated graphical images - one is shown between the two doctors. Physical exploration of the leg anatomy is afforded by using the data glove, a black rubber glove with woven optical fiber sensors, which relays data on their physical hand movements back to the computer. Model Released (1990)

  • Virtual sex. Pornographic application of virtual reality, showing a man mauling his virtual conquest provided by his headset and data glove & an unseen computer system. Virtual, in computer parlance, describes equipment or programs that assume one form yet give the illusion of another. Here, the image of the woman is provided by the system through goggles in the head-set; contact is effectively faked by optic-optic sensors in the black, rubber data glove, which relay information on aspect and movement of the man's fingers. Photographed at Autodesk Inc., USA. MODEL RELEASED. (1990)

  • Virtual reality in air traffic control (ATC) systems. Bill Wiseman from the University of Washington Human Interface Technology Laboratory, Seattle, demonstrating how ATC might operate in the future. Optical fiber sensors in his black data glove & the pink-rimmed micro-laser scanner glasses connect the operator with a virtual, computer-generated, 3-D image of the airspace he is controlling. Through raising his gloved hand to touch an icon (projected image) of an approaching jet, he is placed in instant voice communication with the pilot. This photograph was taken with the cooperation of SEA/TAC international airport, Seattle. MODEL RELEASED. (1990)
