Assignment 1

During WWII they devolved several technological advances including radar and sonar. ENIAC was also devolved at the same time. It was used to produce ballistics tables for artillery in battle. In 1986 Douglas Engelbart unveiled a computer that used a mouse, was able to “E”mail, and edit text.
Daniel Sandin and Thomas DeFanti conceived of a virtual reality system that puts the whole human body directly inside a computer-generated environment. They called their system the CAVE. It is an immersive virtual reality environment where projectors display a whole environment. They used it in 1992 as a “virtual tour” where a person could explore the prehistoric caves of Lascaux.
